Happy Halloween From FSN!

At Flower Shop Network, we never let a day of fun and entertainment pass us by! This Halloween is no different, and we had quite a few people participate in our annual costume contest. From pop culture to historically hilarious, high brow to powerfully pun-y, we pulled out all the stops! Scroll on down to see the hordes of insanity invading the FSN halls!

No, that’s not a man with pipe-cleaners growing out of his face. It’s an extremely hairy FSN logo! Excellent costume, Kier!

Cookies and candy. Does it get any deader, I mean better, than this?

Say “Boo” With Blooms!

Halloween is creeping ever closer. How are you celebrating this year? Treat-or-treating with the kids? Dressing up for a costume party? Or cuddling on the couch with a spooky flick?

However you spend your All Hallow’s Eve, be sure to share the enchantment of one of the best holidays of the year. Seriously, what other time of the year embraces magic, fall-inspired sweet delights, and good-natured pranking?

Say “boo” to someone special this year! Surprise them with a colorful arrangement that will take their breath away and cause screams of delight from everyone around. After all, beautiful florals can be so bewitching! Also fresh-cut flowers are perfect for hostess gifts and decorating your home.

A fun trick is to order your flowers early, enjoy them for a couple weeks
and by the time the party rolls, add some cobwebs and spiders to wilted flowers for some great haunted decor!

Know a friend or family with a monstrous sweet-tooth? Send treats from far away with themed candy baskets. Just because they aren’t close enough to knock on your door for trick-or-treating doesn’t mean you can’t reach out and say a warm hearted “Happy Halloween!”

Orange, black, purple and green are the best color combos for this holiday. Balloons and fun stuffed animals are a perfect greeting for your favorite ghouls and goblins too.

Have a spooktacular Halloween and don’t forget to use a real local florist for the most spell-binding treats.

Bewitching Blossoms

Perhaps one of my favorite designs in our Halloween Flowers section is the bewitching arrangement, Hocus Pocus. It’s just so different from the other designs and really POPs with other Halloween decor. I can just imagine a green witch dressed in purple and black, perched on her broom, flying through the night when I look at this design. What do you see?

Probably what really stand out most in this arrangement is the black pumpkins. You won’t find them in many flower arrangements, that’s for sure!

Vampire-themed Flowers? Why not!?

One of the hottest trends out right now just so happens to be vampires… Twilight, Trueblood, Vampire Diaries, the list goes on and on of newly popular vampire shows and movies. With Halloween coming up, why not use this new vampire trend to your advantage!

Easy Halloween Flowers Promotion

Create a special for your shop called Love At First Bite or something catchy. Use deep red roses and other dark colors, especially black, to create something unique and contemporary. Black, red or silver wire can be used as fun accents. Remember, most vampire fans are going to be around 12-30 years old, so have as much fun as you want.

Shop around your local crafts store for a few cheap Halloween decorations like vampire teeth, small skeletons, or anything black and red. Buy some inexpensive, black fishnet or lacy stockings to use around your vase or as ribbon.

Your vampire-themed floral would be an easy choice for a guy looking send flowers to his Twihard girlfriend.  This design would make a stunning sight at a Halloween party, or a great hostess gift!

To promote your newest special, post LOTS of pics on Facebook. (That’s definately where your vampire fans would be!) Also put photos of your festive Halloween flowers on your website. Use your pictures to make a quick flyer to advertise your special and hang them anywhere young people gather. (Local bookstores, college campuses, etc.) Remember to price it reasonably for this younger demographic to keep them flying off the shelves!

Vampire Lovers! If you are a vampire lover looking for flowers like the ones described in this post, call your local florist and recommend this article to them! I’m positive they will work with you to create something drop dead gorgeous (pun intended)!
