Third Annual Ladies Night - Howl at the Moon

Ladies night was once again a "howling" success! A good time was had by all, enhanced by the Brew Crew winning an important playoff game that night.

Our "Palette of Blooms" show featured local artwork from The Almont Gallery and Gallery One, and our designers interpretted each masterpiece in flowers. We came up with some beautiful and unusual things, and I will blog more about them in the near future.

Our lady guests also enjoyed chair massages from Therapeutic Touch of Brookfield, cakes from Rich's Cakes in Meadowbrook Plaza, chocolate samples from Indulgence Chocolatiers, pastries from Sweet Perfections, and make up consultations from our friends at Mary Kay. Everyone received a bolt of ribbon, candles, flowers and valuable coupons as a thank you for coming.

This pictures shows some of our guests working on a community artwork piece, weaving and tying ribbons on a giant frame. For more pictures, please see our Waukesha Floral & Greenhouse FaceBook Page.

If you are interested in being invited to our ladies night and receiving other monthly offers, please email jane@waukeshafloral.com with your name and email address.

Downtown Milwaukee Planters at City Center


Here's a picture of some fall planters designed by Planteriors of Wisconsin, our plant rental and maintenance division of Waukesha Floral. The stacked pots catch your attention, not only for the beautiful flowers and fall leaves and Kale, but because most people wonder, "how did they do that?" An iron rod is placed into the planter and the clay pots are "stacked" through the holes in the bottoms of the pots and then planted after being stacked. Based on the number of compliments and people stopping to take pictures of the planters, it is obvious that public flowers and art are really appreciated by all. Kudos to Compass Properties for recognizing this and asking us to do the job for them. If you're down by 735 N. Water Street, stop and take a look!

Permanent Flower Displays



It's nice to have a fresh look in your business or retail space with seasonal permanent flowers. Here is an example of a seasonal rotation of flowers provided to a veterinary clinic in the Milwaukee area. This was their summer look, and we have just installed their fall flowers. They also have a holiday look, winter, and spring. We provide the flowers and install them, and store their seasonal arrangements for them.
