Prom Time

Petals & Co is ready for Prom!   Check out our great flower bracelets--pearls, beads, rhinestones, or bright flexible wire . . .

 Ribbons in every hue.  One of the new trends this year is animal print with a color twist. . .

Choose from our Fitz Design bracelets or one-of-a-kind handmade by Petals & Co.  Either way, you'll have a beautiful bracelet to wear and enjoy long after prom is over.

Call us (217-498-8882) or stop by soon.  We can also help you with other flower jewelry options--rings, armbands, flower tatoos, maybe an orchid for your updo.    And don't forget the bout!

Panther Creek Wedding Show

 Panther Creek, one of our very favorite venues, was the site of a wedding show this past weekend.  We were delighted to provide floral finery for the tables!

Red roses with a touch of leopard

Submersible LEDs and fun gel beads  add  a punch of color and light to these cocktail table centers

Chocolate cymbidiums under a lighted shade

Pink hydrangea with floating roses & wire accents

Walking stick branches with white dendro orchids, agapanthus, accented with green apples

We couldn't decide which table center we liked best.  Let us know if you have a favorite!

Jeff & Marybeth

We had a great time dressing up Erin's Pavilion with floral finery for Jeff & Marybeth's  reception.  It's a beautiful venue, and we loved seeing the beautiful video display of photos from their romantic wedding in Mexico.  Congratulations and best wishes from Petals & Co!

We're Thinking PrOm!

We had lots of fun at a recent class learning about new flower jewelry options.  Prom Shop Open House will be  Monday night, April 18th.

Rockin' Wedding Show

The 2011 Illinois State Florists' Conference theme was Let It Rock!  We had a grand time with hundreds of luscious flower varieties, inspiring designers from across the country, and great vendors who brought in their newest products. . . All so that we can bring the freshest flowers and best designs to you--our Petals & Co. flower family!

Michelle & Gail listening to J.  Purple statice & lily grass bouquet

These pictures are from J Schwanke's Rockin' Weddings show on Friday night.  We think J rocks!

Amnesia roses and dove gray plumosa

This calla bouquet features the new wired wool that is one of the latest trends in the flower industry.  It's actually a goat's wool and is extremely soft--it feels like cashmere!  Comes in lots of colors too.

 Green is very popular these days--this bouquet includes  feathery painted tree fern in apple green, hydrangea, hypericum, kermit mums, and yes--even green roses. 

Another arm bouquet that's very dramatic with mokara orchids and protea.  There's some of the new wool again--this time in a soft caramel brown.

Honeysuckle pink is the color of the year for 2011.  Here at Petals & Co, we love PiNk!

Okay, that's our report from the wedding show.  What do you think?

Are You Ready for Some Flowers??

Valentine's Day!  One of the biggest flower holidays, and  florists everywhere are busy busy busy answering phones, ordering last minute flowers (more  pink roses, please!), and putting together beautiful bouquets that will light up a sweetheart's face.

So many beautiful flowers from all over the world. .  .  The supply of flowers has been tight lately because of weather conditions in California and South America, but we're sooo pleased with the quality of these flower shipments.  They're gorgeous!

It's not too late to order.  And be sure to include some of those great Pease's chocolates too :) We'll be open Saturday 9-4 and Sunday 10-2.  Stop by or give us a call!
