Here is a new feature where we can celebrate all things fabulous! Sometimes we may announce something like, “It’s Free Flower Friday!” (it’s not yet, don’t freak out), other times we may report that one of our couples just purchased their first home, or we may just show you what we are working on for the wedding we have in the upcoming weekend. With all the bad news out there, we thought we would try our best to post some good news to get you ready for the weekend!
We are in the process of adding a lot more content to our blog these days and with all things vintage and retro becoming so popular these days, I thought it would be fun to have Wednesdays discuss wedding and floral trends from the bygone days. I consider myself one of the luckiest floral designers out there, because I have worked for a few multi-generational florists and have been exposed to stories of the different trends and ways of doing things. I cannot wait to be able to share some of this information with you all! Please stay tuned…..
I get asked as many questions about growing a small business, having babies, and parenting as I do about flowers! It seems I never have enough time to answer everyone’s e-mails and phone calls, so I’m hoping this blog will help answer some of the questions I get asked most frequently. So much of A Night in Bloom’s success is due to other amazing mompreneurs who have helped me along the way; which is why I have decided to devote Monday’s blogs to this topic. I feel it is really valid information, not only for parents running small businesses, but also for those of our clients and friends who are on the track to parenthood (and pet parenthood too!), or those that are already there. Whether you work for yourself or someone else; we all have to deal with issues such as daycare, time management, and the nonstop demands of everyday life.
I feel so blessed to have everything that I have at this point in my life and I’d like to help others if I can. I am certainly NO EXPERT, however I will be happy to share tips with you all about my journey and how I grew my business while juggling marriage, babies, home ownership, and everything in between! It hasn’t always been pretty, but I am so happy to have the life I now have. I hope you enjoy, or at least have a good laugh!

Planning a winter wedding? Here are our picks for the season’s most beautiful blooms:
Amaryllis
(Heather’s most favorite!)
Cymbidium Orchids
(Lovely and available in many different colors).
Tulips
(An affordable favorite).
Paperwhites
(Another one of Heather’s favorites! Gorgeous, but sometimes overpowering fragrance).
Peonies
(They aren’t just for spring weddings anymore!)
Poinsettias
(Such a favorite, especially around the holidays. Not feeling the red? Try white to really increase the elegance factor.)
Anemone
(A huge favorite among the vintage loving set!)
Pepper Berry
(Actually smells like black Pepper! Beautiful “drapey” type of greenery in soft reds, mauves and green tones).
Privet Berry
(Love, love, LOVE this one! Beautiful navy/ slate blue/ plum toned berries).
Ranunculus
(Another favorite among the vintage loving folks!)
Happy Planning!
