Shop Time
We always enjoy the quiet time before Valentine’s Day….we create new bouquets, Kate and Alicia have been decorating the shop in all things red, and I’ve been working on taxes! (uggh!) It is a time, too, for renewing friendships and relationships with some of our favorite venues….the Cambridge Hotel (after Gordon Ramsey’s departure) and The Hampton Inn and Suites in Saratoga. Both of these great hotels have hired North Country to create flowers for their lobby and dining spaces and we are thrilled to work with them! 2012 is going to be a wonderful year!
January Bouquet Fest!
In January, business slows down a bit as everyone is indoors, staying warm, recharging after the busy holiday season. We do that too, but we also start looking forward to our summer/fall wedding season! In that spirit, we let our creativity out to play by making up as many “dream” bouquets as we can from the flowers we have on hand! Alicia has been a great sport (and a beautiful model!) She even painted her nails for the occasion! Wander through the portfolio and check out some of our January “dream” bouquets….one may be the perfect one for you!
“Enhance the Romance”
Happy snowy Saturday! (More like rain and sleet!) Do you like our new motto? Flowers are all about the romance, whether it is a bunch of “date night” posies, or anniversary flowers, or wedding bouquets…..there’s no denying that flowers bring happiness, recall great memories, and even bring comfort when we are sad. They remind us of the promise of Spring in the grip of the winter cold. Am I in the best business or what!
Come on in and bring some romance home with you!
Alicia’s Christmas Cube!
Fresh and fun are two words that come to mind about Alicia’s latest design! Made in a 5 1/2 inch glass cube, it combines green cymbidium orchids, green mini hydrangea, green carnations, red spray roses with green beads and red flat wire! Great job, Alicia!
James, Alicia, and Randy Create!
James, one of our students from Greenwich, paid us a return visit before Christmas to create a holiday flower arrangement. Randy and Alicia were on hand to help, and a grand time was had by all! Good going James!
