Immaculate Flowers for a June Wedding

Jessica had a vision of a classic wedding with some modern elements when she came to me to plan her wedding flowers. Her bouquet was skillfully designed of lush green hydrangeas with splashes of Sweet Akito (light pink) roses while her bridesmaids carried Sweet Akito (light pink) and Orlando (medium pink) roses with accents of pink waxflower (as seen in the flower girl's pomander). Green hydrangeas and both shades of pink roses adorned the alter area perfectly while her adorable flower girl carried a custom pomander ball designed of light pink carnations graced by pink waxflower and white ribbon. Corsages were miniature roses with a touch of greens and white ribbon loops while the men sported a single rose. Both shades of pink rose petals greeted her guests at their tables during the recpetion. Jessica truly was the bell of her ball!

Proflowers isn't just for lovers, it's for carnivores!

I have a question: Why would someone want to buy flowers from a company that also sells steaks--delivered to your door???

Support those in your community by purchasing your flowers from a local, reputable flower shop. Florists specialize in, well, flowers. At least we do! In fact, we don't even dive much into the gift side of the business, except for a few offerings such as chocolates and plush.

So why buy from a company that wants to sell you a slab of beef with your roses? That doesn't sound very romantic to me.

Just my two cents worth...
