This has been one CRAZY week! As you have probably noticed I already skipped a Way Back Wednesday blog entry. What can I say, business is going really well for us these days, and I couldn’t be happier or feel more blessed! Not only do we have so many beautiful weddings ahead of us, but some of you have become such good friends, that much like our couples of the past, you keep my work from actually feeling like work. Thank you all so much!
The first most fabulous piece of news to report is that gluttonous displays of wealth, via floral designs, have become a thing of the past. See ya later entire carpet of rose petals! It just seems inappropriate to fill large vases with fruit slices when so many families are struggling to even put food on the table these days. Rather than opting for gigantic topiary balls stuffed with Roses on tall glass vases (that all end up in the dumpster), Hudson Valley couples seem to be requesting understated, but very elegant floral displays. This new trend is carried out by incorporating reusable rental items, recycled materials, and locally and domestically grown flowers, plants and produce. Make no mistake, the weddings will be just as beautiful (and in many cases, just as pricey) as those with the towering candleabras. However they will incorporate much more customized focal point tables, such as place card tables and bar areas. And even better news is that our LOCAL economy will benefit from this trend! We are currently looking into a way to recycle wedding flowers as per many of your requests, and will keep you posted once we have finalized this type of offering. Hopefully by the end of this month.
The second piece of fabulous news this week is that spring may be arriving early! Although we actually had snow yesterday and the day before, I did notice some early signs of spring earlier in the week. On one of my walks I saw some Crocus, and the Tulips are already emerging from the ground at my house!
There is plenty more fabulous news to come, but in order to keep reporting on it, I must get back to work! Have a great weekend everyone!!
