Finally!!! As some of you know, this project has been a very long time coming! Well, after a season of nonstop phone calls about flowers for occasions other than weddings, this is the year I am finally giving in and carefully dipping my toes into the retail area. Now, don’t panic, we are not going to be a wire service type of shop with balloons and stuffed animals. What we will offer is as many locally grown/ grown in the USA products as possible, paired with our eclectic, recycled, vintage, and uncommon glassware.
What I keep hearing time and time again is that you all want something simple. So I have attempted to simplify our offerings by always offering standard items each week: a “by the bunch flower” (usually priced by the stem or bunch); a “Sampler,” which will have an assortment of the weekly special flowers, paired with unique seasonal greenery, arranged in a Mason Jar with a chalk board tag, priced at $20; and our “Minis,” which will be an assortment of whatever we have popping up in our gardens, got an amazing deal on, or those blooms that didn’t quite make the cut for a custom design, priced at the rock bottom price of $5! Please note: all of these weekly by the bunch, Samplers and Minis are cash and carry only.
We will cater to holidays, custom work and sympathy. Each of these categories will be simplified as well. Holiday designs will be offered in several styles, at several price points, and must all be pre-ordered. (We will have a few sale day events coming up this holiday season, so stay tuned). Custom work will feature all of the “good stuff,” but pricing really must begin at $125 and up for these designs. There really is very little difference between a $50 arrangement and one priced at $65. I want to be able to make you all something unforgettably amazing, and to do that, you have to give me some type of budget to work with. I often receive phone calls from customers asking if I can create a vase arrangement with the same florals I have used for a bridal bouquet, but for a budget of $75 and I simply cannot do that type of thing and still remain in business!
Since event work is still at the core of our business, I still have to devote a lot of time to this area. Therefore our flower market hours will be a little shorter, and will be from Wednesday-Friday between the hours of 10:00 and 5:00 p.m. On Fridays, we will be open until 6 p.m. Weekends will still be reserved for our events and wedding appointments.

Please keep in mind this site is still very much under construction. If you have any questions about placing an order, please give us a ring at the studio: 845.802.0750, or e-mail: anightinbloom@gmail.com
So welcome to the next chapter! And to all of our past couples, thank you so much for your encouragement and pushing me in this direction!
