Almost Nothing Beats Flower Delivery





We may be a little biased, but don't you think it's true? Almost nothing beats flowers delivered to you. At home or at work, or anywhere else for that matter -- flowers brighten up your day and the people around you a well.

I thought it would be fun to see what people are saying about flower delivery on Twitter, where you get hear thoughts from people all over the world. Let's see what they're saying…


doorbell just rang with a flower delivery! aww i love himmm :D 
My neighbour has my flower delivery and there gone out !!! I want them !!! :-( 
Just got a flower delivery sent from one very fine young man- my amazing son away at college. Wow. Just Wow. 
Me: ooh a flower box, hope its going to my desk! Delivery guy: lol Me: no...seriously...(looks at box) yep, I sit right over there sir

Just as I predicted...

Retail offerings are completely unpredictable! As we began developing the new look and feel of our retail space, I was uncertain what would appeal to our customers. 
Now I know! Compendium Books.
I have a difficult time keeping them on the shelves.  They are beautiful and inspiring and just what most of us need on a daily basis! Here is our number one best seller...


WARNING: If you buy one, you'll most likely be back to pick up a couple of more. They are the perfect gift for all the special people in your life. I gave one to my 20 year old son for Christmas and he loves it!

Live inspired!

We carry Paddywax Candles!


I absolutely love these candles! They look and smell so fresh.
Of course there is nothing like the fragrance of fresh flowers, but these
stylish little candles come awfully close. Lovely new flavors for spring are in!
(Anyone else tiring of winter?)



my personal favorite little pick me up for friends...

Brown Floral's 1st contest! Give these arrangements a name and win a Paddy Wax tin Candle!

How do we look?

Angela Williams of Polish Design helped us with our "new look". It was truly one of the hardest things we have done so far (keep in mind we haven't had a Valentine's day yet!) We weren't about to change the name of the business since Brown Floral has such a rich heritage. But the purple Iris looked a little dated so we set out to re-brand. Angela helped us along in our journey. We discovered that finding just the perfect look for your business takes a lot of effort but here's what she created for us and we love it!



Tell us what you think!

"Oh my! The flowers...stunning! The prettiest I have ever seen!" -Kim

The best thing about buying Brown Floral is that all of the employees stayed with us with the exception of a driver. We are so fortunate to have such a talented group of gals on our team!  We have added Tiffany Larson who took the lead on this wedding. It turned out absolutely beautiful. These are pictures of Kim Green's wedding that was held at the Millcreek Inn on December ___th, 2010. Congratulations Kim!




Check back for professional photos!

An emotional tribute

With the passing of Susie's father-in-law, we saw her talent shine through the dust of the remodel as she carefully prepared for his funeral.  She thoughtfully prepared each piece to honor him.  Her love for him and her art was so impressive.



A Dream and a Nightmare

What 95 year old doesn't need face lift? Of course Brown Floral has been in several locations over the years, but it has been located in this Holladay location for close to 20 years and it is ready for a major remodel. This is definitely a situation where pictures are worth a 1000 words...
