Finding a florist — and the right flowers — for your North Fork wedding - Northforker

Charles Sherman. “It’s part of the whole experience.” Even florists from the Hamptons frequent the other fork’s farms. “When I say I have my own flower farm, brides get very excited,” said Anastasia Casale of Sag Harbor Florist (3 Bay Street, Sag Harbor, 631-725-1400) who happened to marry the owner of Pierpont Blossom Farm in Baiting Hollow years ago. “We have about 30,000 dahlia plants in the ground. The wedding arch is very common, and we can do 75% greenery. We’ll do different textural eucalyptuses and honeysuckle vines from the farm.”Clarke’s Garden & Home (416 Main St, Greenport, 631-477-6770) works with four local flower farms, focusing on the unique. “I’m interested in flowers and greens that might not be really popular but are very unique,” says co-owner Peter Clarke, who often hears “Where’d you find that?” from clients and customers. “Most brides are really looking for unique, eclectic assortments that are more natural and garden-style, which is a good fit for us ,as a lot of our style is rooted in the garden.” Clarke credits California with the North Fork’s natural wedding style with wooden tables, burlap and linen. “It’s a take on the California farm girl with an East Coast flair,” he said. “Which makes sense as we’re both farming and wine regions.”Even flowers follow trends, with formal wedding white sometimes ceding to more colorful mixes a la fashion. “Pantone’s color of the year for 2019 is Living Coral, so I expect coral to be incorporated into florals this year,” said Aquebogue-based florist Kim Jackson Reeves, who managed florist Ariella Chezar’s shop in New York City before starting her own business in 2014 (Kim Jackson Reeves Design, 516-993-4316). “Yellow is having a moment, which is a color I happen to have loved since getting into floral design.” Kim Jackson Reeves expects yellow to continue to be a major color moving forward. (Credit: Kim Jackson Reeves)In fact, yellow sunflowers do pop their sunny heads into more casual local weddings, as they are such a symbol of the rustic North Fork. That might be true, but not for everyone. “I’m always trying to put color into weddings but I’m not always successful,” laughs Clarke. “People still want white, green and blush, but they love the gray-green of eucalyptus and thistle/eucalyptus mixes.”Other trends include more elaborate floral installations, such as green vines dripping from the ceiling, a floral meadow running down the ceremony aisle, floral chandeliers or a floral entryway for the reception. “These are usually higher-ticket items, but the impression they make on you and your guests is worth it,” said Reeves. To stay within budget, she suggests choosing one or two impact items and opting for more minimal table centerpieces.Most brides are really looking for unique, eclectic assortments that are more natural and garden-style, which is a good fit for us ,as a lot of our style is rooted in the garden.Peter ClarkeJenny Marchese of Wildflower Floral Events (631-655 3117) has been doing weddings on both forks for more than 25 years and is thrilled at the wedding boom of the past decade.

The Emmaus High School grad went to barber school at night for 15 months, then worked at a downtown Lancaster barber shop before breaking out on his own, he said.“I chose barbering because it’s honest work and it’s rewarding work,” Storck said. “The people you meet along the way stick with you ... they become family and friends.”Storck wants clients to feel welcome and comfortable, relaxing in a chair as they receive a clean tailored haircut. Top-notch customer service is key, he said.Storck said he chose Easton for the venture because he’s seen its rebirth from a ghost town to a thriving restaurant and retail mecca.

Flower shops spring back to life ahead of Mother’s Day after state lifts restrictions - The Boston Globe

Florist Tiffany Day shopped for flowers for her shop Petals By The Day in Westwood at the New England Exchange in Chelsea on Thursday.David L. Ryan/Globe StaffPat Riccardi spent his teens walking the streets of Somerville in the 1970s, peddling bouquets to make an extra buck as a high school and college student. But it took his father asking him to help out during the Valentine’s Day grind of 1980 to fully ensnare him in the family flower business. Forty years later, he and his brother own it.Yet the coronavirus brought Riccardi Wholesale Flowers to its knees when customers called en masse to cancel wedding and Easter orders. The busiest time of the year withered away.“All the orders that were supposed to go out from March 23rd onward, which would have been church and wedding work, just sat in our refrigerator for us to eat. If we couldn’t donate it, we threw it away,” said Riccardi, pained just thinking about the discarded blooms.AdvertisementBut a tired proverb proved true: April sho... https://www.bostonglobe.com/2020/05/07/nation/after-months-empty-shelves-closed-shops-florists-spring-back-life-ahead-mothers-day-surge/

Oxford florist asks: "If Marks & Spencer sell flowers why can't I?" - Oxford Mail

A FRUSTRATED florist has hit out after he was told he wasn't allowed to reopen his shop - even though supermarkets are selling flowers and plants. Gary Cooper, who owns Fabulous Flowers on Banbury Road in Oxford, had been hoping to reopen on Wednesday after the Government said garden centres could open again. He planned to allow customers to buy flowers from outside his store even bought a contactless card machine to help make business safer. But after checking with Oxfordshire County Council Trading Standards, he was told his flower shop had to remain closed.

10 Florists Delivering Vibrant Bouquets for Mother’s Day - The New York Times

Manhattan-based floral designer Emily Thompson, who hopes to reopen soon.Some florists who aren’t able to deliver bouquets this month have found alternative ways to spread beauty: the Brooklyn-based designer Ariel Dearie is selling photographs of her elegant arrangements of ranunculus flowers, allium stems and philodendron leaves (profits from the sale of her “Carondelet” print will be donated to Covid-19 relief), while Brittany Asch, of the Manhattan studio Brrch, is sculpting “virtual bouquets” by adorning photographs of people’s homes with gifs of unfurling taffy-pink lotus flowers, spinning roses and Technicolor hibiscuses. For those designers who are still able to make deliveries, creating arrangements has become an exercise in using whatever blooms they can find — tulips from local growers, roses from their gardens, even weeds from nearby hillsides. The results are a reminder that more spontaneous arrangements can feel a bit closer to nature, and that even the humblest blooms have the power to move us. Here, 10 florists from around the country who, despite sourcing challenges, are delivering joyful, unexpected arrangements within their areas in time for May 10.
