Now that same-sex couples will be getting legally married in Minnesota starting August 1st, its time to start planning your event! We participated in a fashion show at the Pride Fest in Loring Park over the weekend to show off some of the things we do for personal flowers for weddings. This tropical-inspired headdress and boutonniere combo is a great example of the creative use of color and texture we pride ourselves on.</div>

This Sunday is Mother's Day, and the shop is totally full of fresh flowers, plants, and fun gifts for all the moms in your life. We have been very busy getting ready, but we are always happy to help you choose just what will make mom feel extra special. Above is a close-up view of our absolutely gorgeous orchids.</div>

Here's a whole slew of anthurium plants we have in-store at the moment, in 4 and 6 inch pots, and in red, pink and white. These guys are so pretty and really easy to care for: they like lots of light, and will thrive when watered thoroughly after the soil becomes dry to the touch. The best part is, the blooms just last and last, like our love for our mothers.</div>

Art in Bloom 2013 came to an end this Sunday, and we were really proud of how our display turned out. With 13 commercial displays and over 160 individual participants, it was an awesome weekend of fun, flowers, fragrances and art in Minneapolis. Here's a few shots of our work for those that couldn't make it down. These bright yellow orchids were just huge in person!</div>

We just finished setting up our display at <a href="http://www.artsmia.org/art-in-bloom-2013/">Art In Bloom's 2013 event</a> at the Minneapolis Institute of Arts, and we are so excited for everyone to see what we have to show. This year we are working in cooperation with the special Art In Bloom Store where we created a large floral display and will be selling plants and small arrangements which is different than what we have done in years past. Here's a small taste of what we installed today, we will be posting a full set of photos next week but we strongly urge you to go see (and smell) this in person. The entire museum will be filled with flowers and people, and it is one of our favorite FREE events in the Twin Cities of the entire year.</div>

Despite the activity downtown, we will be open at the shop for all of our regular business hours, taking/making orders for Prom this weekend. Here's a few samples of recent ones we have made. Up top is a wrist corsage with spray roses, blue hydrangea and light blue rhinestones, which is a good example of what we typically make for Prom wristlets. On the bottom left is a pin-on corsage that was made for a wedding shower featuring orange spray roses, red alstroemeria and iris. A bit different than the standard look, this could easily be made as a wrist corsage as well, and is a good example of the more creative and distinct side of what we can make. The last one on the bottom right is a unique boutonniere for a customer that wanted an option other than the traditional rose. We instead used white freesia, ranunculus and blue delphinium with some branching sweet huck for a stylish look.</div>

Bright Spring colors like these are sure to chase away the Winter blues and blahs. This arrangement has yellow freesia that has a lovely peppery aroma distinct from other floral scents. Its paired with some Asiatic lilies and waxflower that also provide a beautiful fresh flower smell. Then throw in some hydrangea, alstromeria and a rose for some vibrant hues.</div>

Tulips have become a symbol of the beginning of spring because they are often the first plants to pop up with colorful blooms in the early months of the season. We have plenty of them at Best Wishes this time of year, and are great in small desk arrangements as well as large splashy buffet table arrangements.</div>

Dish gardens can be the perfect antidote to the current lack-of-springness in the air, since they sit on your desk at work or on your table in the living room and have the lushness of a verdant forest in some tropical (or arid) place. They are quite easy to maintain and take care of and should last at least a year before they need to be replanted. We're always happy to share our plant care tips with our customers, just drop in and ask!</div>

Here's a cute arrangement that would be appropriate for a host of Valentines. Two red Len Busch Roses in a cube vase with seeded eucalyptus, green hydrangea, pink waxflower, and a little heart tucked in. Adding the Hammond's Candy Cane Crunch dark chocolate bar makes just one more sense this gift will stimulate. We have the Hammond's bars in 5 delicious flavors, and carry the gourmet boxes in 4, 9, and 16 pieces. Sometimes the surest way to someone's heart is through their taste buds!</div>

Our bulb gardens are just getting started, maximizing the time you'll enjoy them this spring. The larger ones include iris, daffodil, tulips and hyacinth, and the small sized ones will bloom with iris and daffodils. They're quite easy to take care of, just keep them moist and let them have a bit of sun. Keeping them in cooler temperatures will extend the blooming time as well.</div>

