Garden PartySUE ELLEN’S FLORAL BOUTIQUE“Moms come in all ages, occupations and style preferences, but they are usually united by fashion choices that are fun and, of course, decadent. But being a mom can be a tough gig—the expectations are sky-high, the hours are long, the work itself— Mother’s Day is a good time to stop and renew our appreciation, and an awesome gift couldn’t hurt.” — Sue ellen LARRIMORECredits: Bold and stunning, this arrangement commands the room with colorful peonies, garden roses, hydrangeas, ranunculus and phalaenopsis orchid stems.

Lilies & CherriesFLOWERS BY FUDGIE“The hedge design inspiration came from gardening in the yard with my own mom.” — BECKI CREIGHTONCredits: Springing with oriental blush-colored Sorbonne lilies and seasonal cherry blossom branches, Becki Creighton, owner of Flowers by Fudgie, created a lush arrangement using fresh-cut tree fern, shaped into a hedge. The stone planter then receives a dash of whimsy, once Creighton encircled it with curly willow shrubs and adorned them with faux butterflies for a garden feel. The grandeur of the four-tiered design catches the eye of artists and green thumbs alike, while the wired ribbon French bow adds a gift-wrapped statement.

Hats Off To MomTIGER LILY FLORIST“Each one of us was nourished, protected and loved when we were too tiny to do anything for ourselves. Someone watched over us, guided us as we took our first steps and giggled with us as we tried new foods. If we are lucky, we have her wisdom, strength and fortitude. If we are luckier still, we have her by our side. And while honoring our mothers every day is a joy and a delight to us at Tiger Lily, Mother’s Day is the perfect occasion to celebrate her even more. So, hats off to the family CEO, stylist, Ms. Fix-it, lunch-maker, cheerleader, teacher, referee and superhero!” — LINDA DOMENICOCredits: A conceptual design turns heads with fuchsia phalaenopsis, peach free spirit garden roses, calla lilies, antique hydrangea, pur... https://www.srqmagazine.com/articles/1173/Natural-Beauties

Hillier Nurseries' history inspires display for Chelsea Flower Show - Daily Echo
Sunday, February 09, 2020Visitors to the exhibit will approach via a replica of the original Hillier shop in Winchester, which was bought in 1864. They will be transported back to the company’s beginnings as a single florist’s shop and a small patch of nursery land. Beyond the shop, visitors will discover a large warden with a stone-walled walkway, taking them on a journey through semi-mature trees, large shrubs and colourful herbaceous planting schemes. The walkway will end at a water feature. Lilly Gomm will join the team as designer for the second year running. She made her Chelsea debut with Hillier in 2019, winning gold. She said: “It is an absolute honour to be working with Hillier again, particularly this year as the company celebrates its history with its exhibit. The design this year is intended to capture the essence of Hillier, stand out and be memorable, at the same time as featuring the detailed stunning planting and variety that Hillier is known for.” The garden will feature 21 mature trees as well as Many of the plants grown on the Hampshire nursery and available in its 17 Hillier Garden Centres, which include branches at Winchester and Three Legged Cross. Chris Francis, director of retail and wholesale, said: “This garden recognises and celebrates something incredibly special so it’s only fitting that we have our greatest exhibit ever. “We are thrilled to be working with Lilly again.

Sunday, February 09, 2020Flowers of Point Loma at 2170 Chatsworth Blvd. is celebrating 35 years. The full-service florist shop now owned by Penn Bryan has lasted 35 years in Point Loma by customizing its business to meet its customers’ needs.“We were looking to find a flower stand to start out, and saw that the flower shop on the corner was up for sale,” said Bryan of how she and her husband acquired the business, Flowers of Point Loma, now at 2170 Chatsworth Blvd., from a retiring brother-sister team who’d had it since 1985.“I found my niche doing things that people wanted,” noted Bryan. “No other flower shops do what we do here.”The previous owners stayed with the Bryans for a year to help transition them into the floral business. That was good, added Penn, pointing out she had no previous experience with flowers.“I wanted to have kids and take them where I work,” Bryan said. “My daughter grew up in this flower shop.”Bryan fulfills her customer’s expectations, whatever they are. “They can make up their own bouquets or we can make it for them,” she said. “We’ve been here so long and people k... http://www.sdnews.com/view/full_story/27692651/article-Flowers-of-Point-Loma-still-blooms-after-35-years--?instance=business
Castle Rock florist to design 'Parasite' Oscars party - The Columbian
Sunday, February 09, 2020This is our ballgame now,” Vorse said of Pollen, the Castle Rock florist shop he opened July 2017. “I’ve worked with a lot of very large event production companies, but this is all Pollen. That’s the difference.”Event design and production company Gina Wade Creative met Saturday to decide who would design the party, Vorse said. None of the designers in L.A. fit their vision, and the company knew Vorse from working together on several past projects.“They got out of their meeting last Saturday and immediately they said, ‘We have to fly Pollen in,’ which is pretty neat,” Vorse said. “It was more than flattering, to say the least.”He declined to discuss how much he’ll earn or what the design costs.Vorse started his “creative process” almost immediately by watching “Parasite” for inspiration. Set in Korea, the dark comedy thriller follows one rich family and one poor family as their lives get unusually entangled.Pollen’s Oscar party design “pulls different moments” and “works off what the environment within the film looked like,” Vorse said. For example, all of the containers used in the design will be concrete, he said. He will fill the structures with “dark and sultry” colored flowers such as Japanese sweet peas.“It will all be very industrial, and the florals will be lush and romantic, but deep, dark, moody colors,” Vorse said.The Oscars party will feature suspended pieces and more avant garde decor than the weddings he’s designed in Cowlitz County, he said. But “pieces of Pollen” will shine through.“All that lushness and all the beautiful blossoms … the way we construct things here will be part of it. We will just add the extra flair once we get there.”Vorse will buy most of his flowers and design product once he’s in California, he said. But he also plans to take “a little piece of Washington with us,” because locally grown flowers are “just the best,” he said. Plus, some of those species aren’t readily available in Los Angeles. The Columbian is becoming a rare example of a news organization with local, family... https://www.columbian.com/news/2020/feb/05/castle-rock-florist-to-design-parasite-oscars-party/
Dallas Museum of Art League Scores a Famed Royal Florist for Signature Fundraiser - PaperCity Magazine
Sunday, February 09, 2020Photo by Eva Nemeth)We then asked him what his dream floral arrangements would be if an event were being thrown in his honor. (Seriously, can you imagine the pressure of that florist?)“They’d be seasonal and locally grown,” Connolly said “Yes! Dallas does have local growers and they are wonderful!”And if we’re going all out? Because what is Dallas if not a city that always does just that?“I would have some growing things, too, which I would give to my guests as a lasting memento of my party.”And there you have it. Seems like the planning committee should take this hint and run with it.Table sponsorships start at $5,000 and individual ticket are $500 (click here for more details on purchasing). The day includes an opening reception, raffle, floral presentation, lunch, book singing, and a first look at the fourth annual Art in Bloom Floral Exhibition. Each patron ticket also grants guests access to a posh patron party on February 29, which Connolly will attend as an honorary guest. https://www.papercitymag.com/society/dallas-museum-of-art-in-bloom-shane-connolly-royal-florist/
