No longer working full-time

School has started so I have just been helping out at Rexburg Floral when I can and when they need the extra help. They have hired a new intern for the fall semester so she has been helping them out a lot now.

The high schools in the area had their homecomings and I helped out a lot and did some boutonnieres and corsages for the kids.

I love doing boutonnieres with the bullion wire! It looks so much more natural. And I love doing them with spray roses instead of one huge rose.

Summer Weddings

I stem wrapped this bouquet for a wedding last weekend.Note: I did not make this bouquet. This is just to show the whole picture.

I did the mothers' corsages for this wedding and here is how they turned out.I also stem wrapped the bouquet.Note: I did not do this bouquet. It is just to show how the corsages matched so well and just because it turned out beautifully.

I worked alone most of the day. Gaye wanted the day off so she got it. She did get a new dog yesterday so I think that might have been part of the reason. :) I did all the day file and the incoming orders. It was pretty fun just taking care of the stuff myself.

I got to finish cleaning the shelves that I had started yesterday and I dusted the front of the shop with Pledge! You gotta love it!

I got off for the afternoon because I needed it. I just wish that I didn't have to work tomorrow. But I do have Monday off. :) Which is super nice!

Another Be Happy mug...I'm getting good at these.

I did this dozen red roses with baby's breath in under 10 minutes. The guy was waiting so I did it as fast as I could. I just didn't think it would be that fast. I surprised myself.

Corsage and boutonniere for a 50th Anniversary party for the happy couple. :)

The Mother of all Weeks!

so i got so busy during the week before mother's day that i didn't have time to post and i was so dog tired that i didn't want to. :) but it looks like all of my pictures are deleted and not uploading which is SUPER sad!
i'll make a smilebox of the corsages and boutonnieres i made for the 3 school dances we had that saturday before mother's day.
we had calls coming in almost constantly and people filing in especially on saturday, wondering if they could still get something sent. we closed, technically at 5:30 on saturday but i left at 6:30 and the sutherland's were there delivering until 8 pm. we usually close at 2 on normal weekends.
i got to meet jolene and ladon. they are two other ladies that help us during the busy times. they were nice and fun to be around. jolene just had back surgery so she couldn't bend down and twist. she answered phones and took orders for us and helped me make the dance flowers.
there isn't much else to say, but it was super busy and they say that Valentines Day is even worse! haha great...

Prep for Mother's Day

for mother's day, we do the orders we need for the next day, the day before. so yesterday we did today's file of orders so we aren't totally swamped. then if people order last minute to go out today, we can do it while we try to complete the next day's orders. does that make since? anyway...i haven't done the day file yet. they are just having me do other things to keep everyone busy. we got in a lot of plants for the holiday and i had to bring them in and we got them watered and tagged with the correct pricing. then i took them out to our front and set them up around the shop. we got a lot in and i wasn't sure that they were all going to fit. I JUST REMEMBERED!! i set aside a little plant to take home. it's a dahlia that's pinkish purple! it's super cute! and i forgot about it. i'll pay for it and bring it home today.
other than those plants. i made corsages and boutonnieres the rest of the day. i forgot my camera too so i don't have pictures. but i'll take some today and post them when i get home. the bouts aren't as cute or impressive as the corsages but oh well. i guess they aren't really supposed to be! :)

Corsages and Processing

this is pretty much what i did on the 5th. we got a bunch of spray roses (these mini/baby roses) and a bunch of standard roses in for Mother's Day. we processed those and then i started working on corsages because we have 3 high school dances on saturday along with mother's day stuff. CRAZY! haha i think they are super cute. i'll have more pictures later.