As we prepare for one of our busiest days here at Best Wishes Floral (Valentine's), here's a quick document of what we were up to in the 2012 holiday season. It was an adventure setting up our newly remodeled space for Christmas and Hanukkah, playing with all the new ways we can use our ceiling, for example. <br />

These hanging lanterns with their nice glass cylinder vases inside have all kinds of possibilities for home decor. Either hung from the ceiling or placed on a shelf or table, you'll have all kinds of fun filling them with interesting textures and shapes. Here, we've strung some Christmas lights through them and filled them with brightly colored wire balls and then adorned them with this great natural-looking snowy garland.</div>

Another of our weekly standing order, this one shot on location at Doolittle's Woodfire Grill in Golden Valley.

We had a blast this year at the Rediscover Town Square Event here in Golden Valley, where all the local businesses came together to show off all the new things that are happening here. It was the great unveiling of our new remodel, and we are so proud of the results. We also had our Halloween merchandise out for perusal, with tons of fun gifts and decorations to get everyone in the spooky spirit. This hanging ghost is truly gigantic, at over 18' long!</div>

The months of August and September have brought many changes to Best Wishes Floral and we are happy to share the completion of our remodel project! We have been working hard to update and redesign our store to better serve our customers the unique home and floral design expertise we specialize in. The last three weeks have been especially hectic since we did nearly all of the remodeling ourselves, all while remaining open for business for all our usual work for events, weddings, funerals, birthdays and anniversaries. Here's a series of photos of the progress.</div>

The first thing we decided to change was the ceiling, pulling down the tiles and painting it black, to add height to the space. Thankfully, painting the ceiling was the one part we hired experts to deal with, and we couldn't be happier with the result.</div>

Flowers and chocolate anyone? We're going to have some very exciting updates here soon, but here's a quick sample of what's we've been cranking out. Above is a delicious summer treat: sunflower, orange lilies, oregonia, ti leaf, bear grass and oh yeah, CANDY! Hammond's chocolates are absolutely delicious and we've got them!</div>

This rather unique item is actually the most clever way to return your neighbor's things you borrowed and forgot to return. A regular customer was cleaning out their cupboard and was horrified to find an electric skillet they had borrowed months before. Returning it filled with flowers remedied the guilt and potential hard feelings, and also made for one of the stranger things we've put and arrangement in! Frank even incorporated the cord and control box into the design!</div>

Summer has been flying by and although its usually our slow season, we've been kept very busy indeed by a spate of weddings, events, and the gearing up for a big remodel of the shop. Here's a few shots of just a slice of what we've been up to!<br />

We have standing orders with a number of businesses and organizations around Golden Valley in which we provide weekly or bi-weekly flower arrangements to liven up interiors. This one went to Golden Valley Library last week. In a unique L-shaped vase, we put hydrangea, pink spray roses, yellow mini daisies and a deep pink gerbera daisy, framed by that great eucalyptus. I wonder if anyone got any reading done with such beautiful flowers to distract them!</div>

We love to interpret people's creative gift ideas or any crazy idea our customers might have with flowers. This one was a rather sweet idea involving Reese's Pieces and a colorful gift bouquet. The result is a splendid treat for the eyes along with a nice treat for the tastebuds, adding some elegance you probably won't find in the fruit-on-a-stick Edible Arrangements.</div>

Wow, the time has been flying by! Its already Summer and we've left you high and dry without a blog update for two months! Here's a taste of what we've been up to lately, a hint of what you'll see when you stop in to see us. Above is a mock-up of a wedding bouquet Frank made for a client's upcoming August ceremony. Beautiful blue cornflowers contrast with bright yellow craspedia (the round things), and beautiful lavender dahlias. Just a bit of Queen Anne's lace and a few of our locally grown Len Busch roses (in white and the bi-color pink/orange variety aptly named Miss Piggy) thrown in and you're ready to toss! (Or save in a nice vase with water. Your call.)<br />

A few arrangements that are currently adorning our cooler, ready to be picked up! Above, that great yellow craspedia is glowing on a bed of blue Dutch hydrangea, ruddy maroon alstroemeria, a few Miss Piggies and that awesome deep magenta astilbe. The cute cube vase size is perfect for a dining room table. On the buffet table, below, are some stunning Asiatic lilies in beautiful orange and pink shades, yellow daisies, pretty pink larkspur in the center, a few Len Busch lavender roses all accented with bright yellow solidago and that luxuriously long-leafed eucalyptus.</div>

Come get one or more of these adorable 4" orchid plants before they're gone. I'm particularly fond of the one pictured on the right with the variegated leaves.

