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/

New owner excited about her flower shop - The Killeen Daily Herald

Everything is coming up roses and tulips and carnations and dozens of other flowers for Rosalyn Caldwell, 44, the new owner of Sharon’s Flower Shop.“Sometimes I still can’t believe it, I own a flower shop,” said Caldwell on Presidents Day. The shop was closed but she was busy restocking shelves and making more arrangements after the hectic Valentine’s Day.Caldwell started as a part-time cashier almost four years ago helping the previous owner, Kim Arnold. She originally opened the shop in Copperas Cove then relocated to Killeen in 2007.“Everything I’ve learned about flowers has been from working here,” said Caldwell, who bought the shop in July.The ownership transition was virtually seamless with few challenges for her to overcome.“I treat everybody with respect, and in any kind of business, that does more for you than the color of your skin,” she said. “People see my character and the quality of my work.”Months before Caldwell bought the shop, she told customers that she was thinking of taking it over.“I was nervous about having them accept me as the new florist, but everyone ha... http://kdhnews.com/news/local/new-owner-excited-about-her-flower-shop/article_d3ec6a42-fd70-11e6-a966-6b62a35e0903.html

Sunflower selfie craze is center of Springfield festival - Burlington County Times

Johnson's Locust Hall Farm's Sunflower September Festival next week. A new end-of-summer sunflower experience has officially kicked off in the region.Thousands of people from across New Jersey are converging on area family farms, frolicking in fields of blooming sunflowers, snapping Instagram selfies and other photos and clipping a few blooming flowers to take home.Johnson’s Locust Hall Farm in Springfield picked up on the sunflower craze last year and is now expanding its Sunflower September Festival, which begins Sept. 7 and will offer a “photo trail” and “pick-your-own” experience throughout the month.“The sunflower craze is here again and in a big way,” said Allie Johnson, the farm’s events coordinator.She said the farm has always lined its 1,500-foot driveway with blooms, but “it wasn’t until two years ago that we noticed our customers calling and stopping in to see our sunflowers. So that very next season we thought why not turn our little driveway patch into a five-acre field and really put on a show.”Johnson's Locust Hall Farm is located at 2691 Monmouth Road.

F.C. Florist Sends Bouquets to Congresswomen Targeted by Trump - Falls Church News Press

Born in the Soviet Union-controlled Uzbekistan, Rabinovich and her family traversed through multiple countries before finally getting clearance to come to the U.S. She would grow up in the New Jersey/New York area, earning her citizenship by the time she was 16 and would later go on to get her degree in visual merchandising and interior design. AdvertisementsHer first job was working in a flower shop, an occupation that was always seen as a fallback for Rabinovich whenever she was in between gigs. She later realized she enjoyed working in flower shops more than any other job and started her own business out of her apartment in Arlington. Rabinovich wound up purchasing Galleria Florist in July 2015 when searching for a production space to operate out of, and last December she became an owner of Nosegay Flowers in Washington, D.C. — a former employer of hers.She re-emphasized that the flowers were merely a show of goodwill, but did add a general message to all Americans that, “The U.S. is a melting pot. It stands for inclusivity, not exclusivity. That’s what’s going to keep us going; diversity and the knowledge our immigrants bring to the country.”Share this:Comments comments... https://fcnp.com/2019/07/31/f-c-florist-sends-bouquets-to-congresswomen-targeted-by-trump/
