Just Because...

 Did you know that June is the national month for roses and smiling? Honor both holidays by making someone smile by sending roses! Sometimes the best reason to send flowers is just because!

Ensuring the Future Generation Has Money for Flowers!

We were excited to join  up with great businesses such as Home Depot, Market Street Grill, Einstein's Bagel, and many more, to help sponsor Granite School District's First Annual "How to Talk to Your Teens About Money," held at Churchill Junior High School. Larry Schmidt of Primerica did an awesome job at teaching the fundamentals of talking to your teens about finances. This Compendium book was the perfect fit for our donation to the financial literacy evening, here is a short video clip to give you a little peak inside this wonderful book... it would make a FABULOUS gift for your Grad or Dad!

Big Brothers Big Sisters of Utah

We were so privileged to have the opportunity to be a part of the Big Brothers Big Sisters 4th Annual Chef & Child Gala held at the Salt Lake City Center Hilton. This was a wonderful benefit dinner for a truly inspirational organization that seeks to provide mentors for children facing adversity, offering them better relationships to help foster higher aspirations, greater confidence, and educational success. It was truly an honor to contribute an arrangement to the charity auction, and lend our support to Big Brothers Big Sisters of Utah as they continue to change the lives of countless children!

For information on how you can donate, volunteer, enroll a child, or learn more about their program and upcoming events, visit their website at www.bbbsu.org/

Give to Get To Give Again

The Women in business spring social was amazing. Chris Redgrave of Zion's Bank's "Speaking on Business" radio program was the keynote speaker. She gave us so many great take aways. My personal favorite,
"Give to get to give again". What a phenomenonal philosophy. It was an honor to present her with a beautiful bouquet of flowers. She is so deserving. She is an inspiration to all!

There's Some People You Just Can't Outshine!

Kyle Whittingham was the guest speaker at the Chamber Lunch that we recently sponsored. As is the tradition, the business that sponsors the lunch has an opportunity to talk briefly about their business. What a great opportunity! Except that everyone including me, was way more interested in hearing Kyle talk about the University of Utah's football news! It sounds like we're in for a fantastic season! Go Utes!!!

Thinking Outside the Box

How do you turn grief into a healing process?

 Show your respect and sympathy. Flower delivery to the funeral home will comfort the bereaved. Although you can't take away their grief, you can create an atmosphere of support and understanding by sending flowers. Feelings of warmth and caring are created when flowers are delivered to the funeral home from Brown Floral.           

You can trust Brown Floral to create a memorial arrangement that expresses your heartfelt sympathy and deliver it to the service or the home in a timely manner.
 Here are some simple guidelines to insure perfect delivery.

•Know the full name of the deceased.
                  
•Know the date of the viewing and the service.

•Know the name and location of the funeral home.

•Let us know if it is designated for a
  particular family member.

Here comes the Bride...s!

It's that time of year again where brides call and come in to talk about their wedding flowers. We thought we'd post a quick guideline of things to bring to your consultation. An organized bride who has given some thought to her floral desires before coming in will have a much more productive meeting than one who has not taken the time to give it some thought!

Item #1 -
Bring a list of the florals that you will need. Nothing is worse than a bride who answers the question "how many brides maids do you have?" by counting them on her fingers!

Item #2 -
Pictures of both bridal gown and brides maids dresses. The more we can get a feel for your style, the better.

Items #3 -
Floral inspiration pictures. This is really a must. Collect pictures of flowers that show your style. A picture is truly worth a thousand words and most brides do not know the name of many flowers. What better way to show the texture, color, style and size of each flower element than showing us pictures. We highly recommend TheKnot.com and other sources for finding great, real wedding photos. Most online sources even let you search by color and season!

Also, if there are flowers or styles you don't really care for, photos of them as a "Don't" are helpful also. Remember, we are trying to get into your head, as quickly and efficiently as possible during your consultation.

Item #4 -
Lastly but still importantly, come in with a budget. Here's were people get tripped up. They've been told, never tell them how much you are willing or able to pay but with your flowers, that is exactly what you should do. If a bride tells us what she needs, what general look and feel she wants, what colors and what season, We are much more likely to be able to give her suggestions to help her stick to her budget than show her things that blow the doors off of it! Your florist should be your partner. If you do not trust us to be honest with you, you probably should not even be coming for a consultation. We're not here to take advantage, we're here to help you create the wedding of your dreams!

A little piece of spring is in the cooler!

Tiffany created an arrangement that is giving us all spring fever!
