Whether you’re seeking the charm of a historic venue or the class (and convenience!) of a hotel wedding, the listings below…Choose a color scheme and plan around itDecorations, bridesmaids dresses and floral arrangements will have to be decided on soon, but once you choose a color scheme, a lot of little details will fall into place. There are endless color combinations to choose from, and the palette you pick will ultimately come down to the venue, the time of year and the bride and groom’s personal preferences and personalities.A vibrant summer wedding on the beach, for example, might pair well with a marigold and white palette, while a winter wedding with oceanfront views could be complemented by a forest green and dusty light blue color scheme. Choosing the colors of a wedding takes vision and creativity, and a lot of times, it’s one of the most fun parts of wedding planning.

The evolution of Zazzy'z from florist to coffee house - Southwest Virginia Today
Wednesday, January 03, 2018Virginia and Tennessee. For a few years after marrying his wife, Betsy, White lived at Virginia Beach, Virginia, where he served as a school teacher at Kempsville and Bayside. Then, starting in 1978, White became a dentist in Abingdon for 27 years and boasted thousands of patients.Today, this Abingdon resident occasionally still answers to “Zazzy.”In fact, that nickname showed up on signs when White opened a store in Abingdon after retiring from dentistry in 2005.White owns Zazzy’z. It’s a coffeehouse located in what was also once primarily a bookstore in what was also once White’s dental offices in the early 2000s.Before that, this circa-1880s home was a florist. Oh, yes — it was also a dress shop. “And somebody told me there was a restaurant here one time,” White said. “I don’t ever remember it. If it was, it wasn’t open long.”These days, it’s common to find patrons getting a caffeine fix inside this handsome structure, located at 380 E. Main St.For a few years after opening, White seriously dabbled in book selling. Zazzy’z hosted signings and readings. But, White said, “The book business is a hard business.”Barely, the book business survived the Great Recession. But, over time, the bookshelves at Zazzy’z grew less crowded. Competition from online sellers like Amazon plus Bristol’s Books-a-Million location, in turn, prompted White to downsize his space for books.Today, he sells a few local titles, largely on consignment.Mostly, though, books are a side item. “And, you know,... http://www.swvatoday.com/news/article_c35fc501-5939-5b2b-9c12-59d1f802ef45.html

A devoted florist gives each 9/11 victim a white birthday rose - Anchorage Daily News
Wednesday, December 02, 2020NEW YORK — Every Sept. 11, Michael Collarone, a Brooklyn-bred florist who goes by Mikey Flowers, has the same routine. In the hours before 8:46 a.m., the time the first plane struck the World Trade Center 19 years ago, he parks his truck in downtown Manhattan and, bearing buckets of angelic white roses, walks to the site where he once helped scour for victims' remains in the twin towers' smoldering wreckage. There, the burly 62-year-old meets up with “my guys” from the Port Authority police. This year, he will be wearing a mask for the first time and, for social distancing reasons, the victims' names will be played from recordings on a loudspeaker rather than read aloud from a stage, but little else will change for him. “I’m going to hug my friends,” he says. “I’m going to hug my guys.” Collarone’s steadfast devotion to honoring the victims of 9/11 isn’t a once-a-year kind of thing, though. He’s been the de facto volunteer florist to Ground Zero since it was known around the city... https://www.adn.com/nation-world/2020/09/10/a-devoted-florist-gives-each-911-victim-a-white-birthday-rose/

Philly florists bring beauty back to voting with public installations across the region - The Philadelphia Inquirer
Wednesday, October 28, 2020What they do have are flowers — a lot of them. So to highlight the beauty of voting and nip the negativity in the bud, they’ve teamed up with 15 other florists across the Philadelphia region, New York, and New Jersey for United by Blooms, a nonpartisan outdoor floral installation event from Oct. 14-16 aimed at promoting voting. “By incorporating it with flowers, we bring back a positive connotation to the actual process of voting,” Lam said. #right-rail .newsletter-card,.newsletter-card.hidden-desktop{display:none} Inquirer Morning Newsletter Get the news you need to start your day United by Blooms is the brainchild of farmer-florist Kate Carpenter, co-owner of EMA (East Mount Airy) Blooms. Participating florists and growers, who donated their time and flowers to the project, were asked to provide a positive public experience while raising awareness about voting. Designers were encouraged to put their installations near mailboxes or ballot drop boxes (but not on them), to highlight voting by mail and the necessity of the U.S. Postal Service, which has faced its share of heavy criticism this year, too. “It’s an opportunity to thank the postal workers, who are essential workers, and to get the community engaged about participating in our democracy,” said Carpenter, 35. “Plus, it gives growers and designers the chance to take their talents to the streets of Philadelphia and give people something to enjoy right now.” Carpenter’s design, which she created with her business partner, Courtney Jewell, was inspired, in part, by the rainbows that people placed in their windows for children’s scavenger hunts during the height of quarantine. Several rainbow-colored chalk paths lead to the installation at Green Street and Carpenter Lane in Mount Airy, where flowers crawl up a stop sign and flow out from underneath the mailbox nearby. A QR code at the site takes visitors to a map with the locations of the oth... https://www.inquirer.com/news/united-by-blooms-art-flowers-philadelphia-voting-20201015.html
New York City's ‘Flower Flash’ Florist Designs a Display for Ralph Lauren - Architectural Digest
Wednesday, October 28, 2020The whole idea of the flower flash is to give back, to give joy,” explains Lewis, who has created eye-popping arrangements for New York’s most revered cultural institutions (including MoMA, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the New York Public Library, and the Whitney) as well as a who’s who of fashion and media brands (Vogue, HBO, and Netflix). “We live in a crazy world and we’re a little bit starved for joy—if we can have a feel-good moment, that’s really important right now.”On October 23, his second installation will bloom outside Macy’s Herald Square. And in an engaging twist, the art is meant to be touched. Shoppers will be encouraged to pluck flowers to take home, part of an effort to spread love (and the #pinkpony hashtag) around the city.“It’s a gift to New York—take a picture or take a blossom,” Lewis says, emphasizing that the temporary nature of his flashes is what makes them so powerful: “You go from this larger-than-life still life to a scattering of leaves on the ground—that’s the life it was meant to live. There’s a strange beauty in the disarray as well.”Another Miller creation outside of a subw... https://www.architecturaldigest.com/story/ralph-lauren-flower-flash
