We will be serving refreshments as well as having ROCK BAND set up on the playstation. So tell all your friends, it will be a BLAST!! See you there!

Your Favorite Florist Takes First!

So we bring you exciting news from the annual Spring Conference of the Michigan Floral Association!! Our very own Doug entered a Design contest where you were required to submit designs in 3 categories in order to compete for Designer of the Year. This included a wedding bouquet, a personalized sympathy tribute and a wedding centerpiece with a coordinating story board. While we didn't fare too well in the other categories (this year) Doug took first for his "Trendy Inspirations" Wedding centerpiece. We will work on acheiving Designer of the Year in the future.

Also Doug has passed the written portion of his certification, and he will take the hands-on session this June. What does this mean to you, our customer? Doug will be recognized as a Michigan Certified Florist which means he has passed rigorous testing in the care and handling, and identification of fresh cut flowers, foliages and green and blooming plants, and also the all around requirements necessary to operate a successful floral shop from a business standpoint. Translated we have a pretty talented florist in our town!

Thanks for all the cards of support, and stopping by the shop with your congratulations and well wishes, we appreciate serving our community so much and giving all the glory and honor to the Lord for making it all possible.
