Win Flowers Once a Month For a Year!

Calendar Contest

Imagine receiving an arrangement from Fiori Floral Design once a month for a year!

This dream can be yours! We are giving away a floral arrangement each month for a year to one lucky person as a thank you for helping us select which photographs to use for our 2019 calendar. Every Monday for twelve weeks, beginning Sept 3, 2018, we will feature a series of photographs that are finalists for the calendar, beginning with the choices for January and going through December.

How To Enter: 

To enter a weekly drawing for a calendar as well as the Grand Prize of flowers once a month for a year, do the following:

1.  Like our Facebook page or follow us on Instagram or both, whichever platform that you are voting on;
2. In the comments of the original post, let us know which photograph you would like to see featured in the calendar for the month that is being voted on by indicating the letter denoting the photograph.

As long as you are a Fiori Floral Design follower on the same platform that you vote on, your vote will count as an entry into both our weekly and Grand Prize drawings. By the Wednesday of the following week, we will hold a random drawing from the prior week’s entries by our social media fans to select the winner of a copy of the calendar, once it is printed. Only one vote per social media platform per weekly contest will be counted for each of our followers. Only one calendar may be won per person for the duration of the contest.

At the end of twelve weeks each vote by our social media followers (up to one per platform, per week) will be entered into the drawing for our Grand Prize: Flowers once a month for a year! By voting on both social media platforms will qualify you for up to two entries per week.

Bonus entries:

For any of our fans who like our Facebook page and/or follow us on Instagram and vote on at least one social media platform every week for twelve weeks will receive bonus entries into the Grand Prize drawing equivalent to their total number of qualified votes, up to a maximum of 24 bonus entries! That means that if you vote on each platform, each week for all twelve weeks you will have 48 separate entries into the Grand Prize drawing!

The Grand Prize: 

One Fiori Floral Design arrangement delivered during the third week of each month beginning in January 2019 with the final arrangement being delivered in December 2019. Each month will be a custom “Designer’s Choice” arrangement created by the talented staff of Fiori Floral Design and delivered within our inner delivery area as defined below. You do not have to live within our inner delivery area to win but delivery is only available within our inner delivery area without additional charge. Delivery in areas that we would typically need to contract with another shop to fill is not available as part of this prize.

Restrictions:

The Grand Prize is not redeemable for cash; will not exceed more than one arrangement and delivery with an average of $100 in combined value in any calendar month; and may not be transferred out of the control of the winner of the Grand Prize drawing, although the drawing winner is welcome to have it delivered to another person of their own choosing. The Grand Prize Drawing winner will have 48 hours from the time that they are notified that they won to select an address within our delivery area to have the monthly arrangement delivered to. If the winner is unable to determine an address within our delivery area to have the arrangement delivered to then another winner will be selected. 

Requests for delivery on a specific date on any given month will be honored at the discretion of Fiori Floral Design if made by the tenth day of the month each month. Requests for specific flowers, greenery or containers will be honored at the discretion of Fiori Floral Design if they are made by the first day of the month for items that are readily available. Requests for delivery by a specific time on any given day will be honored if the winner pays the difference between the typical charge for delivery of $15 and the typical charge for a timed delivery to the requested zip code and the request is made a minimum of 72 hours in advance. We regret that delivery of the Grand Prize is not available under any circumstances between the dates of February 9^th and 17^th or May 7^th through 12^th, 2019.

Only comments that are made by individuals who are also publicly following us on the social media platform which they are voting on and whose comment indicates a preferred photograph in the grouping will count as an entry into the weekly or Grand Prize drawings. Businesses may vote for their favorite photographs but the votes will not be counted as entries into either the weekly or Grand Prize drawings. Merely liking a picture or post will not qualify for an entry into either drawing. 

