Market: Villa Growers Inc. “It’s a family-owned company; we love them,” says Juhos. “I’ve known some of these people longer than my cousins. They bring in local product from Southern California and Carpinteria you don’t see everywhere else. They also make custom garlands and wreaths; we add to them.” Southern California Flower Market Stall 7 Jennifer Juhos creates a wreath at her Fiore Designs studio from things she found at the Los Angeles Flower Market.(Al Seib / Los Angeles Times) O&J Growers “These guys are all local growers; they have their own farms. We like to buy as much local as possible. I like protea, they’re really long-lasting. You can put them with greenery so it feels a little holiday but not too much. They can last one and a half to two weeks in your house. I’m looking for ones that look the freshest, not too open, not too closed,” says Renna. Southern California Flower Market Stall 34 Advertisement FleuraMetz“It’s very high quality; they’re imported but not all of it,” says Renna. “There’s more unique stuff, more variety here. They are one of the biggest vendors, so they get stuff from all over the world.

Steve's Valencia Florist closing after 45 years - Santa Clarita Valley Signal

So Jan Hanauer took it upon herself to carry on his legacy. She wanted to keep open the business that had once brought flowers from a local grower up the coast in Carpinteria, to the San Fernando and Santa Clarita valleys.“It just used to be much easier to be in the flower business,” she said. “People would call you for all occasions, or no occasions. And nowadays, maybe they call you twice a year.”Florists welcomeBefore Santa Clarita became a city, the florists were welcomed left and right. Hanauer remembers Steve, a Saugus resident for many years, making deliveries every weekend, to destinations including the Catholic church just down the street.That church, Our Lady of Perpetual Help in Newhall, got its final delivery last weekend, with one of the many small cards Hanauer spent the last few weeks typing up.Every other business that had had Steve’s flowers adorn their front desks for years got the same message: Steve’s Valencia Florist was giving out its swan songs this week.It was time, as competition was edging them out. The economy was turning, telling Hanauer it was time to close shop. It wasn’t even just the farmer’s markets that sold day-old flowers people would rather pick up — now you could even order flowers online.Hanauer didn’t want to stop selling for a while. She wanted to honor her husband’s memory, even when the bills started adding up and the variety started dwindling down.“I can’t continue putting money into it on a weekly basis and not making money, you know,” she said. “And yeah, it’s the availability of flowers, it’s the economy. The quality isn’t the same elsewhere as you get in the florist, but it is what it is.”She couldn’t help but think of how sad Steve would be if he were alive. That part is what hurts, more than the fact that she has to find a new job now to support herself and Penny.It is time to go, but not just for Hanauer. What is Penny going to do?“She’ll be sad,” Hanauer said. “She enjoys coming down to see everyone every day. She’ll miss the people.”Advertisement Let's block ads!... https://signalscv.com/2019/01/steves-valencia-florist-closing-after-45-years/

I already have a handful of loyal customers who have been coming in a few times a week since the beginning, and I can’t wait to gain more over time.”Born in Syracuse, Rae moved to southern California with her mother at the age of four, returning to CNY each year to visit family and friends.The florist discovered her interest in design at the age of 20 while working at a beachside hotel in California.“We would receive a beautiful floral arrangement for the lobby weekly, and something just clicked in me that designing was something I wanted to pursue,” she said. “From there I traveled to LA and San Francisco, taking course after course on designing and also working in shops and design studios. Over the past 10 years I’ve lived in four different states, always with the same career and end goal in mind.”After deciding to settle down in Central New York to be near her family, Rae began searching for a perfect location to open a shop.“I found it here, in the heart of Cazenovia,” she said. “The amount of creativity and support in this community is so inspiring and something I am very excited to be a part of.”For more information, visit the Jasmine Rae Floral Design Facebook page, or call 315-815-5043.

Coco Shop Designer Taylor Simmons Wore Floral Oscar de la Renta for Her Outdoor Ceremony Overlooking the Ocean - Vogue

It was a sophisticated detail that made it feel even more like we were inviting everyone into our home,” Taylor says. Jameson’s father, who was unable to fly to the wedding from California, grows grapes and makes wine in Mendocino County, California. He provided wine with personalized labels commemorating the original November date. “I love that Jameson had a little bit of home with him in Massachusetts that day through the wine,” Taylor says. At 1:30 p.m., guests were invited to sit for lunch, which took place steps away under a tent on the home’s grass terrace. The terrace perfectly fit two tables and allowed for seating at a distance. “I made the table cloths and napkins out of Coco Shop fabric, and Laura, the... https://www.vogue.com/slideshow/taylor-simmons-jameson-mcfadden-cape-cod-wedding

Coronavirus foils wedding plans — for Bay Area workers - Vallejo Times-Herald

Artisans, professionals and hourly workers in California’s booming wedding industry are scrambling as nuptials are postponed or canceled, said Richard Markel, president of the Association for Wedding Professionals International. About a quarter-million couples tie the knot in California each year, spending an average of about $25,000 on a ceremony — although the Bay Area and Wine Country are more expensive, he said.Planners are concerned the statewide shelter-in-place will stretch into their busy season, which usually begins in June, he said. “It’s going to get a little hairier.”Eileen Lacey, owner of E Events in Santa Cruz, now has clients postponing June ceremonies. She’s resisted layoffs for her three employees, who help manage weddings from Carmel to Wine Country and beyond for national and international clients.Lacey has spent weeks rescheduling events. She’s not charging for the complicated work. “I’m just doing it,” she said. “Everyone’s trying to do what they can.”Carlie Statsky, a Santa Cruz-based photographer, typically shoots about 20 weddings a year. It’s been a steady business for two decades — until now. Her March was canceled, her April events postponed, and now May is starting to look iffy, she said.Statsky has changed focus. She’s directing customers to her print shop on Etsy, and emailing past clients about ordering wedding albums and new prints of their nuptials.Statsky spotted another opportunity in the work-from-home customers. She’s invited people to send in photos of their rooms, and she’s suggested new prints from her collection of Big Sur and nature photos. “People are using this time to redecorate,” she said.Caterers have tried to shift into home delivery and pick-up services, but layoffs are widespread.Berkeley-based caterer Mixing Bowl has laid-off staff as events have been canceled or postponed, said vice president of marketing Maria Kuzmina. The company is trying to switch its business to sell directly to customers, but it needs more delivery drivers and customer service representatives. “We’re trying to create a whole new platform,” she said. “It’s tricky.”The company has reached out to hospitals and health care facilities, offering to bring lunches and dinners at cost to first responders, she said. But healthcare workers are busy caring for virus victims.Liza Bagerman, a San Francisco event planner with her own business, Studio DBI, has been rescheduling weddings for more than a month. She thought she had prepared for the worst-case scenario, but not “a world-wide pandemic.”She wakes up every morning, she says, thinking about ways to generate income. Bagerman knows she’s not alone. “I think the events world is going to be forever changed,” she said. “The answer is still a question mark.”In Palo Alto, the bouquets have been selling briskly, Minerva said. She hopes her temporary change in business plan gets her through the crisis.After all, she’s filled the yard with flowers, and the irises, pansies and roses bloom next. https://www.timesheraldonline.com/2020/04/03/coronavirus-foils-wedding-plans-for-workers
