Memorial Day Flowers 2012

We were honored to be a part of an amazing floral tribute in observance of Memorial Day 2012 at Camp Butler National Cemetary.

Rosaprima donated incredible roses--some of the biggest, strongest, most gorgeous roses we've ever laid eyes on--to national and local cemeteries all across the country.  At Arlington alone, 50,000 roses were given to visitors in honor of their loved ones.

Michelle, Sue, and Kynda

Some people had trouble believing these were gifts in honor of their loved ones.  But it's true, there was no charge and no request for donations--just the beauty and comfort of flowers to say thank you for visiting, thank you for remembering, thank you for your loved ones' service.

A special moment--Michelle left this rose for her grandfather.

We'd like to say thank you to Ramiro at Flowers for Kids, Rosaprima, to Delaware Valley, the wholesalers, to Camp Butler for making us so welcome, to FlowerChat, and to all the florists across the country who volunteered to distribute the beauty and comfort of flowers on this Memorial Day observance.

Happy Mother's Day

PrOm!

 Lavender & silver bracelet, bout, and ring, ready for ribbon and flowers.  Roses or orchids? 

 Pink & black!  Ready for  Petals & Co style ribbon treatment and  some lime green orchids :)

 This pair was inspired by the big bright colors of this season's prom dresses. 

Lots of curls and loops of silver diamond wire in this custom cuff and matching bout.

Or maybe you'd like one of the newest bracelets from Fitz Designs.  Lots of bling, beads, and color in bracelets that make great everyday jewelry long after  prom is over. 

Be sure to order early so you'll have the best selection of bracelet styles, ribbons, and flowers!

Tangerine Tango

As promised, a few more pictures from our Illinois State Florists' Association spring conference.  This beautiful table tied for first place in the tabletop competition and took the people's choice award.  Designed by Micheal Steakley of Hofmann Florist, Chicago. 

 

Tangerine Tango is Pantone's color of the year for 2012.  It's a great red-orange, vibrant and full of energy.  We'll see a lot of it this year in everything from flowers to clothing to home decor. 

 

Easy to see why this one took people's choice. From across the room, the color positively lit up the room.  And with a closer look, great details too.     We're looking forward to working with Tangerine Tango for prom and weddings and yes, even everyday flowers this year. 

Speaking of weddings--if you're looking for a florist for your wedding flowers, give Michelle a call at 217-498-8882 to schedule a consult.  

And prom--prom is six weeks from Saturday!  Wait til you see the new bracelets!
