April 15, 2016 by Rachel Brantley Leave a Comment

We are excited to congratulate Elizabeth Ann Florist and Gift Shop on 60 years in the floral business, making it the longest operating retail business in Oconee County. This shop took the celebration to the next level with many fun and creative festivities for their friends and customers!

To kick off the anniversary the family was featured in the Watkinsville Christmas Parade. Right after the parade they celebrated with a, “60 years of Flowers and Friendships” birthday party. The Mayor, Charles Ivie, read and presented the flower shop with a Proclamation from the City of Watkinsville. Family, friends, and customers all attended along with their minister, Dr. Rev. Teresa Angle-Young who blessed the business.

The shop also hosted social media campaign throughout the 59 days leading up to the official birthday. During the campaign they gave away prizes, made donations to programs in their local community, and highlighted old newspaper articles and memorabilia.

One Facebook post included a picture of a special birthday card the shop received on their 35th anniversary from President and Mrs. Reagan!

Elizabeth Ann Yarbrough started the business in her home in 1955. She attended floral design school in Atlanta, GA and the shop is now operated by her son and daughter-in-law, Bill and Lynne Yarbrough and their son, Paul. It is located on North Main Street in historic Downtown Watkinsville, GA.

Thank you for your dedication to superior quality and professional service throughout the years!

High-End Design with Bella Grace Floral

December 21, 2015 by Tanya Giraldo Leave a Comment

Nancy Staples, owner of Bella Grace Floral, wanted a flower shop that was very different from anything in her area. Now, three years after she purchased Bella Grace, her shop focuses on making custom high-end designs for anyone in her community.

Staples began her love for flower design when she was a little girl and her grandparents owned a flower shop. After having a career in banking, Staples knew she wanted to change things up and pursue her love of floral design. She took over the 20-year-old flower shop and has made it a successful business with reputable design. Three years later, Bella Grace Floral is recognized as a high-end florist in the Cornelius, North Carolina area.

As the leading floral provider for NASCAR, Bella Grace is the premier shop for weddings, sympathy and everything in between. They work closely with clients of a variety of budgets to make their floral vision come to life.

Bella Grace 1 As a local florist, Bella Grace has a huge focus on its customers. Having loyal customers who have been coming to the shop for 20 years, since before Staples took over, Staples believes her shop has a real responsibility in maintaining the quality of their product and offering the best in design. It is because of these loyal customers that Staples loves being a local florist.

For a quality florist who has a passion for creating sophisticated design for local customers, you get that and more with Bella Grace Floral.

Quality Blooms From Severna Flowers

November 18, 2015 by Tanya Giraldo Leave a Comment

Bill Dyott knows quality flowers come from a shop with experience. Since 1977, Severna Flowers and Gifts in Severna Park, Maryland, has pushed their shop to design arrangements to be proud of and to reflect the years of experience in the business. From prom corsages to funeral sprays, this full-service, family-owned shop continues to put smiles on the community it loves.

A Shop That Stands Out

What sets this shop apart, according to Dyott, is the quality of the blooms and the drive for excellent customer service. Severna’s reputation is evident. Voted The Best of Severna Park three years in a row by the “Severna Park Voice,” there is no doubt that this shop is beloved by its community.

Local Rocks!

Dyott loves being a local florist! Everyday he creates beauty that makes someone smile, he said. What he enjoys the most is the relationship he has with his customers. “They are customers that are part of the community and they become our friends,” Dyott said.

Severna Flowers and Gifts continues to bring smiles to everyone in the Severna Park community and their goal is to always go the extra mile. From “just because” to wedding flowers, Severna Flowers has it all!

A Floral Milestone

June 5, 2015 by Tanya Giraldo Leave a Comment

In the flower shop business, it’s hard to lose sense of time. Each season brings in new decorations and new floral occasions, but sometimes one can realize out of the blue that time really goes by fast. This is the case with Bloomingtons Flower Shop in Universal City, Texas who are celebrating 10 years with Flower Shop Network this year.

Experience in Design

As a full service flower shop, Bloomingtons has experience in a variety of design types, but specializes in funeral flowers.

With 25 years of combined experience, this team has designed for weddings, special events, and has created wonderful works of art for sympathy tributes and funerals.

Their creative talents definitely show through their intricate memorial designs and this shop also carries a variety of gift options to pair with a bouquet.

A Shop To Count On

While their design is easy to admire from their many pictures on their website and Facebook page, what makes Bloomingtons really stand out is their phenomenal customer service and attention to delivery. One customer was amazed their flowers were delivered just in time for the holiday.

“This was the first year in a long time that a florist actually delivered, on time, what they promised. The arrangement was big and beautiful and full of excellent quality flowers. The driver actually called before delivery and was very polite. I could not have been more happy with the flowers that were delivered.”

With great service and a talent for design, Bloomingtons Flower Shop will continue to provide Universal City, Texas with quality arrangements for many years to come!
