Ok, who got flowers for Valentine's Day? Have you ever wondered how the process works? Well as a New York floral designer and former owner of a flower shop, I have seen many changes in the retail flower business and one is the process of "sending" flowers to someone in another state and thought you the public should really know how the process works.
Why do I say this? Well for one, I am a local florist on Long Island and have family that owns flower shops and have been hurt by the big retail chains like many other businesses' and want to educate people to how simple it is to just "order directly, or shop local" instead of ordering online through a franchise and show you what you are really paying for.
Yes, we are an internet business also, but we are taking our own products and delivering them to a bigger audience like our silk wedding flowers.
The Florist Business- Inside Info
Ok, I have been a floral designer since i was taught by my father when i was 13 and now, I am 45. I grew up in a family of florists on Long Island and am a third generation floral designer.
I was told that I should be blogging some useful information. But I always think well what can I write about and this past Valentine's Day I realized, I should be educating the public about the retail florist business and what you think you may be getting from these wire services and big conglomerates that do all the advertising on the holidays.
What I have seen happen to an industry like the mom and pop flower shops is very sad. Like many other industries in the USA, the retail flowershop business is a dying business.
Subscribe to my blog and I will continue to educate the public on the behind the scenes and inside information to help educate the public on the flower business to show you what an important industry this is and maybe next time, you are in that big warehouse wanting to purchase flowers or go on the internet to order flowers shipped, you will know what really happens.

This is a round natural stem silk wedding bouquet. We used pink-green natural touch silk calla lillies in this. Natural stem wedding bouquets-the most popular today, are where the stems are gathered and tied together with ribbon. Some florists like to wrap the whole stem some leave the stems showing. Its really your choice.
