The reception venue was changed the day before!


Originally we planned 3 different spheres to go on each of 14 long reception tables. In other words, 3 per table for a total of 42 spheres. When we found out on Friday afternoon that the reception venue was changed, we really had to come up with a different game plan!

These spheres featured white dendrobium orchids and galax leaves atop eiffel towers filled with cracked ice.









Jamie's bridesmaids carried callas and bear grass accented with variegated flax foliage. The handle was encircled with beaded wire. For a more contemporary look, the bouquets were carried with the flowers spilling downward.

Jamie's Wedding 8-7-10


Jamie's beautiful wedding coincided with our Shop's 9th anniversary. Her bouquet featured white oriental lilies, creamy Vendela roses and callas accented with Limelight hydrangea from my garden. The hand-tied bouquet was accented with cream double-faced ribbon and lush pearl beading.

Volunteers Making Smiles


Today, six volunteers came to The Flowersmith shop to fill 75 mugs will pretty yellow and white daisies. Under the direction of my staff, they finished the task in only 3 hours. What a team! Two gals won aprons and all got free lottery tickets and Smiley doodle pads. Finger food made the work seem like fun!

Make Someone Smile


Each year Teleflora donates the mugs and we donate flowers and materials to bring smiles to people in our community. Today two members of the Sounds of Pittsburgh Chorus and four members of Kennedy Garden Club came to our shop and volunteered their time to fill Be Happy mugs with pretty daisies.
Know someone who needs a smile? We deliver smiles every day!
