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.

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

Meet your neighborhood florist, Urban Buds: City Grown Flowers - St. Louis Magazine
Sunday, July 05, 2020Karen “Mimo” Davis was a 31-year-old social worker, living in New York City, when her mother and stepfather asked her to look after their greenhouse in Missouri—and the property’s 132 rosebushes—while they honeymooned. “I fell in love with horticulture,” says Davis. Within the year, she left New York and bought a farm in Ashland, Missouri, where she began growing and selling flowers. (In 2008, Davis earned a master’s degree in horticulture.) In 2012, Davis and her then-partner (now wife), Miranda Duschack, got word of a greenhouse for sale in Dutchtown. Feeling adventurous, they bought the greenhouse—designed by Lord & Burnham in the ’50s—with an acre of land, eventually acquiring eight more plots that were once the site of Held’s Florist, a flower farm, dating back to the 1800s. Today, the farmstead is known as Urban Buds: City Grown Flowers, where more than 70 varieties of flowers are grown. “We’re in the heart of the city,” says Davis. “Few people get to connect with farming, and [our shop] gives them the opportunity.”
