It's Poinsettia Parade Time!

This weekend starts poinsettia parade time!  Officially, the poinsettia plants are ready for sale.  They have been grown with copious amounts of TLC in our greenhouses... we fed them, we watered them, we pinched them... and it's a beautiful crop.  We will have our 14 varieties of poinsettias identified so you can see what's new and what's classic.  Pick up poinsettia care sheets.  Remember we are open Sundays 10-4 through December 23rd so stop by!

Holiday Decorating Time

 Our decorating crew at Waukesha Floral is just wrapping up our commercial business accounts and is in full swing making homes look beautiful for the season.

Many of our commercial accounts have color schemes that are nontraditional; such as these beautiful orange, gold and copper trees and wreaths.  Many of our homes like the traditional look of green, red, silver and gold.  We have done any color imaginable on our Christmas items, all made to enhance their surroundings and add festivity and fun.

If your business could use some new decorations, our group is ready with new ideas and can implement them for you.  Just give us a call.

Happy Thanksgiving...Greenhouse Pictures...Small Business Saturday!

Waukesha Floral wishes you a very happy Thanksgiving day!  If you need anything for your table, we have some gorgeous centerpieces and blooming plants available.  We will be closed on Thursday to celebrate with our families and friends.

Remember to visit this weekend and see the glorious beauty of our poinsettias!  In fact, this Saturday and Sunday, Nov. 24-25, you can have your holiday photos taken for free by Art's Cameras Plus in our poinsettia-filled greenhouse!  Suzi from Art's will be here from noon to 3 p.m. this weekend, so bring the family and get ready to say "holiday cheese"!

Don't forget Saturday, November 24th is the shopping day to support "Small Business Saturday".  We have some great gifts for the holidays and those beautiful flowers too!  Stop by and see us. Also, we are open Sundays now through December 23rd, 10-4.

Special Funeral Tributes

 Helping create funeral tributes is a privilege for the designers at Waukesha Floral.  This past weekend Denise and Marty created a butterfly and a teddy bear to celebrate the life of a dearly loved lady.  This type of design is called "set work", and begins with a  styrofoam or Oasis floral foam base in the shape of the design.  The base is attached to an easel and completed with flowers, almost like the old paint-by number pictures.  In this case, Denise chose spring colored flowers and used Gerbera daisies as a focal point.  She accented the butterfly with spirals of colored wire.  The teddy bear is composed of all white cushion mums with a pink ribbon and pink flowers.  Making these designs is both labor intensive and requires a fairly large amount of flower heads, but we think the memorial tribute is both memorable and meaningful for the family and friends of this special lady.

Thanks to everyone who came out for our holiday open house last weekend, and congratulations to Mary, Renee and Lori, winners of our door prizes.  For those who didn't make it last weekend, we still have plenty of holiday items to choose from, and our poinsettia crop is beginning to color up nicely!  For the holidays, we are open on Sunday from 10-4, so stop by soon.
