At the end of your event you can even hold a drawing for the centerpieces or give them away as a memorable keepsake.

Structure Floral Design-(Swags, Garlands, Custom Designs)

~for banister railings, doorways, stages, fireplace, etc.~ Flowers can be designed to compliment any structure for your special event. If possible, your florist may like to visit your event venue to take measurements and make the appropriate recommendations for floral designs customized for structures.

High Style Floral Design-

These unique designs can be in vases, urns or other special containers. They are commonly used on Foyer Tables, Pedestals, Stages and Head Tables for dramatic effect. A high style floral arrangement is blooming modern art, impressive for any special event.

Another Creative idea is to have corsages and/or boutonni res made for your guests of honor, hosts and speakers. They will compliment the other flowers at your event, and double as a token of appreciation for your distinguished guests. Call your local florist today for details. The possibilities are endless!

Tenley McDonald- Former Florist- Now Co-Owner of Flower Power Network (Online Directory of Real Local Florists) Ms. McDonald has over 14 years experience in ~Consumer Relations/Marketing ~Customer Service Management ~Floral Design.

As former florists, we witnessed all too often "Order Gatherers" taking advantage of consumers. They purchase ads in your local yellow pages, they buy sponsored ads in major search engines online, they create websites that lead you to believe that they are a local florist. These companies often work in a call center, far removed from the recipient of your flower gift.

These companies will process your $60.00 floral arrangement order and pass it on to a local florist at a value of $43.00. You paid $60.00! It just doesn?t make sense. We find these companies to be misleading and dishonest. They would never tell you that the value of your arrangement is compromised. They are happy to process your order and keep a portion of your money. Consumers deserve better.

Always make sure you are dealing directly with a REAL local florist to get the best value and better service!
