A Wedding "WOW"

We received this great note from the Mother of a recent Bride. . . .


Not sure who to address this to, but wanted to thank the lady who worked with Erica O. on her flower order for her wedding March 22nd. The bouquets were beautiful with the dark blue delphinium. This lady was the one who used peacock feathers in the brides bouquet and the boutonnieres. We had so many comments on how neat that was.
So thanks to all who helped with the design. Your talent and artistic touch helped make the wedding unique and beautiful.
Sincerely,
Erica O.'s Mom.

Mother's Day WOW!

This was a sweet note from a very appreciative customer that has really become a friend.

Dear Kathie,
Just had to thank you for my beautiful Mother's Day flowers. They are so beautiful, at night I put them in the guest room which is cool. The little gold heart was a sweet touch and will go in my memory end table. . . . . . .I really enjoyed meeting your husband and told him to tell you how much I liked the pictures and article in the paper. I cut it out and now you are in my garden book which I have had for many years. Told your husband how much I liked what he had to say in the article, "No, he didn't buy you flowers, he bought you a whole flower shop", and laughed.
Hope you had a nice Mother's Day, a bit on the tired side I bet, but great! Will stop in the shop when I get a chance.
Many Thanks.
Fondly,
Helen Kress

Important Mothers Day Notice

Especially For You Florist, as we have said is a Real Local Florist in Hoover Alabama. We take flower orders and hand deliver them to your wonderful Mother with a smile.

There is a gigantic marketing campaign going on for ProFlowers right now filled with false advertising. The primary falsity is the fact that the flowers are "cut from the field and shipped directly to you". They are not. Proflowers has major warehouses around the country where flowers are packed in boxes sitting and sitting and sitting waiting on you to call. This was proven in a lawsuit filed by FTD a couple years ago, yet somehow they continue to lie to the public.

Now, I would like you to checkout a test done by NBC4 in Washington DC that compares flowers shipped in a box with real florist flowers.

Needless to say, the real florist flowers won hands down.
