Vintage October Wedding (Belcroft Estates, Oct 18th 2014)

As always, the weather on that special Saturday was nothing like

the doom and gloom predicted all week. 

A perfect boutonniere for each gentleman, even the 2 sweet ring bearers.

 

A perfect bouquet of David Austin Roses, dusty miller, waxflower, poppy and scabiosa pods. If you look close, we have worked a locket into the bridal bow and a key into the groom’s boutonniere.

 

 The headtable arrangement is always the finest centerpiece. David Austin Roses, Orchids, Waxflower, Dusty Miller and a stunning mix of greens, herbs and berries.

Thank Yous and Reviews!

Spring Testimonial Drive and Raffle

I just realized today that I hadn’t updated our website “Testimonials Page” since mid 2009. What a disgrace, anyone viewing the page might think we had dropped dramatically in quality at that time, as we suddenly stopped getting compliments on our wedding work and daily designs! Zut Alors!

I immediately set about searching our email inbox for “thank you” and was blown away. In just February alone we received over 10 compliments from individual customers thanking us for a recent order or continued good service. It’s truly humbling to realize that your business has touched so many people in a positive way, we sincerely appreciate all of the kindness our customers have shown to our shop and its designers.

We’ve updated our page on the website, removing personal details from the senders of course. Unfortunately, some savvy web users don’t trust websites hand-picked selection of testimonials. We only have a few user pieces of user-generated feedback on Google and Yellow Pages, and hopefully we can change that this spring.

Brown’s Flowers is holding a Raffle ending Friday May 31st: Post a review of Brown’s Flower Shop’s products or services at one of the following websites and your name is entered into a draw for one of three 50$ Gift Certificates* that are good for any local products or local deliveries carried out by our shop. Use the review website of your choice, honesty is important so please mention any negative or positive traits you like, and once the review is live on the site you will be entered into our draw for the Gift Certificates.

Suggested Webpages for Reviews: (These are the one’s we’re checking, if you review us elsewhere please let us know)

1. Google Places Page: (Google Email or ID required with a sign-in)
2. Yellow Pages Site: (Yellow Pages Accout, or use Facebook QuickLogin)
3. Yelp: (Yelp Account Required, Yelp does more than restaurants!)

Crafting a Review:

Please be honest, you don’t need to write an advertisement for Brown’s Flowers. Describe an experience you had with Brown’s Customer Service, an arrangement you received or sent, a special request that we either met or failed at. Negative reviews are also entered into the draw, although we may try to contact you afterwards to see if anything can be done at this point. ; )

Thank you in advance for considering, and we look forward to the draw to give away the 3 Gift Certificates on May 31st!

Cheers,

Nathan

*No purchase necessary to be entered in draw. Gift Card draw entries will be tallied by Brown’s Flower Shop staff, and customers will be contacted through the appropriate website account used to post the review.

Gift card is for a one time use and can not be spread out over multiple purchases. Gift cards Expire on Dec 31st, 2012.

Movember is upon us!

Just a quick blog post to let you know what Brown’s Flower Shop is doing for Movember. Mario was so excited he’s already grown a lovely moustache, come in and see it if you get a chance.

I’ve shaved my beard and I’m gowing a moustache to raise funds for Movember here in the store. 88% of all money raised goes to actual Cancer Research and Awareness raising initiatives, according to their independant audit last year. Prostate cancer has touched every family I’ve talked to so far, which underscores for me the importance of taking action where we can.

I’ve already raised about 300$ with my team, if you’d like to help out and make a donation it couldn’t be easier. You can donate cash or Cheque in the store, and by credit card through the website. Get in touch if you have any questions!

Valentine’s is coming up! Monday Feb 14th.

The time between Christmas and New Years has been quite hectic, and we’re proud to announce that we’ve removed every piece of Holiday Decoration from the shop….

We kept the Red decorations though, as Valentine’s in next on the Calendar! Monday is a strange day for Valentine’s, as people will want flowers sent at work on Friday before a romantic weekend, also on Saturday and Sunday DURING the romantic weekend, and then there’s the traditionalists that will wait right until the 14th to pickup or deliver their flowers. Usually Valentine’s is a ridiculously busy 2-day period of the 13th and 14th, but this year we’re prepared for 4 hectic days.

Place your order early to ensure you get exactly what you’re dreaming of! See you in the shop,

Nathan

Christmas is upon us!

Ever since our open house this year it’s been very busy, mostly with people planning their holiday orders on the week of Christmas starting Monday Dec 20th. We recommend the week of Christmas so you have the best chance of the flowers looking Great on Christmas day.

Lots of people have also taken advantage of our email early bird special on placing christmas orders, which still apply if we deliver your arrangment the week of christmas. We just need the order in before Dec 15th.

Here are pictures of our most popular holiday centerpieces.
