Valentine's Day

What says "I love you" more expressively than a handmade gift? Well...nothing, really.

Okay, so Hallmark does have some really good cards that, if you have a few minutes to an hour, will sum up your feelings for your Valentine better than you might be able to express in your own words.

So, if you do not wish to forgo the Hallmark card, we understand.

Why not sweep her off her feet with the Hallmark card, and a beautiful handmade silk floral arrangement?

No worries, you will not have to create this arrangement. We will do all the work!

Stop by the shop to see what will sweep your sweetheart off her feet this Valentine's day!

Cannot decide on something? Send us an e-mail, we will gladly help you pick out something for that special person.

If you still cannot decide from our current floral line, remember, we can create a custom arrangement for your special someone.

Please have your Valentine's orders in by February 7th, 2008 to ensure their arrival by the 14th. All custom orders must be in by February 3rd to ensure their arrival by the 14th.

Do not forget to toss a few candles in your cart to add that special romantic glow to your Valentine's evening.

2008 Trend in Wedding Bouquets

Every year a few flowers rise above all other flowers that are requested for wedding bouquets. Also, every year there are options that brides must make on whether or not they want fresh or silk flowers.

We are happy to announce that in 2008 silk floral bouquets are gaining in popularity. Many brides are recognizing the advantages of using silk for their bridal bouquets.

The main advantage of using silk floral arrangements and bouquets is silk will not wilt. If one is having a late summer wedding, or an early spring wedding, when weather temperatures are not ideal for fresh flowers, silk could be a great option so that one can capture beautiful outdoor photos without worrying about the flowers wilting from the cold or heat.

Silk also gives one the advantage of keeping the bouquet as a keepsake without having to spend a dime on preserving it.

Aside from silk floral bouquets becoming a popular selection for brides in 2008, we are seeing the rose hold it's popularity for the wedding bouquet, as well as, the reception centerpieces. Calla lilies and gerbera daisies are second in popularity. With the vibrant and cheerful colors of the gerbera daisies, and the romantic curves of the calla lily, one can see why they would be a popular choice among brides today.

Only a Week and a Half...

...Left in January.

What does that mean?

We are one month closer to spring! Welcome it with a new spring floral.

It also means that our January candle of the month, Aromatherapy scent Relaxation, will be taking a back seat to the new February scent of the month.

What does that mean?

In the next week and a half, it will be your last chance to take advantage of the free Aromatherapy Relaxation 2 oz votive candle offer that you can recieve with any candle order.

Next month, you will recieve the new scent of the month in a 2 oz round votive candle.

Until then, take advantage of the deal!!

2008 Wedding Color Trends

The color trends for 2008 weddings are stemming from our ever growing desire to "go green".

Many brides are opting for more green shades this year. From pale greens, to earthy greens, to deep dark greens, you will find something for everyone, well for everyone who likes green!

In addition to the many shades of green, we are stepping away from the chocolate brown, yet not going back to black. Instead 2008 will embrace steel grey as the new black, or chocolate brown.

We will see more bridesmaids dresses in steel grey, but we will also see this shimmering shade of grey used in accents from floral arrangements to bouquets to the wedding invitations. Steel grey will be woven into the weddings of 2008.

As we move away from chocolate brown and the bright, vibrant colors of last year, we will move toward more traditional colors. White is becoming the main color this year! We will see a lot of white candles, soft white linens, white flower arrangements, bouquets, dresses, and lights.

Some weddings will embrace an all white decor, perhaps with a hint of steel grey or a lovely shade of pale green.

Keep your eyes open for lots of white, lots of beautiful shades of green, and steel grey for the 2008 wedding.

Setting the Mood for Valentine's Day

If you are among one of us who will be celebrating Valentine's Day with your sweetheart, then you probably will be looking for ideas on how to set the mood.

Let's say that you are planning a romantic evening at home with your special someone. You will most likely start the evening off with a nice dinner, followed by a scrumptious dessert.

If that is the plan, then let us help you set the table to prepare you for the right romantic mood for your Valentine's day dinner.

It is easy to set a romantic table. Cut the lights, and place taper, pillar, floating, or nice looking jar candles in the center of the table. Make sure they are not too high as you want to be able to gaze loving into your sweetheart's eyes.

Next, prepare your music. Choose something soothing, and romantic that will allow for dancing. You will want something light enough that you both can talk over it, but romantic enough that it helps set the mood.

Finally...add some beautiful flowers to the table or place them in the living room where you both will most likely go after your romantic dinner. Remember to have candles waiting to be lit there. Keep the lights low, and add the glow of candle light to help set the mood.

Above all, enjoy your time with your sweetheart, and prepare to repeat these nights throughout the year.
