Valentine's Day 2010 - Romance in Paradise

It's hard to believe that Valentine's Day is only a month away! It seems just a couple of months ago we were working late to finish romantic arrangements for delivery the next day. Valentine's Day will be here before you know it so we thought we would start sharing with you some of the romantic creations we are offering this year.

Every year we create a few limited edition floral arrangements to offer for Valentine's Day. This year, I think we have come up with some of the most beautiful designs and best values we have ever offered. The first of these is our tropical offering.

Romance in Paradise

This arrangement makes us think of warmer days spent on a beach on vacation. Add a tropical drink and you've got paradise. We combined pincushion proteas, Black Bacarra roses, oncidium orchdis, acacia, asclepias and ming fern for an arrangement that is warm and textural. All of these are arranged in a red, frosted glass vase.

This beautiful floral works well for customers wanting to give something a little less traditional and works well for men and women. Available in two sizes; small (right) for $90 to $115 and large (left) for $120 and up.



Available for delivery beginning February 10th.

Our sister store, Lavender & Vine Florists, has many beautiful arrangements for Valentine's Day as well. Click here to see them.


Valentine's Day Hours
We will be open Saturday, February 13th from 9 to 5 and Sunday, February 14th from 9 until 2 with delivery available both days.

A Beautiful Winter Floral

We created this stunning winter floral for a client as a memorial tribute. We love the lush, northwest elements present in this bouquet: the wild, lichen-covered branches, the soft hush of blue spruce and seeded eucalyptus, densely packed. The white hydrangea encourages the bright, apple-green chrysanthemums and chartreuse cymbidium orchids to stand out amidst this deep forest of leaf and branch.

A memorial is both a gesture of farewell and a celebration of life for the loved one who has passed; as such, we wanted a bouquet expansive enough in texture and palette to express a gentle quietude as well as a joyous vibrancy for the life being mourned. This unique combination of floral elements allowed this to happen.

Holiday Wreaths

Each year we create dozens of custom decorated wreaths for our clients. They make a wonderful gift and are a great addition to a home's holiday decor.

Our wreaths are hand-decorated with fruit, cones and ribbon. Options include apples, pears and citrus varieties.

Pricing:

20 to 24 Inch Wreath - $100

24 to 28 Inch Wreath - $130
28 to 32 Inch Wreath - $165

The wreaths take time to create so please allow a minimum of 48 hours for delivery. Dimensions are exterior dimension and will vary with each wreath.

Flower Delivery Anywhere in the World

Many times we are asked if we can ship our flowers to another state. While we can deliver from Everett to Olympia, flowers don't travel well in the postal system. We can do the next best thing; work with a florist in another town to have a high quality floral delivered for you.
We are a member of an invitation-only wire service where only the best florists are asked to join. Our partner florists are the best of the best, ensuring that the floral that is delivered for you is something you can be proud of.

Tell us the occasion and your budget and we will work with a local florist to have flowers delivered on your behalf. Every detail will be handled, so you don't have to think about a thing. For orders out of the US, you won't need to worry about currency conversion, translation or local customs.

Order before 11:00 p.m. in the recipient's time zone to assure same-day delivery. Orders received after that time will be delivered the following day. Please allow an additional 24 hours for deliveries immediately prior to and immediately following any public holiday, including Valentine's Day and Mother's Day.

We always recommend ordering at least 48 hours in advance for deliveries outside of North America. Please call the store directly for international orders so we can take care of every detail. Minimums for international orders are higher.

We'd be happy to take care of your out of town order and we'll treat it just as if it were one of our own.
