How a Milwaukee florist knew Giannis Antetokounmpo would likely sign his supermax contract with the Bucks before the rest of the world - Milwaukee Journal Sentinel
Sunday, January 17, 2021Milwaukee and the Bucks: What it means for everyoneWhen an event planner asked her shop for two table centerpieces for an "intimate dinner," one Greek-themed and one incorporating deer antlers, Neubauer had a realization."There was a little nod, and we knew between us that a celebration hopefully was coming," she said.The dinner was held Dec. 10, Neubauer said, and she wasn't exactly sure how it was playing into the ongoing contract negotiations.In a look at the negotiation process, The Athletic reports the Bucks held a "positive and intimate dinner" on Dec. 10 with Giannis, the coaching staff and key players such as Khris Middleton, Brook Lopez and Pat Connaughton to "discuss the future and build camaraderie entering the new season."But even after the dinner, a deal wasn't in place, The Athletic reports.When Neubauer saw Giannis' tweet Tuesday that he'd signed the deal, she knew all had gone well."Yes! We've got him," Neubauer thought upon seeing the news. "He's going to stay here and promote our city in a really positive way."The event planner said Greek and Milwaukee-favorite foods would be served, and Neubauer drew inspiration from that.The Greek-themed arrangement featured olive branches and lemons, and the other arrangement was mostly white flowers in a big, shallow, antler-shaped bowl.So how long did Neubauer have to keep the big news to herself? She said she's only allowed to say "several days.""It was cute to be involved and know something that I couldn't tell," she said."Everybody wanted to know, and I still couldn't tell."Giannis An... https://www.jsonline.com/story/news/local/2020/12/16/milwaukee-florist-had-inside-scoop-giannis-antetokounmpos-contract/3916678001/

Wedding Flower Roundup: Keep up with what's fresh on Vail's floral scene
Tuesday, July 17, 2018Jewish 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/

Add Christian rap and poor country girl to Anna Konkle’s character and you’ll understand the allure of my younger self.My backstory does not resemble a ladder, a straight path, or a ‘get your degree and enter the job market’ sitch.
