Something old, something new
Something borrowed, something blue
And a silver sixpence in her shoe.
The spring time bride is the lucky one. There are so many fabulous spring blossoms to choose from. Orchids, Callas, Ranunculus, Alstroemeria, Roses, Freesia, Heather and deliciously fragrant Hyacinths… I love it! Gather your favorite flowers together in a luxurious bouquet and wrap it with a romantic blue handle for a sentimental touch.
No one who achieves success does so without acknowledging the help of others. The wise and confident acknowledge this help with gratitude. ~Author Unknown
18th April 2010 marks the beginning of the 58th Administrative Professionals Week. It originated in 1952 through the efforts of the International Association of Administrative Professionals. Now, it is one of the biggest workplace observances, on par with birthdays and major festivals.
Show the administrative professionals who work for you just how much you appreciate them. Send a beautiful bouquet of flowers, or for the sweet toothed, a glorious gift hamper of chocolates.
The trees are in bloom and the birds are singing. Nest building is underway and soon, the eggs will be laid. What a fun surprise to go for a walk and see a “nesting” underway. Bring a bit of that delight inside your home with your flowers. A hand made nest (certainly not stolen from our fine feathered friends) tucked in with fresh flowers makes a wonderful springtime centerpiece. This floral nest is carefully tied into blooming plum branches. Keep watch, you may see a little bird come to claim it as his own!
If something is worth doing, it’s worth doing fabulously.
Are you planning a dinner party or a birthday lunch? Make it an affair to remember with sparkling crystal, fine china, gleaming cutlery and most importantly— exquisite floral arrangements. Special occasions deserved to be honored with a well-planned celebration and delicious food. Let your guests know that when you entertain, you do it in style.
Spring’s here and everyone’s looking for an excuse to celebrate. With lots of seasonal flowers around, you can take your pick and choose an arrangement which reflects your personality. Add an extra zing to your festivities with clusters of beautiful flowers.
These beautiful Flora2000 arrangements for a birthday lunch at Colaba’s Cafe Indigo are a celebration of pink—-the Birthday Girl’s favorite color. The combination of scented Stargazer lilies, cotton candy carnations and blushing roses were delicately arranged to create an unforgettable afternoon.
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!
Easter is just around the corner. Have you made your plans and ordered your flowers? You can’t forget a centerpiece of flowers for Easter dinner. Flora2000 has lots of lovely arrangements for you to choose from. The centerpiece for my Easter dinner is going to be a hand-tied bouquet that shouts springtime in pink. Beautiful parrot tulips, wax flowers and lots of tiny pink spray roses, all set in a lovely beveled glass vase. Whatever your choice of flowers, hurry up and place you order now. You don’t want to forget.
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!