Our inner delivery area is defined as the northern border of King County from Puget Sound in the west out to I-405 in the east, following Highway 202 down to the northern tip of Lake Sammamish, then following the western shore of Lake Sammamish until Squibbs Creek then heading west in a straight line that reaches to approximately 164^th Ave SE then heads directly south along 164^th Ave SE or its approximation until it reaches the southern edge of Lewis Creek Park. It follows a straight line from the southern edge of the park out to the eastern shore of Lake Washington, which it follows until Gene Coulon Memorial Beach Park’s southern border which it follows inland in a line going directly to I-405. The border follows I-405 south until it reaches Highway 167 which it then follows south to South 180^th Street. It then follows South 180^th Street due west to Puget Sound.

If delivery is desired outside of our inner delivery area we are happy to arrange delivery if the difference between our typical delivery charge of $15 and our typical cost of delivery to the requested delivery zip code is paid in advance as long as the delivery is between Everett, WA in the north and Olympia, WA in the South, Bremerton, WA in the West and Sammamish, WA in the East as long as the request is made by the first of each month. Alternately, for delivery between 148^th Street Southwest in Snohomish County, South 258^th Street in King County and 228^th Ave Southeast in King County with certain exclusions in the northeast and southeast corners we can deduct $5 from the value of the floral arrangement to cover the additional delivery charge. If delivery is not desired, the arrangement may be picked up in our studio with advance notice of at least 72 hours.

This prize is not available for delivery outside of the boundaries defined above. If you have questions about whether or not a specific address is within the boundaries defined above, please call us at (206) 329-3944 and we will be happy to let you know.

These three talented floral artists are joining forces to share their diverse styles in one weekend. This will be Francoise’s first ever teaching appearance in Seattle! Attendees will be immersed in each artist’s unique vision in a way that will encourage the discovery of your own unique style. No matter what your personal style is, you will learn valuable skills from three seasoned teachers.

Over the three days, attendees will engage in hands-on instruction with each instructor, learning techniques for flower care, color distribution, mechanics, botanical couture, and create an impressive woodland designed installation. The workshop will be documented by a professional photographer who will provide photographs with all rights for portfolio use and marketing.

What is Included:

We have packed a lot of value into the workshop. Attendees will benefit from guidance and encouragement from a team of seasoned instructors, social media exposure, and a package of professional photographs to use for your portfolio and marketing. The business discussion alone provides a rare opportunity for you to ask questions from professionals with over 50 years of combined experience. 

• Three days of hands-on instruction including personal time with each instructor. An explanation for why the instructors make each choice and which mechanics that are the best practice for the techniques being demonstrated so that the skills learned are easily transferable to each attendee's unique design style.
• A limited number of spaces will be offered so that each participant will have time to have meaningful interaction with each instructor. Feel free to ask about anything floral or business related during downtime.
• The floral arrangements, wearable art and major installation that are created during the workshop will be totally swoon-worthy. Each will be professionally photographed with copies of each attendees work transferred to them with the rights to use them for social media and marketing.
• Participants can learn during unstructured time how to take better pictures with their phone that are sure to win the internet.
• The opportunity to work with only foraged and locally grown flowers, many of which are grown by the instructors. All flowers, foliages, and containers used will be provided. You may keep every arrangement and wearable art piece that you create or the workshop team can donate it to a local women’s shelter if you are unable to take it home with you.
• A write up after the workshop on Flirty Fleurs Blog will mention each student with a photograph of their work and links to their website and social media accounts to increase their exposure.
• Lifelong friendships and community. Participants may decide what contact information and social media accounts they would like to share with the group so that everyone can stay in touch.
• Continental breakfast and a catered lunch each day.
• A gift basket of items personally selected by the instructors for their usefulness, helpful information, or because they are just plain fun.

We appreciate the trust that our customers have given us at all of the important moments of their life.

Our design team worked really went the extra mile to make sure that our offerings are diverse and each with the perfect finishing detail.

Our exclusive designs also showcase what is currently hot in floral design. We have several arrangements featuring garden roses, those ruffly, big balls of beauty. Our arrangement named Still Life is a relaxed garden style floral that is perfectly on point with current trends.

