Florist gets cold feet weeks before a bride's wedding - WOWT

OMAHA, Neb. (WOWT) -- A bride-to-be in Omaha thought she had everything ready for the big day, but her excitement wilted away when one vendor failed to come through. Not long after her engagement, Kamber Durham gave Toujours Wedding Planning a $230 deposit. “You don’t have a wedding without the flowers,” said Durham. She needed eight bridesmaid’s bouquets, 19 boutonnieres, seven corsages, and her own bouquet. “I was in sheer panic. I was 44 days out from my wedding and had no florals, absolutely nothing,” said Durham. Just a few weeks from I do’s she found another florist who did fill the order, but Kamper needs a refund from Toujors to help pay for it. “It’s not about the money it’s about the principle. I can’t operate my business doing that to customers,”... https://www.wowt.com/content/news/Florist-gets-cold-feet-weeks-before-a-brides-wedding--562569431.html

Four Floral Businesses To Receive The Century Award In Palm Springs

The 2018 Century Award honorees are: City Line Florist in Trumbull, Connecticut; Gould's Flowers in Lockport, New York; Janousek Florist & Greenhouse, Inc. in Omaha, Nebraska; and Lake Forest Flowers in Lake Forest, Illinois. "Each year when we gather at the SAF convention, we interact with business owners who have determination, vision and grit," said SAF Awards Committee Chairman Marvin Miller, Ph.D., AAF, of the Ball Horticultural Company in West Chicago, Illinois. "But to sustain that for 100 years or more is truly an impressive feat." City Line Florist Trumbull, Connecticut City Line Florist has been owned and operated by the Roehrich/Palazzo family since 1918. When Charles Roehrich returned home from World War I, he already had a family history in the floral industry; his grandfather had grown plants in greenhouses in Stratford, Connecticut, in the late 1800s. Charles borrowed a horse and wagon and sold flowering plants and cut flowers at the entrance of St. Michaels cemetery in Stratford, eventually opening up a storefront in Bridgeport, which sat on the city line of Stratford, leading to the name, City Line Florist. In 1975, Charles' son Bob and his grandchildren, Susan and Carl, decided to move to a new location in Trumbull, where they turned an old horse barn into a charming new florist shop. Bob received the Connecticut Florist of the Year Award in 2005. City Line, located in a quaint New England town of 30,000 people,  has been voted "Best Florist in Fairfield County" for several consecutive years and won the 2... http://www.perishablenews.com/index.php?article=0069973

A Family Tradition: Berkeley Floral Shop Celebrates 45 Years - Berkeley, NJ Patch

BERKELEY, NJ — Stacey Cofka's parents opened three flower shops on the Jersey Shore. Since they sold two shops and retired in 2004, A Blossom Shop Florist on Route 9 has remained a family operation. A Blossom Shop Florist opened in 1975 and has been celebrating its 45th anniversary throughout 2020. Cofka credits the local customers for sustaining the business. "It's a central location for covering a lot of the shore area, and the people are great," she told Patch. "Everyone's pretty much down to earth in this area. A lot of our customers, they're just fabulous. They come in, they're like family." Cofka worked in marketing for 12 years with Atlantic City casinos. Sixteen years ago, her parents — Paul and Cathy Mulhern — retired. They had sold their other shops in Sea Girt and Howell. Their daughter took the opportunity to buy the Bayville shop from her parents. "It just got overwhelming with the politics," she said of working for casinos. "I just said, 'Why am I doing this for everybody else when I can do it myself and apply a lot of the marketing that I learned through the casinos into my own business?'" Since then, A Blossom Sho... https://patch.com/new-jersey/berkeley-nj/family-tradition-berkeley-floral-shop-celebrates-45-years

Flowers 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=pb

This is a different type of ag,” she said. With a background in agriculture and plant science, Urick knows how to help flowers thrive in Wyoming.But her work isn’t done when she cuts the stems — as a florist, she also specializes in creative designs with the fresh-cut flowers.“We say it’s from seed to centerpiece,” she said. “It’s really from the beginning all the way to the end.” A love for plantsUrick’s journey to becoming a farmer-florist started at an early age; she has always loved plants.“I never had any doubt about what I wanted to do when I grew up — I knew it had to be something with plants,” she said.After receiving a bachelor’s degree in plant and soil science, and then a master’s in agriculture and natural resources, Urick worked in a lab for a while.“While I enjoyed that a lot, I did miss being outside, being in the field,” she said. “That’s really where I’m the happiest.”Several years ago, Urick came across an article in Country Living magazine by Erin Benzakein, who started Floret Flower Farm in Washington. In the article, Benzakein detailed how she created a successful business as a mom of two young children and how she was trying to spread the concept of American-grown flowers.“For me, it was just a spark,” Urick said.Though she doesn’t come from a floriculture background, Urick loves flowers and also has a creative and artistic side.She decided to apply for a Floret workshop, thinking if it was meant to be, she’d make it into one of the coveted training sessions.“I got a spot, and I loved it,” Urick recalled.Passiflora Farm eventually grew from there.As a mom with three young children, Urick’s work as a farmer-flo... http://www.powelltribune.com/stories/flower-farming-passiflora-farm-specializes-in-flowers-from-seed-to-centerpiece,20631
