Testimonial By E-mail

Angela,

I was at the memorial service and saw the flower arrangements. And, you are right, they were gorgeous! Thank you so much for your extraordinary work on both of the arrangements I ordered. This has been such a difficult time and your sensitive and individual attention was greatly appreciated.

Please let me know how I can publicize your terrific talent and caring service. I would be happy to do so. Again, thank you so very much.

What do the Flowers he chooses for your Bouquet say?

Many men choose to express their blossoming love through flowers. Most flowers are coded with meaning that have been passed down through the centuries. In the Victorian era, when courting was more restrictive, a fresh bouquet could do all the dirty talking for you. But what does the arrangement you got on Valentine’s Day say about your relationship? If your flowers could speak, this is what they’d say about your man…

Do you always have to bring a hostess gift? Surprising answers from an etiquitte poll.

Do You Always Have to Bring a Hostess Gift When You’re Invited to Someone’s House for Dinner?


Readers say:

Of course: 49.7%
No, just follow up with a thank-you note: 33%
Only if it’s a fancy dinner: 17.3%

Experts say: “Hostess gifts aren’t necessarily mandatory at less formal functions,” says Robin Abrahams, who writes the Miss Conduct social-advice column in The Boston Globe Magazine, “but it’s always nice to bring one to show the host or hostess you appreciate the hours they have been slaving over your meal” Remember: Flowers may be brought wrapped in bouquet form or in a vase, as well as a centerpiece.

How Should You Seat Guests at a Dinner Party?

Readers say:
Let them pick their own seats: 54.6%
Boy, girl, boy, girl: 28.8%
No married couples together: 16.6%

Experts say: “There are no longer any rules,” says Anna Post, a great-great-granddaughter of Emily Post , backing up the majority of readers. But for large gatherings, she says, “a host might still want to arrange the seating to prevent predinner musical chairs.” People should be seated with the goal of creating lively conversation, whether that means seating couples together or not.

If You Receive a Birth Announcement, Do You Have to Send a Gift?

Readers say:
No, only if you’re good friends with the couple: 21 %
Yes, every time: 73.9%
Never: 5.1%

Experts say: “Baby announcements, along with graduation and wedding announcements, don’t carry the expectation of a gift,” says Post. “Still,” she says, “as with all happy events, you certainly should send flowers".

Ordering Advice: What to tell Your Florist

Ordering Advice: What to Tell Your Florist

Florists are experts in many areas but they can’t read minds. So if you have specific flower or color preferences, be sure to communicate that to your florist. And don't worry if you are not familiar with the names of the thousands of flowers available. By following these simple tips from the Society of American Florists, you can order flowers from a florist with confidence: When ordering floral gifts, describe the recipient's personality type, as well as his/her favorite hobbies or colors if you know them. Your florist can match the floral arrangement with the recipient's personality. Tell your florist if the gift is for a special occasion (birthday, anniversary or other personal milestone). He or she can offer suggestions on how to best celebrate with flowers. If the flowers are for decorating or entertaining, describe the environment where the arrangement will be placed so your florist can create an arrangement that complements the style and colors of your home. Consider bringing in your own vase or container for an added personal touch. Ask your florist for specific colors or color themes. Let your florist know if you prefer a mixed flower arrangement or an arrangement made up of just one type of flower. Provide your florist with the necessary basic information - the name, full address and phone number of the recipient, the delivery date, your card message and payment information. Whether sending flowers across the country or around the corner, your florist provides the expertise, convenience and service today's on-the-go consumers are looking for.
