The flowers were gorgeous peonies, roses, dendrobium orchids, stock, tulips, queen anne’s lace, and green hypericum.  We worked on a very natural theme; stone, wood, whites, and greens.  These elements lead to a perfect gorgeous and wonderful event!  ENJOY!

Mini Gerbers……a summer’s delight!  This is an assortment of various colors and textures.  It really gives it a “FUN” quality.  Gerber Daisies……..the “Happy Flower”!

What a gorgeous bouquet full of beautiful, rich colors and textures.  Thanks to Stephanie for trusting me to design a fabulous bouquet.  With no other information but colors and a few floral favorites, this bride let me have complete and total design discretion.  This is truly when “Floral Magic” occurs.  A client that gives me control of the material will utimately have one of the most spectacular floral displays that she could possibly imagine.  Being a guest at this wedding was an incredible honor and have the talk of the event be about the designs was an amazing experience.  Here is the list of materials used:

I have watched with dismay the price of wholesale flowers going up and up across the board.  It doesn’t matter where the flowers are coming from, Miami, California, etc. because all flowers are shipped into the Midwest, either by plane or truck.  Obviously, these prices are not only affecting Petals Galore, but every single florist and floral merchant in the Midwest.  As I am sure you can guess, it is the cost of fuel that is causing the prices of flowers to soar.  Throughout the spring and summer months Petals Galore has taken on 100%  of these price increases.  We have not passed any of these increases along to our clients.  Unfortunately, we can no longer afford to do this.  As of August 1, 2008, Petals Galore will be adjusting its prices accordingly to reflect the current costs of the wholesale market.

Gorgeous Tableau for sale.  In perfect condition.  Amazingly priced at $75.  Call to arrange for pick-up.  This incredibly priced item will not last for long. 

This is a beautiful sample of a gorgeous spring bouquet.  Soft and sublte in color, but packs a punch with dramatic floral selections!

Beautiful scenery, gorgeous flowers, and a fabulous reception site like the Legends Country Club makes for an incredible wedding reception.  Our bride, Kelly, chose various shades of pink with a punch of red for a sophisticated palette.  The cake was decorated simply with pink cymbidium orchids and surrounded by mint julep cups overflowing with roses. 

Enjoy these beautiful flowers!
