Sunfowers Cure the Chilly Blues

We have been a bit busy but, we better post a blue arrangement since Chicago is pretty blue! We're a bit blue cause the sun is hiding and it is May. Stop in and bring some thing springy to take the blues away for example a sunflower!

Mother's Day

The day has come to thank your Mother for all she has done!

We thought we could show you two arrangement ideas.

White

Peachy

Lanterns

Kaitlyn McQuaid created this floral combo with a great mix of greens and oranges! These roses are amazing they get as big as your fist! She also used the Chinese lanterns which lighten up this arrangement and give it great height.

Simply Fetching

This arrangement is on our website and it was so stunning we had to figure out who made it. Texture is the name of this little composition! There is a great use of delphinium and roses, it is engaging with just the right amount of color. So we found out who made it, Martha Brummett, created this arrangement. She and her arrangements have many shared qualities, which are splendid, down-to-earth and simply fetching!

The Tease

This jaw-dropping arrangement was created by Paul Munro; isn't it stunning? We love thinking "outside of the vase" hence the awesome use of birch bark. We may even ask you: "would you like a birch bark cone with that?" I think I can speak for all of us here at Marguerite Gardens by saying we have been teased enough. Come on Spring we need an abundance of lilacs, chartreuse hydrangeas and jasmine for an arrangement like this!

autumn flower fun

One of the most fun parts about working in a flower shop is just playing with flowers. For no other reason than to create something pretty. Marguerite made this one. So pretty in the antique Mason jar.

bouquet of the week

Fall is in full swing at the flower shop. We've been making lots of arrangements using these hydrangeas, sedum, leucadendron, and other fun leafy autumn branches! More photos of the shop (complete with pumpkins!) to come!

bouquet of the week

The President herself, Marguerite, made this gorgeous arrangement last week! I love the vibrant pinks and trick carnations!

pretty photos of flowers

Some photos a customer took in our shop. She was a sweet woman who teaches kindergarten. How cute is that?
