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.

Florists reopen ahead of Mother’s Day, planting seed for non-essential businesses’ comeback - Boston Herald

Business is finally blooming for florists.Gov. Charlie Baker’s newly loosened restrictions on some small businesses arrives just in time for Mother’s Day.“We’ve had customers looking for flowers in general the entire time we were closed,” said Central Square Florist manager Jackie Levine who can now open up her Cambridge store. “We kept watching and hoping something would change.Change came Monday afternoon, when the Baker administration quietly updated its essential services guidance to allow a limited number of employees of florist shops and other businesses to reenter closed stores and warehouses to fulfill and ship orders taken over the phone and online.[embedded content]“It really is just an unbelievable feeling after so much negativity,” Levine said.Handling enormous demand for contactless deliveries for Mother’s Day, flower shop owners could lay the foundation for other non-essential businesses to come back from weeks of lockdown.Florists said calls, emails and online orders for bouquets flooded in immediately. https://www.bostonherald.com/2020/05/05/florists-reopen-ahead-of-mothers-day-planting-seed-for-non-essential-businesses-comeback/

Gov. Gavin Newsom, meanwhile, has announced that some businesses could reopen for curbside pickup by the end of the week, including clothing, book and sporting-good stores — and, yes, florists. Long Beach Mayor Robert Garcia also said plans for the initial local reopening process will likely come later this week.If Long Beach also allows florists to reopen, it’d prove to be good news for small local shops like Melinda McCoy’s Flowers.Arlene Winfrey making a Mother’s Day special arrangement at Melinda McCoy’s Flowers in Long Beach on Monday, May 4, 2020.

Pay it forward with these beautiful bouquets - WTVD-TV

Stella Grey Blooms in Chicago's North Center neighborhood is selling Pay It Forward flowers.Owner Sally Hayes said the inspiration for the idea came from a fellow florist who lives in Miami."You send somebody flowers and you don't say who it's from," Hayes said. You write things like 'I hope these make your day' or ' I hope they brighten your day' and at the end, you just say 'Pay it forward.'"All of the bouquets are sanitized and hand-delivered."A lot of times I get a call of people asking who sent me this," Hayes said. "I say 'I can't tell', it's the whole process of it, it gets people reaching out to their friends and it sort of escalates from that."For more information about the Pay It Forward bouquets, visit Stella Grey Blooms' website. https://abc11.com/localish/pay-it-forward-with-these-beautiful-bouquets/6135376/

With the right placement and little care, hydrangeas can make your Kentucky garden pop - Courier Journal

PG hydrangea, Hydrangea paniculata "Grandiflora." In the South, it was all about the big blue/pink mop heads, Hydrangea macrophylla. And then, of course, there was the one you bought at the florist on Mother’s Day.But the world of hydrangeas has come a long way since then.Let’s start off with the florist hydrangea. Bred to be the peacock of the hydrangea world, these come from generations of breeding with H. macrophylla (bigleaf hydrangea) genetics. They have been hybridized for years to produce a big, bold and bodacious display of color. They are dosed with growth regulators to keep them compact, and their production timing has been honed down to a science that would make a Swiss watchmaker proud. They’re just not garden plants.These show-offs haven’t been bred for landscape disease resistance, soil tolerance or anything else but obscenely large blooms and richly saturated colors. There’s nothing wrong with them at all. You shouldn’t feel the need to hide your Mother’s Day gift under your raincoat as you walk to the car for fear that some judgmental garden columnist will see you and call you out in public. But they are best thought of more as long-lived cut flowers than as garden plants.You may like: A life-long love for 'weird' plants means our columnist is extra excited about 'Sun King'Then there are the bigleaf hydrangeas that actually survive in the garden. These H. macrophylla selections — same species as the florist hydrangea — have actually been developed to live as garden plants. They have the sa... https://www.courier-journal.com/story/life/home-garden/2020/05/08/hydrangeas-give-your-kentucky-gardens-ample-variety-color/3047641001/
