Love in Bloom | Valentine's Day coming up roses for local florists - Texarkana Gazette

Photo by Kelsi Brinkmeyer/Texarkana Gazette.At Persnickety Too, located at 3412 Richmond Road, owner Carrie Atkinson says their most popular seller is WOW dozen roses with premium stems like lilies and hydrangeas interspersed to make a stunning combination."We are also quite fond of adding curly willow, which is a curly stick that adds to that wow factor," Atkinson said.For Valentine's Day, roses top the list, she said."I would say what we do the most of is, of course, roses and then designer's choice. They say, 'make it and I'll come get it.' That's what we are known for," Atkinson said. "We also do a lot of walks ins and day of's."Persnickety Too is teaming up with a local catering shop this year to offer a dozen cake balls or a dozen chocolate covered strawberries. There are also add-on items including greeting cards, plush animals, bath items and gift sets.The shop's staff is delivering flowers all week long, but Atkinson believes most ladies will want their deliveries on Friday because they want other ladies to see it.She said tradition holds that if Valentine's falls on a weekend, things are not as busy. However, she says with the pandemic, many people are staying in town and she is not expecting a decrease in business.Persnickety Too will be open Sunday as well, with Atkinson predicting a lot of walk-in customers this weekend.However, she says ordering earlier is always better."This is our marathon. We were made for this," Atkinson said of the Valentine's Day demand.The Village Floral & Gifts, located at 997 N. Kings Highway, also plans to be open on Sunday for the last-minute shoppers, but owner Peggy Speer advises the earlier one shops, the better the selection.Speer said all florists had to make their orders weeks ahead of Valentine's Day and while red roses are the classic choice for Valentine's Day, she also ordered captivating colors like cherry brandy (sunset colors) and quick sand roses (sandy cream-colored roses with berry or pink accents) as well as orange, mauve and purple roses.Women usually prepare better for Valentine's Day when it comes to gift giving, and The Village offers several choices for him."We have more masculine things that guys might think are funny. We have candy in a camouflage box and Razorback crunch candy as well as coffee mugs and coffees," Speer said."We are always trying to think outside of the box here and do things no one has ever done. We like to do the different out here," she said.They also have items for teenagers like chocolate-covered potato chips, graham crackers or Rice Krispies treats."We have some things called chocolate covered cherry bombs and they are tart, bing cherries covered in chocolate in a red coating and look like a cinnamon jawbreaker," Speer said.Cherry blossoms, which are like turtle chocolate-covered caramel with t... https://www.texarkanagazette.com/news/texarkana/story/2021/feb/10/love-bloom-valentines-day-coming-roses-local-florists/859541/

Weddings of the Year: Four couples wed during the pandemic - BethesdaMagazine.com

Carly’s parents’ backyard in Potomac. Kevin and Carly began wedding planning before the pandemic. They hoped to invite 250 to 300 guests to stay at the Salamander Resort & Spa in Middleburg, Virginia, for a weekend. But as the public health situation worsened, they held off on finalizing anything. In May, Carly’s company encouraged staff to take time off, so she and Kevin drove across the country to spend a month in Maryland. While here, they decided they wanted to get married and move to Maryland, so they extended their stay. Kevin’s family rented an RV to come from California for the wedding, which included 26 guests.Photo by Michael Bennett KressThe ceremony: Carly is Jewish, and Kevin is not religious. For the ceremony, “we wanted to keep some of the traditions but make sure they were explained and felt meaningful to us,” Carly says. Her rabbi officiated the wedding, and the couple wrote their own vows. The two wed beneath a chuppah, a canopy used in Jewish weddings. The chuppah was wooden and covered in string lights, leaves and white and purple flowers. The cloth for the chuppah was Carly’s grandfather’s tallit (Jewish prayer shawl). In Jewish weddings, it is traditional for a rabbi to say a blessing before the bride and groom drink wine from a Kiddush cup. Their parents each poured wine into a Kiddush cup that Carly and Kevin drank from—“to show the extensions of traditions and family,” Carly says.p... https://bethesdamagazine.com/bethesda-magazine/january-february-2021/weddings-of-the-year-4/
