The second-best flower shop in Naperville, Ill., is struggling to survive. Along with the American Dream. - The Washington Post

Moe Zoyarifor The Washington Post In Naperville, Ill., Jenny Latham is struggling to pay the $3,800 monthly rent for her shop, Celidan Creations Florist. Her mom Karin Jacobs, who founded the store in 1992, passed away last month. Florists dream of spring, when shops burst in a colorful riot of blooms while ledgers pool in black ink. First Communions, Palm Sunday, Easter, proms, charity events, weddings, more weddings and the flowery grail of Mother’s Day.But spring has been brutal for Jenny Latham, owner of Celidan Creations Florist in Naperville, Ill.Flowers are a luxury dependent on the health of other businesses. Ordinarily, Celidan, founded in 1992 by Latham’s mother, Karin Jacobs, supplies churches, restaurants and corporate offices in the city of almost 150,000, west of Chicago. All were closed due to covid-19. Celidan’s front door locked, too. The shop remained open to phone and online orders and was permitted to make deliveries for what has become known in the industry as ring-and-run.Florists are there to celebrate life’s memorable moments.

I’m a New York bride who had to cancel her wedding 6 days before it was supposed to happen. We’ve rescheduled, but the financial and emotional stress hasn’t gone away. - Business Insider

We wanted to recoup as much as possible, so we opted for the next available Friday, which is July 17. South Gate is a big family business – the caterer’s sister is his florist, his brother is a photographer – so that made the transition easier. There were just a lot of phone calls and a little bit of juggling to make sure all of the vendors could transfer their services to that date. The limos, the DJ, and basically everyone else involved were able to make the switch. Our officiant was the only missing piece – we’ll have to make a change there – but overall there wasn’t major damage. Some of our flowers were already in transit, so the florist had to accept at least half upon delivery. We had 300 blush roses in our house for days; I was giving them away to friends, neighbors, anyone who would take them. captionSome of the blush roses that it was too late to return..sourceCourtesy photo That portion of the flowers ($1,500) and the officiant fee ($500) were a complete loss. I put off estimating our overall losses for a month, basically thinking “it is what it is,” but after adding it all up, it’s not nearly as bad as I had imagined. We’re losing about $3,000, which is nothing compared to the total cost of the wedding which is around $65,000. But there’s so much that I can’t put a price on. captionDate-specific overnight gift bags for the couple’s hotel guests.sourceCourtesy photo Our date was meaningful to me. It’s engraved on my champagne flutes which are now useless. My honeymoon couldn’t be salvaged. We were originally going to St. Lucia, but that was booked up in July so we’ve switched to Barbados. It’s fine; it doesn’t matter where we go – but summer flights and vacations are almost double the price of what I was paying to go away in March. That’s an added expense we weren’t counting on. captionDate-specific water bottles that will have to be redone.sourceCourtesy photo I made dozens of overnight bags for the guests who were staying in the hotel; they were filled with personalized water bottles and other dated items which have to be scrapped. Our favors will have to be rewrapped and tagged with our new date, the personalized T-shirts my mom made will now never be worn. Our bridal party gifts were dated and have to be redone. I have everything stored in a spare room, and day by day I realize more and more things that will have to be changed. I’m worried. Because we canceled less than a week before the wedding, all of our vendors were already paid in full. I’m confident the payments will be honored and our wedding will eventually go off without a hitch – but we poured all of our money into this big day that still hasn’t happened, and now there will be more expenses to come. Our new date is only a few months away so we’re in the process of reprinting and resending invitations, but I’m nervous about making that move. Will this be over by then? Will we get close to that date and realize we have to postpone once again? Right... https://www.businessinsider.sg/new-york-bride-postponed-wedding-due-to-coronavirus-2020-5

Flower shops spring back to life ahead of Mother’s Day after state lifts restrictions - The Boston Globe

Florist Tiffany Day shopped for flowers for her shop Petals By The Day in Westwood at the New England Exchange in Chelsea on Thursday.David L. Ryan/Globe StaffPat Riccardi spent his teens walking the streets of Somerville in the 1970s, peddling bouquets to make an extra buck as a high school and college student. But it took his father asking him to help out during the Valentine’s Day grind of 1980 to fully ensnare him in the family flower business. Forty years later, he and his brother own it.Yet the coronavirus brought Riccardi Wholesale Flowers to its knees when customers called en masse to cancel wedding and Easter orders. The busiest time of the year withered away.“All the orders that were supposed to go out from March 23rd onward, which would have been church and wedding work, just sat in our refrigerator for us to eat. If we couldn’t donate it, we threw it away,” said Riccardi, pained just thinking about the discarded blooms.AdvertisementBut a tired proverb proved true: April sho... https://www.bostonglobe.com/2020/05/07/nation/after-months-empty-shelves-closed-shops-florists-spring-back-life-ahead-mothers-day-surge/

A Flower Shop Reinvented to Reopen - The New York Times

OAKLAND, Calif. — Elizabeth Wardman was driving to San Francisco’s wholesale flower market last week when she heard on the radio that California was going to allow florists to reopen for Mother’s Day as part of an easing of coronavirus lockdown rules.By the time she got to the market at 6 a.m., the parking lot was teeming with florists stocking up for one of the busiest weekends of the year. Wisteria Rockridge, her flower shop in Oakland’s tony Rockridge neighborhood, had already received online and phone orders for the weekend. Ms. Wardman scooped up as many flowers as she could in a fit of panic buying.A flood of delivery orders came in to the shop, three times the usual amount for Mother’s Day. But Wisteria had to stop accepting orders on Wednesday. The store had furloughed its employees and didn’t have enough people to do the work. For the rest of the week, the phone rang unanswered.“It’s heartbreaking,” Ms. Wardman said. “Every time it rings, you’re missing somebody. You’re letting business go.”Shutting down a business for a public health emergency seven weeks ago, it turned out, was a fairly straightforward thing. Reopening? That has turned... https://www.nytimes.com/2020/05/12/business/coronavirus-small-business-california-reopening.html
