Katie Byard   For the Beacon JournalMushrooms, blueberry vines and even small not-yet-ripe tomatoes have ended up in Akron florist Matthew Caleb Moore’s designs.Now he’s arranging for his flower/gift shop — Leaf Home and Blooms — to bloom in a much bigger space, and hopefully, he says, help to revitalize the stretch of West Market Street in West Hill.“There is a lot of potential here,” Moore said, noting the more developed Highland Square commercial strip just a little west on West Market.Leaf, previously called Every Blooming Thing, will move in early November to 449 W. Market St. in the site of the former longtime Stagecoach Antiques store.For now, while that space is being renovated, Leaf is operating out of the bottom of a house tucked behind the onetime antiques shop. Leaf moved to West Market from 1079 W. Exchange St., a little more than a mile away, late last year. Akron Mayor Dan Horrigan plans to attend a ribbon-cutting ceremony in the new location Nov. 10.“W... https://www.beaconjournal.com/story/news/local/2020/09/30/leaf-flower-gift-shop-helps-revitalize-west-hill-akron/3561752001/

Coco Shop Designer Taylor Simmons Wore Floral Oscar de la Renta for Her Outdoor Ceremony Overlooking the Ocean - Vogue

CDC recommendations to ensure safety and reduce the risk of contracting and transmitting COVID-19.Taylor Simmons and Jameson McFadden actually met at Acme—the famed cocktail bar in downtown New York that has served as the location for so many romances and rendezvous that it spawned an Instagram account and subsequent podcast focused on millennial dating. It was late September of 2017 and Taylor was with an old friend from Antigua, a place she grew up visiting often as both her parents and grandparents had homes there. (Her parents live on the island now for part of the year.) She now runs Coco Shop, a clothing brand that was founded in 1949 and had a 60-year run on the island, making and selling printed cotton clothing. Taylor relaunched the company in 2019, and it’s quickly taken off. Coincidentally, Jameson was at Acme with someone Taylor and her friend had grown up with on the island. “This makes Antigua sound big,” Taylor jokes. “But our community is tiny!” While their friends were catching up, Jameson, who works in finance, introduced himself, and after a few minutes, asked if Taylor would have dinner with him. “He asked one or two more times, and eventually, I agreed, and we went out to dinner a few days later,” she remembers.The two started dating and then eventually Jameson proposed on a quiet street in Rome on the last night of a long weekend road trip through Puglia. “We had spent five days exploring Puglia from Polignano a Mare to Gagliano del Capo and then gone ba... https://www.vogue.com/slideshow/taylor-simmons-jameson-mcfadden-cape-cod-wedding

Nanan creates flower arrangements to last a lifetime - Korea JoongAng Daily

The enthusiastic response was even beyond my expectation.   Nanan's window painting on display in Lower East Side, New York in 2007.   The major popularity of “Long Long Time Flower” could lead to plagiarism. Are you concerned about that?   I’ve already seen copycats! My Instagram followers keep me informed of such cases. As I learned from the painful experience with my window paintings before, I have already obtained a patent for my “Long Long Time Flower” including its concept and its title. I politely warned the copycats and then they withdrew their works.   After my window paintings earned popularity, some people began to draw on windows in a very similar style and with a simi... https://koreajoongangdaily.joins.com/2021/03/31/culture/artsDesign/Nanan-Nanan-Kang-Long-Long-Time-Flower/20210331162800400.html

Florist brightens her city with gorgeous floral installations - Aleteia EN

With major events being canceled, a lot of work and profit has dried up. However, one Pittsburgh florist, Anne Dickson, has decided to put her skills and time to good use.Inspired by fellow florist, New Yorker Louis Miller, who’s been creating some stunning “flower flashes” to brighten up New York City, Dickson decided she wanted to spread some floral joy in her own community, according to the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.She started by sharing her gratitude with health workers for all their hard work. So the owner of Fox and the Fleur florists went along to Shadyside’s Family House, where patients and their families can stay together. She brought some bright blooms to decorate the facade of the house with an impressive installation. She also tagged her work “F&F [Heart] Pittsburgh #flower power” in chalk on the sidewalk in front of the home, and added it to her Instagram account to spread a little more joy.From there Dickson created more impressive pop-up displays: from brightening up a light pole to creating an impressive display in a recycling can. While the impressive creations take a lot of hard work, the florist is thankful to  one of her suppliers, B W Wholesales, for passing on flowers to her that would otherwise been thrown out.While the blooms might not last long, and Dickson makes sure they’re taken down once... https://aleteia.org/2021/03/24/florist-brightens-her-city-with-gorgeous-floral-installations/
