I learned through the casinos into my own business?'" Since then, A Blossom Shop Florist has earned several accolades from floral organizations and the Asbury Park Press. They will celebrate their 45th anniversary in several ways. A Blossom Shop Florist kicked off the celebration with a contest: guess the cost of the banner in their Jan. 10 post. The closest guesser by Jan. 24 will win one dozen roses arranged in a vase. The florist will also hold a summer event offering 45-cent roses, as they have on past anniversaries. A Blossom Shop Florist will also once again run the "Pedal it Forward" program. Anyone who donates a nonperishable food item during that time will receive a free flower bouquet. A local food bank will receive the donation. Forty-five years in, Cofka still values the relationships the shop has built with customers. "We recognize a lot of our customers," she said. "We have some customers that come in every week for flowers. But it's really about the relationships that have been built year after year."

Sales aren’t blooming: Florists adjust during pandemic - Midland Daily News

Ms. Bobola said she had to shut down the florist because wholesalers where Bobola Farms receives flowers from in New Jersey and Pennsylvania were closed. Bobola Farms will begin selling some produce in the upcoming weeks; first up are strawberries, which have started to bloom. Bobola Farms has been open since the late 1990s and Ms. Bobola said she never experienced anything like this. She hopes Mother’s Day can help bring back some normalcy but reminded that everything is limited. “It’s the longest we’ve ever been closed,” Ms. Bobola said. “You’ve got to get started somewhere, so we’re just going to do the best we can. I hope people will be patient. We’ll do everything we can to be as close to normal but there will be substitutions. I hope people understand this isn’t easy but we’ll work with them.” Florists are following all protocols recommend by the Centers for Disease Control to help limit the spread of COVID-19. This includes wiping down all vases, wearing gloves while handling flowers and disinfecting the store every night. It also includes contact-free delivery, where the driver will call the customer when the flowers are on the steps of their home. Mrs. Fries said Jen-Mor had to lay off part of its staff when the pandemic first began. She added it has been able to slowly bring back some of the staff. The loss of workers has made the busy weeks even more stressful. “It’s been exhausting,” Mrs. Fries said. “The few of us that are here are doing the work of more people. There’s only so much we can do with this staff so our inventory is smaller than usual.”... https://www.ourmidland.com/news/article/Sales-aren-t-blooming-Florists-adjust-during-15258683.php

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

Jaclyn Regan of Staten Island, New York is one such bride: Her New Jersey wedding was canceled six days before it was supposed to happen in March. The cancellation has been emotionally and financially difficult for Regan and her fiancé, Angelo Fallacaro: They lost around $3,000 and are left with now useless, date-specific decor, from champagne flutes to personalized T-shirts. The couple has rescheduled their big day – and Regan says that compared to how others are suffering right now, they know their problems are small. Visit Business Insider’s homepage for more stories. On March 14, one week before our wedding, a manager from the catering hall where we were about to be married called and asked how we felt about postponing. At the time, the threat of the coronavirus was still very new, so while the outbreak was on my mind, it really hadn’t been a major concern. We live in Staten Island, where at the time only one case had been confirmed. It was still too early to grasp just how devastating this virus was going to be. So we sat down with our families, talked over our options, and scheduled a meeting at our venue – South Gate ... https://www.businessinsider.sg/new-york-bride-postponed-wedding-due-to-coronavirus-2020-5

A floral designer is beautifying the streets of New York with elaborate displays for health care workers - CNN

Monday and wrapped flowers in various shades of pink around a lamp post that stood outside the hospital. People admired it as they walked by, but even more appreciated it on Miller's Instagram. "New Jersey hospital worker here and I appreciate your commitment to making the city a more beautiful place," one person commented on Miller's post, which has over 17,000 likes. Like the rest of their flower flashes, Miller and his team didn't ask for permission so they were told by hospital security to take it down just 30 minutes after finishing their masterpiece. But the team quickly pivoted their plan to convert the flowers into bud vases and loose flowers to give out to the nurses, doctors and other health care workers passing by. "So many people cried," Miller said. "I'm always amazed at the reaction people get when they get flowers. It's like the last thing on their mind right now. No one is going to buy themselves flowers so for them to just appear is kind of like a unicorn walking down the street." div class="el__embedded el__embedded--ful... https://www.cnn.com/2020/05/24/us/new-york-flower-flash-displays-lewis-miller-coronavirus-trnd/index.html
