THE SIMPLICITY OF A SINGLE STEM:

September 1st, 2010 by CDM Florist

Often times a beautiful single stem is all it takes to add some color and a hint of cheer to one’s environment.  Nature provides us with a simple way to improve people’s emotional health – FLOWERS!

HydrangeaBlog

Common sense tells us that flowers make us happy.  Acknowledging the positive impact even a single stem of colorful hydrangea can have on people, one of our customers has been placing this beauty in the various exam rooms of her medical practice.  Recently, she shared with us that every one of her patients comments on the beauty of the flower and how the flower brings a Zen-like feel to the exam room.  With today’s high-tech and fast-paced lifestyle it’s nice to know that the presence of something so simple triggers so much happiness.

So take the time in your busy day to appreciate the simple things – say like the beauty of a flower.

Until next time . . .

PUTTIN’ A TWIST ON THANKSGIVING FLOWERS

November 23rd, 2009 by CDM Florist

Thanksgiving CenterpieceThe 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 Thanksgiving Troughlilies, varigated antique hydrangea, bittersweet branches and crabapples.  This is sure to dress up your Thanksgiving dining table.ThanksgivingCornucopia

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 . . .

WEDDING TRENDS: OCTOBER is the New JUNE!

November 4th, 2009 by CDM Florist

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.

Wedding Aisle

Wedding Altar

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.Lounge SettingSexy Red

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.Bar Marmont

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 . . .

TIME FOR A FALL PALETTE

October 29th, 2009 by CDM Florist

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”…
