Caring Brother

dolcefloral — Mon, 09 Jan 2012 22:49:38 +0000

Kindness is always in the air –whatever time of year, but it becomes so much more noticeable around the Holiday season. So our newest Customer of the Day goes to an older gentleman that walked into our store not too long ago and ordered an arrangement to be delivered to his sister across the country using our FTD world-wide floral design network.

Now, a brother ordering flowers for his sister is sweet as it is, but as he told us more I was absolutely blown away by his caring thoughtfulness.

“She has Alzheimers” he told us. It was her birthday that day and the gentleman admitted he knew his sister did not remember who he was or that it was even her own birthday, but that he still wanted to send her a birthday gift –even if it had to be from a stranger.

How incredible is that. I’d like to call my sisters to just say hi today.

Husband’s Dedication

Our newest Customer of the Day is right in line to win Husband of the Year as well.

On the same day each month, he has come into our shop to order a wonderfully created floral arrangement for his wife –a tradition he has kept long before our shop opened and a tradition we’re sure he’ll keep long after.

Deserve a standing ovation, dear Husband of the Year! :)

A Floral Family

Our most recent customer –or rather, customers of the day goes to a wonderful family in Granite Bay. I personally had the pleasure of getting to meet them and right away I was blown away to meet an entire family that believed in the necessity of flowers in every day life as much as me. We made beautiful arrangements for their birthdays, baptize ceremony, baby shower, welcoming gift for their parents’ visiting, “Just Because”, and more!

To them, flowers aren’t just for special events, they’re a living arrangement that can –and should, be enjoyed on a daily basis. I can definitely see how wonderful persons their children will become when they grow up with the flowers all the time!

Love actually

I really should’ve taken a picture of what we sent out to one of our customers. A huge hand-tied bouquet of 44 yellow roses.

He ordered it for his wife who’s been married to him for 44 years and yellow roses are her favorite flowers. He wanted us to deliver it to the restaurant where he already made a reservation for dinner. When I got out of my van to deliver it to one of the manager there, everyone looked at the big yellow rose bouquet sitting in my arm and gave it oohs and aahs. If I could, I wanted to hide somewhere until they arrive and see how happy she would be when one of the restaurant staff brought it out to her. What a romantic and fun surprise it would be!

44 years of marriage, 44 stems of yellow roses. Love actually.

Here’s to the Moms

Ring, ring.

We got a very special order from a birthday lady who just turned 45 years old. She wanted to send flowers to her mom on her birthday with a cute little message, “Happy Birth-ing Day! Thanks for being there.”

What a wonderful message and great gift. Not to mention what a sweet daughter our customer is!

I’ve been a floral designer for many years and never thought about sending flowers to my mom on my birthday. I’m also a mom who knows about giving a birth and raising children..

Thanks, Elizabeth, for giving me time to think about my mom and what a birthday really means. Wish I can see more moms get flowers on their children’s birthdays just like this.

Happy Birth-ing day to your mom. And Happy Birthday to you, Elizabeth.

And mom,

I love you and thank you..

Succulents, summer fun!

It’s almost June and Summer has just begun. But still chilly here and still need long sleeve shirts. Strange. Summer seems to come a bit later than usual, but soon we will dive into the hot and dry summer season. Even though I’m kind of a winter lover, “Summer” definitely makes people excited. Lots of outdoor activities feeling the vibrant sunlight.

For me, one of the fun summer activities is enjoying Succulents. Of course, they are year-round plants, but I love them more and also they look more lovely in the summertime. They literally come in all shapes and sizes. Fleshy, skinny, round, oval, big, tiny.. They look all different, but all of them are very hardy. If I’d say roses are like a beautiful woman who put on flawless makeup and expensive perfume, succulents are like a woman in comfortable yet stylish outfit with no makeup on. That’s the very beauty of succulents. They always make me smile and relaxed.

It’s their season, it’s Summertime.

Floral Updates: Our Newest Creations!

dolcefloral — Thu, 12 May 2011 21:42:36 +0000

Here are some Floral Arrangements, you might be interested in taking a look at! For the arrangement below we used Parrot Tulips as our main flower. We paired it with some lime green Viburnums for accents. The parrot tulip is not average looking flower, and the color is very different as well, which attracts the attention of anyone. We were very pleased with the finished look for this arrangement as were many of our customers! We’re going to continue making arrangements with parrot tulips.

For the arrangement below we wanted to try something a little different from the average everyday looking arrangements. We used Purple Vanda Orchids, and Flax Leaves.

The vase is round shaped with a different type of opening, which gives this arrangement a very modern look. we put some stones and water to complete the look.
