Simple Spring Decorating

I always tell my friends and clients that the simplest things are sometimes the prettiest elements you can use in your home.

Dress up your kitchen island with some cuttings from your flowering trees, snip a few blooms from the garden and place them along side your nest of 'Peep' Cupcakes and your kitchen will look good enough to be in Country Living Magazine . . .Enjoy!

Take a Walk in Your Garden

The snow is finally over and the birds are singing their Spring songs . . . . I'm drawn to the Garden today & as I look up I see this poster above my desk and there is the perfect invitation,  'Take a Walk in the Garden this morning' . . . I think I will do just that . . . would you like to join me?

Bouquets to 'Remember'

Do you want to make your bouquet a cherished heirloom? 

 Try adding a sentimental and treasured piece of jewelry from a special family member or vintage lockets with pictures of family members you want to remember on your special day or the lace sleeve from your Mother's Wedding gown.

Any one of these ideas will bring new meaning to the time honored tradition of 'something' borrowed!

Keep 'Mother Earth' Blooming!

Today we revisit 'Earth Hour' a movement which began in 2007 when over 2 million individuals and more than 2,000 businesses turned their lights off for one hour to 'make a stand' against the climate changes our world is currently undergoing.

Since then this movement has grown, and as we begin the Spring Season in this hemisphere of 'Mother Earth's Garden' I am reaching out to all of my fellow 'flower friends' to keep in mind our 'friends and families' in Japan who are trying to recover what is left of their lives and their beautiful country.  We can all do more to keep Mother Earth blooming!

SPRING SNOW STORM

A wise person once said, "Snow is a thousand flowers!"

More on Bridal Consultations -- Booking Specials & Pre-Consultations Forms

Things have been 'buzzin' at Best Buds this past month . . I have had the pleasure of meeting so many happy couples planning their Weddings and Special Events.  I love talking to people about flowers and helping them select what is right for them and especially in today's economy . . . what will give them the most value for their Wedding Flower Budget. 

 Everyone loves a deal and that is why I offered the Booking Special which ends on 3/31 where you can save $100 on your flower order of $500 or more if you retain my services at the end of our consultation.  This is in addition to the many 'other goodies' I offer to all my clients. 

One of the other items I find very helpful for my clients is the Pre-Consultation Form that I developed this year which they complete and email or fax back to me prior to our meeting.  It allows me to have a first hand view of their personal taste, style and vision as well as providing the necessary information regarding their ceremony location, venue site, etc.  My clients love this service and actually tell me it helps to organize them as well.  This form allows my clients and me to follow their outline as we cover each component of their Wedding and the time just flies when we are talking flowers!!! 

OK . . . that's it for this post.  You still have time to book Best Buds before 3/31.  My goal is to provide you with quality products, personal service and affordable prices -- these are 'bargains' that I offer everyday!
