This bright flower arrangement has been donned “Sunny Day” because the bright contrast of the yellow against the blue is like the bright hot sun against a pure blue sky. June has been quite a rainy month, so we thought it would be a nice touch to make an outrageously bright bouquet available for those of you sending the ever popular “Hope this brightens your day” floral table arrangement.

Summer is OFFICIALLY here. I’ve been saving this post for the day when I could start with that. I realize you might be thinking – wait…is this about floral fashions and floral jewelry, or summer flower arrangements? – and to that I would reply “BOTH!” Imagine my excitement when I was walking down the streets of New York City early one morning with my breakfast (coffee), and I saw a Tiffany’s ad with some beautiful floral jewelry. New York, Tiffany’s, flowers, coffee… amazing.
Summer in New York! Weddings! Flowers! It’s that time of year, and one of the main concerns of the bride and groom (other than living happily ever after together) is that their wedding and reception flow nicely. That flow includes timing, seating, m

etween hand delivering wonderfully large and fragile flower arrangements through zooming traffic in the streets of New York and handling sharp tools, cacti and thorn covered rose stems, we are actually susceptible to many injuries! Luckily, we are trained professionals and don’t find ourselves in troublesome situations very often.

I’ve been thinking a lot about what to write during this beautiful season for flowers.