The excitement is palpable, the air is thick with anticipation, the shop is stuffed to the brim with flowers... it's about to be MOTHERS' DAY!! We all have mothers in our lives, and many people know many moms: wives, daughters, grandmothers, and friends who deserve a bit of recognition for the hard work and love they give to their families. We are just so excited to help you make her day special because really, what's better than fresh flowers and a hug?</div>

In the center here is 6" kalanchoe in a bright magenta hue, and in front are these really cool double gloxinia I picked up today.

A cactus garden can sometimes have a kitschy connotation, but we've been making super fun and unique succulent gardens with a much more elegant feel. This one is getting sent out to a hospital on delivery this week, but there's more where that came from! Succulents are great plants for less experienced caretakers, since they're used to surviving a massive drought (oops I forgot to water) or the blazing sun.</div>

This year's <a href="http://www.artsmia.org/art-in-bloom-2012/">Art In Bloom at MIA</a> was a big success. If you didn't get a chance to make it down to one of the Twin Cities' best events, shame on you! Here's a few photos of our display, shared again this year with Gabbert's Design Studio, who provided the furniture. Above is the star of the show, some dramatically wrapped curly willow branches sprouting from sod and fresh flower dishes and holding fresh flower arrangements of their own. </div>

This week we're going to post a bit of what's in the store as well as some of the arrangements we've been making, but first there are a few announcements to make. Next Wednesday the 25th is Administrative Professionals Day, and we will be delivering thank-you gifts of all kinds to the Admin Pros at your workplace who deserve that special recognition for the hard work they do. Don't forget to give us a call; some fresh flowers and plants can really brighten up your office, and everyone's day!</div>

We're very excited to announce that the 29th Annual <a href="http://www.artsmia.org/art-in-bloom-2012/">Art In Bloom</a> at Minneapolis Institute of the Arts is coming up next weekend, April 26-29th. Each year local floral designers, amateur and professional, are invited to create work inspired by works in the museum collection. Over the weekend, the museum becomes a veritable garden of delight where art and nature come together in a celebration of Spring. We are partnering as we have in years past with <a href="http://www.gabberts.com/">Gabbert's Design Studio</a> in one of the many commercial floral displays that are part of the event. You'll find us in the entrance to the Target Gallery on the second floor. Frank just told me he had a vision of what he wants to do, so we can't wait to show you what we have in store. We'll be posting more about this next week, and a wrap-up following the event. If you haven't been to the museum or this event before, you are absolutely required to visit!<br />

We do a lot of work for events, making centerpieces, buffet, and table arrangements that give and elegant and stylish pop to special occasions and gatherings. One of our frequent event clients had a showcase last week and asked Frank to put together a few examples of what we do. This table arrangement is making a bold statement with orange roses and tulips and those tall flowers in the center, called <a href="https://www.google.com/search?q=eremurus&hl=en&prmd=imvns&tbm=isch&tbo=u&source=univ&sa=X&ei=KGaQT9joFsWYiALYsMCYAw&ved=0CFwQsAQ&biw=1920&bih=985">eremurus</a>, provide maximum height and interest.</div>

This matching arrangement, with orange roses and gerbera daisies, hydrangea, and beautiful dark blue delphinium, works as an accent for a buffet, or prominently displayed at the entrance, inviting your guests inside. The showcase event this was made for last week was held outside on a windy day, and you wouldn't believe that this was blown over once or twice in a strong gust, and it still looks great! What is not captured very well in this photo are the battery-operated LED accent lights adorning the outside of the vase, and even in the water (!) that can add a great glow to those evening events. Come in and see them in person, and we'll show you all the cool ways we can use them!</div>

This photo didn't look quite so blurry on my phone, but you can sort of see those great big green spider 'mums paired with orange tulips, pink spray roses, and that dark purple statice makes for a colorful and cute look for the table.</div>

