FLORAL DESIGN: Hobby turns passion turns business for Morgan Moylan - Durham Herald Sun

Moylan says.From her studio, Moylan shares knowledge and wisdom and technique to properly arranging and designing flowers.The UNC-Chapel Hill alumna and well-traveled connoisseur of all things flowers also recognizes that through her love of floral design there are aspects beyond teaching that carry over to others, too.“I also incorporate team building through floral design. I’ll have men and women come here and we talk about how arranging flowers or decorating with flowers incorporates with team building and capitalizing on one’s strengths,” says Moylan.And where floral design and presentation are cornerstones to events and settings, especially weddings, Moylan allows the resource of her knowledge and her shop to also serve as a special resource for brides, too.“One of the things I do and it has to be the right bride, is I will have the bride and her wedding party come and be part of the floral creating and design process. I actually help the bride orchestrate her bouquet. It is a really special process and the brides that have done this at the shop really appreciate the intimate aspect of being involved in this very pretty detail,” says Moylan.And while the details of how lavender and pink and green and all things floral are important, Moylan says that the power of flowers can be something beyond the visual, too.“Because of an experience I had with flowers, specifically those planted by the (N.C. Department of Transportation) through their wildflower program, I actually was invited to be a keynote speaker at a DOT event.“My kids were being typical kids in the car and I just needed a moment. When I pulled off the road, there were flowers, planted by the DOT and I just stood in this flower patch and really the moment was quite calming,” says Moylan.From her studio, Moylan teaches the techniques and finer aspects of floral design. Yet, she also shares her talents and passion in floral arrangement for events, too.“One of my favorite floral design events is when I am asked by an artist to arrange flowers that compliment or brings out the purpose of their respective artwork. It is really an honor that someone trusts me to interpret their art through flowers,” Moylan says.EDITOR’S NOTES -- Have a story idea for Jason Hawkins?

Tallahassee's florist to the Legislature - Florida Politics

Elinor Doyle.Just to be clear, there was an Elinor Doyle, who started the business in 1926, but she has been dead for nearly half a century. Her picture, however, hangs in the Tennessee Street storefront, keeping watch over owner Roxie Anne Clark and Liz Santini (who has worked there for 23 years) who will be preparing hundreds of arrangements before the Session starts Tuesday.A deluge of work after a busy Christmas season because of the even-year early Session isn’t a particularly unique challenge, Clark said.“We are coming out of the holiday season, but it’s not necessarily any worse than having it a little after Valentine’s Day, so it’s kind of the same thing,” she commented.Valentine’s Day is the No. 1 busiest day of their year, but at Elinor Doyle Florist, the start of Session is definitely No. 2. The team will work long hours over the weekend before Session begins to assure their flowers arrive in peak form. They’ll start with dish gardens, which will get a colorful addition of red mini carnations and white cushion mums right before delivery Monday. (An aside to the aides: Those gardens will last throughout Session if they’re watered weekly and kept in a not-too-sunny spot.)Florida’s chiropractors will again be gifting each member of the House and Senate with sunflowers. Orchids are on hand, a favorite gift from lobbyist Ron Book, who always sends a large basket of the tropical blooms to his daughter, Sen. Lauren Book.

Abloom Florist donates flowers to Shannondale Healthcare Center - The knoxville focus

Roy and Hazel Drinnen have owned the business since 1983. Hazel works in the shop and Roy runs daily errands to the post office.“We wanted to be a florist who brought something a little bit different,” Storm said. “There are a lot of florists in Knoxville and we’ve always prided ourselves on our customer service.“My parents pretty much bought the business and I went to work in it. We’ve prided ourselves on being a little bit different.”Storm also said that her work brings her plenty of rewards.“This is very rewarding to me because everybody likes to get flowers,” she said. “Even with funerals, the people are always pleased because we help them do what they want to remember their loved one.”... http://knoxfocus.com/archives/this-weeks-focus/abloom-florist-donates-flowers-shannondale-healthcare-center/
