Ige's reversal halts delivery of Mother's Day flowers - Honolulu Star-Advertiser

Farinas said.He said florists were panicking last week when Mayor Kirk Caldwell extended the stay-at-home order to the end of May. But he became hopeful after hearing news reports that the Ige administration issued an exemption to florists to make deliveries for Mother’s Day, which is May 10 this year.“It was exciting,” Farinas said. “We ordered quite a bit of flowers and plants in preparation for Mother’s Day.”Farinas, whose family has owned the 82-year-old Makiki business for four generations, said he placed all his orders within a couple of days because Mother’s Day was only a little over two weeks away. Then during Saturday’s news conference, Ige said the exemption for florists had not been approved.“I think that permission was granted prematurely,” Ige said. “I was not aware that it was actually granted, and the person authorizing it did not have the authority.”He said officials will be “looking business by business and industry by industry to see what the best practices are, and we will be making a decision about florists in the future.”Farinas, who was watching the news conference with his wife, said he was shocked.“I’m sure every other single florist in the state was in the same position.”Besides florists, some mayors had concerns about Ige’s news conference. Caldwell objected to Ige requiring that all county mayors submit their plans to the governor for approval before publication to reduce public confusion. Caldwell said it would cut into the mayors’ ability to lead.Maui Mayor Michael Victorino said in a statement Sunday, “The county mayors still need the flexibility and power to make immediate changes to protect the health and safety of our communities and we will continue to advocate for the needs of our people.”But Kauai Mayo... https://www.staradvertiser.com/2020/04/27/hawaii-news/iges-reversal-halts-delivery-of-mothers-day-flowers/

Wedding Flower Roundup: Keep up with what's fresh on Vail's floral scene

Vintage Magnolia does with standout flair, and its scene-setting floral arches have been creating a buzz."Floral arches provide a focal point for the wedding ceremony," explains owner Caitlin Caldwell. "Arches and chuppahs — a canopy-like structure that's part of traditional Jewish ceremony — frame the bride and groom, and they're becoming more and more personalized. People are asking for family heirlooms or story pieces, such as antlers from a recent hunt, to be woven into the scene."Such personalization is part of a larger wedding trend that extends beyond floral arches and chuppahs. Keep your eyes peeled for other personal touches this summer — in charms dangling from bridal bouquets to swatches of treasured fabrics intertwined among Vintage Magnolia's flower-bursting arches.Wild and Wonderful Personal FlowersPersonal flowers are those that designate members of the wedding party, family members or friends with floral hair accents, corsages, boutonnieres and the like. Some personal flowers can be made with a magnetic backing so that they're easy to attach for the ceremony and then remove when it's time to cut loose on the dance floor. Flower choices often complement colors in the overall wedding palette, and color choices for mountain weddings can get wild."Wildflowers and bold colors are common requests for Vail weddings," says Sarah Young, owner of Cedar's Flower Shop in Edwards, which has been in business for more than 20 years. "Bright yellow sunflowers are popular, along with deep purples and reds. Greenery, berries and thistles add texture and color, too. And eucalyptus of all different kinds has become a go-to choice with a fresh, aromatic scent."When floral inspiration hits at any time of the year, Cedar's is also the place to stop in Edwards when you're looking to liven up a space with houseplants, dried arrangements, custom wreaths and c... https://www.vaildaily.com/entertainment/vail-wedding-floral-scene/

Washington court rules against florist in gay wedding case - Albuquerque Journal

The case thrust the great-grandmother into the national spotlight and she testified before state lawmakers in Indiana and Kansas.Michael Scott, a Seattle attorney who worked with the American Civil Liberties Union to represent Robert Ingersoll and Curt Freed — the couple denied the flowers — had previously told justices he didn’t believe Stutzman’s floral creations constituted speech. By providing flowers for a same-sex marriage, he argued, “she’s not endorsing same-sex marriage. She’s selling what she sells.”Ferguson had said the state’s argument rested on longstanding principle, and uprooting it would weaken antidiscrimination law.After the arguments in the Supreme Court case last November, at a packed theater at Bellevue College, a large crowd of Stutzman’s supporters greeted her outside, chanting her name and waving signs that said “Justice For Barronelle.”In a February 2015 ruling, Benton County Superior Court Judge Alexander Ekstrom found that Stutzman’s refusal to provide flowers because of sexual orientation violated Washington’s anti-discrimination and consumer protection laws. The following month, Ekstrom ordered Stutzman to pay a $1,000 penalty to the state and $1 in costs and fees.Stutzman entered the florist business 30 years ago, when her mother bought a flower shop.At a press conference following the ruling, Ferguson said that under Washington law, a business is not required to provide a particular service, but if it does so for couples of the opposite sex, it must provide that service equally to same-sex couples. Ferguson noted that Stutzman is not currently selling wedding flowers, but if she were to resume that side of her business, she would not be allowed to sell to only heterosexual couples.“The state Supreme Court has made that very clear,” he said.___AP writer Gene Johnson contributed from Seattle. ... https://www.abqjournal.com/951260/washington-court-rules-against-florist-in-gay-wedding-case.html
