Ige's reversal halts delivery of Mother's Day flowers - Honolulu Star-Advertiser
Monday, April 27, 2020Farinas 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
Tuesday, July 17, 2018Vintage 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/

Imlay Florist celebrates 180 years as a family owned business in local community - Y-City News
Sunday, February 28, 2021Dave Imlay, his wife, Katie Imlay and dedicated staff work to fulfill a large number of bouquets and arrangements.Originally started as a nursery in New Concord by William Smith Imlay in 1841, the New Jersey native slowly grew his business before relocating to Putnam Avenue and opening a greenhouse.William’s son, John Dillion Imlay, would get cut flowers out of his father’s greenhouse and peddle them downtown on his bicycle to sell.Eventually, the young entrepreneur was able to grow the business enough that he was able to rent a small space out of a drug store located at the corner of Market Street and North 5th Street where the Pollock Apartments stand today.John was then able to save up the money needed to purchase a one-room building along the same block of 5th Street to house his expanding business.In 1906, the structure was razed and replaced with the current three-story building that the flower shop still operates out of today.According to Katie, the Imlay family takes great pride in having served the community for so many generations.Her husband, Dave, worked alongside his parents from a very early age learning the interworkings of the business and except for a short stint away employed as a wholesaler for the industry, has worked at the flower shop his entire life.Katie added that Dave often tells fond memories of his childhood when he would go to the greenhouses, which were located where the South Zanesville Walmart is now, and spend time wi... https://ycitynews.com/20606/events/imlay-florist-celebrates-180-years-as-a-family-owned-business-in-local-community/
