INTERNATIONAL FLOWER DELIVERY
The technique of adding citrus fruits to your flower arrangement always brings up the question, “won’t it hurt the flowers?” NO! Citrus and flowers pair well and the fruit will not harm the blooms. In fact, the citric acid helps the flowers to drink water. Go ahead – add a little zest to your flowers with vibrant oranges, lemons and limes. The unexpected addition of sliced citrus fruit is certain to make you smile.
Don’t let the kids have all the fun with the egg decorating and candy. Yes, they can have the mess of boiling and dying and painting. You just crack the eggs, save the shells and fill them with flowers. That’s the fun and ease of this Easter centerpiece. Flora2000 has all the fabulous spring blossoms. You have the eggs. Put them together and you’re ready for Easter brunch. Now for the hard part…who’s doing the cooking?
The days are warming and spring flowers are popping up everywhere. The springtime days call us outside but alas, the work day calls us inside. If that is the case for you, create a springtime paradise for your desk top. If you can’t be out with the flowers, they certainly should be inside with you! Ranunculas and anemones, daffodils and tulips… Arranged in a simple glass vase; absolutely glorious!

Of all of life’s rites of passage, getting married is the most public. The effort and expenses involved in one’s wedding day feed a billion dollar industry. But it’s all worth it. After all, you get married only once (hopefully) and you want everything to be perfect.
There is a reason why they call it “your big day,” and it’s not because you get to order everyone around. It’s because your wedding day should showcase who you are and this requires some serious strategizing. The two of you must put your heads together, harness all your creative energy and select a venue, menu, flowers and invitations— in short a theme—that reflects your personalities.
Theme weddings became popular not only because marrying couples want their wedding day to be memorable, but also because choosing a theme is like choosing a direction. There are a million things to plan, buy and arrange. Moreover, there are so many options, shades and sizes that making the right selection can be mind-boggling task.
Flowers are an essential part of any wedding celebration because they symbolize the beginning of new life. Choosing the right floral theme is very important.
Flora2000 recently decorated a beautiful pink-and-white themed wedding reception. The pink-purple orchid curtains, embellished orbs and magnificent vases of snow white and purple carnations glowed beautifully in the candlelight. Theme weddings, hitherto a very Western concept, have made their way to the opulent orient, and added another dimension to the colorful wedding ceremonies of the East.
Spring is in full bloom and “Love is in the Air”. This is the season for new beginnings, hope and inspiration and romance too. What better time is there to get married! Flora2000 can help you add a touch of romantic whimsy to your wedding day. A flower bedecked teddy bear is perfect for the ring bearer or a flower girl. What fun for the youngest members of the bridal party!
Take a hint from the returning birds. A nesting hint that is. For a contemporary twist on the traditional pedestal bouquet, think like a bird. A handmade nest of barked wire, willow whips and lily grass is the perfect stage for your favorite spring blooms. Tiny Tete-aTete daffodils, tulips and anemones nestle in to their natural nested home. Oh, what fun to think like a bird in this springtime nesting season.
It’s incredibly difficult to improve something that’s already perfect…. like a Baccarat crystal vase. However, David Beahm successfully did so at an event held in New York’s Bloomingdale’s. David’s floral works of art were arranged in exquisite Baccarat crystal vases. The bright orchids and red roses seemed all the more beautiful under the light of Bloomingdale’s Baccarat chandelier.
Baccarat crystal works are world-famous for their superb glass art, sparkling tableware and dazzling sconces. David Beahm’s stunning flowers and the elegant Baccarat vases were a match made in heaven. Arrangements from Flora2000’s David Beahm New York collection were also kept on display. The event received a tremendous positive response; everyone, including Bloomingdale’s Baccarat crystal specialist, Gena Davis, felt that the flowers showcased their crystal holders perfectly.
It’s time to take flight with springtime whimsy. A country basket filled with blooming branches and your favorite spring blooms provides the perfect nesting place for these love birds. As a gift for an anniversary, birthday, Easter or just because, these birds are happy to fly over and say, “Chirp” – Bird speak for “Hi, I love you!”
New buds, white blossoms and green shoots mean one thing– Spring! The winter is finally over and we want to celebrate, let the liquor flow and revel in green splendor.
St. Patrick’s originated in Ireland, as an annual feast in honor of Ireland’s revered St. Patricius, who brought Christianity to Ireland. He died on March 17th 461 AD and the Irish observe this day as a religious holiday. Green, the color of Spring, shamrocks and the Emerald Isle, eventually became inextricably linked with St. Patrick’s Day.
Today, St. Patrick’s Day is celebrated by people of all backgrounds in the United States, Canada, Great Britain, Australia and New Zealand. Come March 17th, the excitement for parades, the ensuing celebrations and the warmth in the air, all make St Patrick’s Day a special emerald infused extravaganza.
