Valentine’s Day was a huge success for Corona del Mar Florist! Thanks to all our wonderful customers — we so appreciate your continued business and support.
Our NEW Online Ordering page sure has made it convenient for customers to still make someone feel special by sending them a beautiful bouquet of flowers.
This past Holiday we had customers using the Online Ordering page while riding up a chairlift in Lake Tahoe, to one regular customer on a sailing adventure in New Zealand, to another businessman working from his main international headquarters of Geneva, Switzerland!
Remember, sending flowers is a wonderful, natural way to make people feel good!
Until next time . . .

The tradition of including flowers in a centerpiece symbolizes prosperity and abundance and is a reminder to all of us of truly how much we have to be thankful for.
All of us here at Corona del Mar Florist love the lushness of a receptacle overflowing with the beautiful bounty available to us this time of year. We’ve put our own twist on the traditional centerpiece by placing it in a gorgeous dark rich palm “trough”.
The timeless & classic Cornucopia takes on a new look at our shop with the use of the most beautiful mango calla 
lilies, varigated antique hydrangea, bittersweet branches and crabapples. This is sure to dress up your Thanksgiving dining table.
So if you’re looking for something special and amazing, one of these centerpieces is just right for your Thanksgiving table!
Enjoy!
Until next time . . .

Just recently our shop had the opportunity to sit down with Lana Johnson from the online newspaper the Newport Mesa Daily Voice and give some tips on fall flower arranging. With Thanksgiving just around the corner, take the time to read up on the article. Fall Into Great Floral Arrangements. Enjoy!
Until next time . . .

A summer wedding (especially the month of June) used to be all the rage. Every bride wanted a beautiful warm, sunny wedding day, but now Autumn is quickly becoming the most popular season for a wedding, especially October, according to the wedding experts.
Our shop had the pleasure of providing the florals for an early October wedding held at the landmark Beverly Hills Presbyterian Church with the reception happening at the eclectic Chateau Marmont’s Bar Marmont on Sunset Boulevard.
The church is an elegant and inspiring location that is adorned by 12 distinguished stained glass windows, rich dark wood furnishings, and a dramatic center aisle, all complimented by our lush flowers in various hues of whites to give the vibe of an old Hollywood feeling.
Known as an infamous hideaway, Chateau Marmont is located in one of the most exciting cities around. The eccentric history of the Chateau and its rich past are all part of its charm. The Bar Marmont, with its dark and sultry atmosphere, romantic decor make this very romantic and mysterious.
The decor is exquisite with the bar bathed in red light, tables nestled beneath white lamps and pseudo monarch butterflies meticulously applied to the ceiling.
The wedding cake was in keeping with the monarch butterfly theme of the Bar Marmont, accented with a backdrop of beautiful Calla Lilies. The evening was a grand success! We look forward to our next wedding adventure . . .
Until next time . . .

It certainly is fall at Corona del Mar Florist. We can’t help ourselves — we just love all the flowers that are in season now. So many of our arrangements this week have taken on the hues of crimson, gold, burnt sienna with touches of fall Maple leaves and berries for added texture!
With the cool, crisp days coming to the beach area we’ve dressed up our shop to mimic a Woodland theme with our spindly birch tree “Woods” wallpaper, our gorgeous ceramic faux tree stump vases, and the cutest animal critters you’d see if you took a day hike in the woods.
Enjoy!
Until next time . . .

We’re thrilled to have been chosen by the Corona del Mar Chamber of Commerce for the Business Beautification award. Not only is the storefront beautiful, but the interior is just as darling! We’d love to have our community stop by “to smell the roses”…

What started out a couple years ago as a fun part-time job at the local flower shop in charming Corona del Mar has turned into something more exciting than I ever imagined. I fell in love with the flower business, especially my darling little shop. With a few new and exciting changes that I envisioned, all of us here at Corona del Mar Florist have been very busy the last few years. So here we go again, joining the social network scene.
I welcome you to our blog where the staff and I invite you to share our enthusiasm about the beauty of flowers. Here you’ll find a mixture of trends, happenings, and our pure delight in our wonderful flower creations.
Visit us often and, please, share your thoughts and comments.
All of this excitement to share wouldn’t be possible without my talented and gifted staff, the support of my family, and most importantly, the love and guidance from the two main men in my life – my wonderful dad Pete, and my loving husband Chris.
Until next time . . .