In the next installment of our Spring update, we've got plants, plants, plants, a few fresh cut arrangements and some home decor to show off for you. The plant baskets in the previous post were very popular, there's only one left! I'll be making more when we get new plants in the store on Monday. In the meantime here's a selection of the beautiful single plants we have in the store. We'd love to show you around when you come in to visit! Above are a few of the Easter lilies we have in stock right now, some decorated with festive Easter grass and eggs, and some in more neutral baskets, with a bit of Spanish moss.<br />

A few aloe vera plants (seen at the right) are in the shop right now, which live for a very long time. You can also harvest the leaves for their healing and nutritional properties, very cool! At the top and left are cactus-like succulent plants called gasteria, which are good for plant novices because they don't need water very often.

These garden baskets have been really fun to make, with our beautiful blooming hydrangea plants paired with a selection of other lovely blooming and green plants like spathiphyllum, purple passion and fittonia, they're sure to bring a fresh look to your home or office.

We are pleased to be participating in the 2nd Annual Empty Bowls event in Golden Valley this coming March. If you haven't heard of <a href="http://www.emptybowls.net/">Empty Bowls</a>, its a really neat group dedicated to fighting hunger across the country. Artists and craftspeople are invited to make bowls, which are given to anyone who makes a donation, along with a meal of soup and bread. The proceeds of this event are going to <a href="http://prismmpls.org/">PRISM</a> and <a href="http://visi.com/~near/">NEAR</a>, two local organizations that provide all kinds of much-needed services to the community. Did you know PRISM distributes 2,000 pounds of food a day?<br />
Stop in at the shop and bid on one of the beautiful ceramic bowls, a keepsake that will show your support for ending hunger in our community. Together, we make a difference!<br />

Sometimes a dozen red roses is not quite the right gift on Valentine's day, whether you are giving to a friend, family member, or someone that you would like to eventually be sending red roses to, but haven't quite reached that stage. We have so many options and gift ideas in the shop right now, we want to share some of them with you. Like the 12 long-stemmed roses above, in stunning pink and lavender hues, here's some special things you can find that say "Be Mine" in many different ways.<br />

Clever (or not so clever) puns about "two lips" are entirely optional when you give beautiful Minnesota-grown tulips as gifts. We can put them in a nice arrangement alone or with some other nice fresh cut flowers and greens, or wrap them up for you to take them home. The best part is they will remind everyone who sees them that spring is coming soon!</div>

Speaking of spring, we have a selection of ready-to-go bulb gardens in the shop that are sprouting up like crazy. If you don't have much of a way with plants, its fine with these guys, they just like a splash of water now and then, and they'll be blooming in a matter of weeks. We always love to share our knowledge of plant care with our customers, and these are great for beginners. Also, what better way to say "our Love will grow and grow" to your special someone?</div>

These Anthurium (ann-THIR-ee-um) plants such a cool a colorful gift year-round gift, but especially for Valentine's because the flowers have one big petal shaped just like a heart! (Well, the iconic version, not an actual heart organ) (and Frank would correct me to say that it's not technically a petal but a modified <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bract">bracht </a>called a <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spathe#Spathe">spathe</a>) <3 For more info on these fun tropical plants <a href="http://www.theflowerexpert.com/content/aboutflowers/exoticflowers/anthuriums">check here</a> or read the rather jargon-y <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anthurium">wiki page here</a>.<br />

This Tuesday is Valentine's Day, and Best Wishes is here to help you express your love for that special someone, or those special people in your life. We're getting stocked up on red roses for the traditional symbol of romantic love, a dozen long-stemmed beauties like the ones seen above. Our roses are a cut above the ones you'd find at the gas station or grocery store, as they are fresh from Len Busch Roses in Plymouth, MN, and cared for from the moment we receive them and arrange them, to when we hand them off to you.<br />

In the shop right now we have all kinds of great plants, cards, gifts, and decor items. These little orchid plants are pretty much the cutest thing, and gift that will last for years. The flower spikes will grow back!</div>

As well as the orchid cuties, we have a few incredible orchid plants in the shop with lots of really unique blossoms. They are not your typical phalenopsis!</div>
