June 5th wedding flowers

Thank you to Susan Carmody for creating this cute little collage. I was priveledged to create the beautiful wedding flowers for a local estuary wedding on June 5th. Here are some of the photos from it:

Woolly pockets create living walls-vertical garden craze!

Check out these incredible vertical walls:

We have our new shipment of Woolly Pockets in! We have had real success with our living wall inside the store and we just installed a 9 foot living wall pocket outside the front of the store draping over our window. Visit http://www.woollypocket.com/ for more inspiring pictures and ideas. A little lower we will show more pictures of incredible vertical gardens by inspiring gardener, Flora Grubb in San Fransisco.

Hello I am an ISLAND:

Well it's been too long!

Hi everyone, It has obviously been a little busy round here, seeing as how I haven't even been able to make a post on our blog since our first week of opening back in January!

Thanks to all my friends and family for your support through the past few months, and to all our loyal and lovely customers. And a huge thankyou and piles of hugs to my amazing team of staff at the store! Kevin, Cheryl, Lynne, Mandy, Marie and now Christine, I love you! Well we are in full swing wedding season and with the busy busy month of June winding down (we did so many cute little ballerina bouquets!) we are looking forward to our next window display. This will be the fourth one since January and I have to say I should have been documenting them! They have looked quite stunning if I do say so myself.

January: hot pink lanterns with fushia pots and fushia phaleonopsis orchids shooting out everywhere..lots of little love words and love notes and passionate hearts for Valentine's Day

February/March: birch trees grew longingly out of a blanket of moss that covered spring bulbs like hyacnth, crocus and daffs, the store smelled heavenly! We had peacock feather shooting off the tree branches and mossy/earthy/springy words showering from the ceiling.


April and May: now we switch to delicate yellows and whites, oblong yellow paper lanterns (seem to have a theme going on here) with white bird cages hanging from the ceiling, little birds of all sorts peeking in around everything, triples ball glass hanging vases with sweet yellow ranunculus and painted eggs galore, crystaly, pretty and dreamy!

June: welcome ocean breeze.... you can honestly smell the ocean in the shop sometimes! white solar powered SOJI lanterns, sheer sky blue panels of rice fabric, remninscent of sails, and air plants hanging, with brown waving grasses and tall clear vases with brown and white branches arching....

Reno's!

We are taking over the store in two days (jan 1st) and are getting so excited. We will be doing some minor renovations such as painting and flooring and we will be closed for a few days.

However,
WE ARE STILL TAKING ORDERS!
PLEASE CALL US OR KNOCK ON THE DOOR:

NAME CONTEST!

We are considering changing the name of Billie's Bouquet and want your thoughts and feedback on this. If you live in Squamish-do you think we should change the name?

If we do decide to change the name, we are looking for your help! We will be having a naming contest. Please email us your name ideas, and if we choose your name we will present you with a $150 gift certificate toward anything in the store! If you live out of town, we will send you a giant bouquet through a preferred florist in your area. We are also looking for fresh, fun sign ideas to update the current signage whether we change the name or not.

Please email ideas and feedback to Alanna and Kevin at: avolp@peledesign.com

Thanks!
