Press on Twin Soup

We were flattered to have our opening announced on Twin Soups website. The article is very cute and explains how we are different yet offer the same services as other florists.  We just want to be a little unique and offer a bit more unique designs that convey the right message.

We are in the process of making our website better.  This picture will eventually be attached to our home page. We love how Jenn Bartell captured the feeling of our flowers in this photo.  For now I wanted to share with everyone the inside of our floral studio.  Garden of Weedon has now been located on K street for 2 months.  The space is beginning to feel like home.  We are enjoying having a larger space to design and the interaction of the midtown shoppers and the midtown business people in general. 

If you have not been into our Sacramento floral studio we offer the following:

Everyday Retail Bouquets and Designs, Wedding and Event Design, and Design Classes

Special Days at Garden of Weedon Designs:

Tuesday:  Tuesday Ties ( inexpensive hand wrap bouquets)

              Friday:     Five O'Clock Fridays ( 1/2 off flower stems from 5-6pm)

We are also carrying organically grown flowers from a local grower.

Flower Terrarium

ONE OF OUR WEEKLY ACCOUNTS

I just wanted to highlight one of our weekly accounts.  I liked the way this came out to look like a flower terrarium  This is just one idea when you are designing with such a large vase to incorporate the middle of the vase into the design. 

July Second Saturday

Marques Cameron was our first "out of house" artist for second Saturday in our business.  This young man is talented, creative, passionate, and truly a gentleman.  We could not have asked for a better first artist to show their work in our space.  We had so much fun and were very excited as his "Coltrane" painting was swept away in seconds by a second Saturday art shopper.  Thank You Marques Cameron for displaying your work in our studio this month.  Here are some pictures to see what Second Saturday is all about in our studio space! 

Josefina and Victor June 5th 2010

Congratulations Josefina and Victor.  This couple was married in the beautiful St. Mathews Church in San Mateo, CA. Josefina's bouquet consisted of Hydrangea, Burgundy Peonies, Ivory Roses, and Mango Calla Lilies. 

The church was on a grand scale.  The Altar pieces were so tall we finished them on site.  Check out the cieling above the altar in the photo below. 

The girls had beautiful persimmon dresses and bouquets were designed out of white cushion mums, mango callas, and burgundy peonies.

How could I resist a picture of the Flower Girl.

Flower Therapy Class

Have you ever wondered how those POMANDER (kissing balls) are put together?  Well, it is not simple as I learned about 3 different methods until I found the right way.  Many times you will see these pomander balls used in wedding ceremonies, but their history is from when they were made from oranges with cloves in them to make spaces more fragrant and then transitioned into being used during the Christmas holiday when people would make them out of mistletoe and hang them for kissing under.  Now in modern day we see them used frequently in wedding ceremonies. 

Join us at GARDEN OF WEEDON DESIGNS on July 24th to design your own pomander ball with green carnations for that fresh summer feeling.  The balls can be hung or placed simply on your table or on top of a vase. 

Join us for Flower Therapy on July 24th in our new Design Studio from 10-12am.  Fees are $65.00 per person and pre-enrollment is required.  Sign up by July 21st!  Call to register:  706-1337