I know that some of our customers will be ordering one for themselves!

Our Signature Rose Arrangement

Hearts Roses

Mayra Garden Roses

Every year we like our dozen rose arrangements to be taken to the next level for Valentine's Day. This year we have chosen two gorgeous roses to do just that. For red roses, we have chosen Hearts; a deep red, petal dense rose that opens to reveal a heart shape inside. It is just gorgeous and looks like a garden rose. We are also offering Mayra, a true garden rose in a stunning shade of pink. 

The roses are arranged into hydrangeas and accented with pieris japonica and fruited tree ivy. A trio of cymbidium orchids add a luxurious finish to an already stunning arrangement. We are using a simple white glass cylinder vase to complement the hydrangeas but keep the focus on the flowers. Each arrangement is available with twelve, eighteen and twenty four roses. The eighteen and twenty four rose arrangements also have an additional stem of hydrangea for an even more lush look. 

Approximately 14 inches wide and 18 inches tall.

May we suggest pairing our Signature Roses with a gift box of truffles from local chocolatier Dilettante Chocolates?

Pink Outside The Box

Parents are told that they are never to say that they have a favorite child. Fortunately floral designers are not held to the same standard. While I love all of my children, Pink Outside The Box is special. Maybe it is the White Cloud garden roses combined the Sweet Avalanche rose. Or maybe I just love the pink hat box which we have accented with striped ribbon and a crystal brooch. Whatever it is Pink Outside The Box - you are special to me!

Starstruck

Our Texture Boxes were immediately popular when we introduced them in 2011 but Starstruck is the first time that we have offered a tropical variation. I have to say, I really love it! ❤️ We always have associated tropical with beaches, perhaps because those are the popular tropical tourist destinations, so we added starfish and a sand dollar to finish tying in a beach vibe. I think it worked spectacularly! Texture Boxes are so much fun to create because they offer so many layers of design. Elements are chosen so that there is a variety of sizes, shapes and textures in every box. From every angle that you look at them you will see something new. Our Texture Boxes are also gender neutral so whether your beloved is male or female, they are going to love it! And I guess you could say that I am starstruck by Starstruck.

A sixteen piece gift box of Dilettante Chocolate's truffles would complement Starstruck perfectly!

Starstruck - $125

Hearts Mosaics

Don't just give her your heart this Valentine's Day; give her hundreds of hearts in a random pattern on our Hearts Mosaic vase.

We were the first florist in Seattle to teach floral design classes in our studio. Since 2007, hundreds of students have taken our classes and learned valuable tips. Our methods are simple and the techniques are easy to put into use in most styles of floral design. Many students have gone on to pursue a career in floral design, while others have put their new skills to use creating beautiful arrangements for personal enjoyment and as gifts.  Here is what some of them have said about the classes::

"I have had the distinct pleasure of ordering and receiving floral creations from Fiori Floral Designs and Miles Johnson on multiple occasions and the arrangements are always breath taking. Knowing the quality of design of Fiori creations I was privileged to take a peony arranging class from Miles and I learned more than I had any idea I did not know about flower arranging. I was astounded and delighted with the results. I went home that evening with much more than a beautiful arrangement; I left with the confidence, knowledge, and tools to continue making lovely floral arrangements for friends and myself. The class was a truly enlightening and uplifting experience that I value greatly to this day. I highly recommend Fiori Floral Designs to all my family and friends."                                                         - Mary M.  06-06-2017

"Amazing class! Learned SO much! Thank you!"                                                            - Kathryn M. 11-3-2017

"I took a class and had a great time learning and making a beautiful arrangement, for sure it won't be my only class. 5 stars"                                                       - Nayeli S. 06-16-2017

"Thank you for such a wonderful class on Tuesday night. You are a great teacher, and I truly appreciated your tips and thoughtful supplies. I look forward to future classes with Fiori!"                                                       - Tara S.
