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.

Peachy

Basket O' Berries

Ammie made this Basket O' Berries arrangement. She used all of the hot pink ranunculus and raspberry thistle and arranged it in this berry basket. What fond memories these baskets bring back of berry picking! Did you pick berries as a child? Where would you go?

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.

Long Lasting Flower Arrangement

We are often asked to make longer lasting flower arrangements. We understand wanting to cheer someone up for a long time! Using floating succulents is one way in which we can help. After the arrangement is done these little guys will last for months on a countertop. They can also live longer if you re-plant them in soil. The best part is the limited care they need, you only have to water them once a month. Plus they are amazing with all these flowers and this really strong stone vase!

flower of the moment: ranunculus!

I feel like such a lazy jerk not posting. But I am now, right? So it's okay. Anyhoo, our Valentine's Day at the shop was amazing. We made so many gorgeous arrangements for our regular customers, as well as some new customers. So all in all, it was a great, fun weekend. I will post some photos of our favorite arrangements soon. In the meantime, check out this gorgeous ranunculus.

more valentines experimentation...

I've been trying to make different arrangements lately while I'm in the shop. It is far too easy to get stuck making the same thing over and over. So, here we have my latest creation. We have a lot of pink and red flowers right now in preparation for oh you know, no particular reason, so naturally I was drawn to them. Especially this super pale pink ranunculus. Aren't they the prettiest?

spring fever: part 1

The Holidays were great at the flower shop this year! Or I guess, is that last year? Anyhoo, one thing we are sure about is making clean, crisp arrangements worthy of the New Year. Holiday arrangements are fun, but there's nothing quite like the change in seasons, especially when that season is Spring. Yeah, I know it's a long ways away, especially in Chicago, but we can dream, right? The combination of yellow, white, and green is so refreshing right now. Now to begin our countdown to Spring!!

bouquet of the week! stock & ranunculus

Each week we make an arrangement for the front desk at Sine Qua Non Salon in Andersonville. This one made the cut (bad pun, I know) last week. Having a salon next door to your job is kind of a good and bad thing. I'm always convincing myself I need hair products that I really don't need. There's nothing wrong with looking, right?
