Hi Gemma
It is weddings
all the way at Booker Flowers at the moment.
We are very
excited to have been chosen to work with Interflora and the famous
designer Vera Wang on a specialist Wedding Flowers collection, one of
only a very small number of florists in the area to have been selected.
It is a wonderful opportunity. More on this next month hopefully.
And with perfect
timing, we have also been working very hard on creating a new Wedding
Flowers website and will hopefully have a link for that for you in next
month's issue too.
In other news,
we have a vacancy for a florist so if you know anyone who might be
interested, read the note below and ask them to get in touch. Thanks very
much!
Best wishes,
Gemma at Booker Flowers and Gifts

One of our
florists is leaving to look after her grandchild so we now have a part
time vacancy for a experienced florist for 3 days a week.
The ideal
person would also need to have good people skills, some sales
experience, basic computer skills and a full UK driving licence.
If you or
anyone you know may be interested please send your CV to Gemma as soon as possible.
Closing Date September 15th 2012.

"To
Gemma,
Thank you so
much for your help in making our wedding on 4th June 2012 so wonderful.
The flowers
were beautiful – as many of our guests commented.
I also loved
the heart of petals in our hotel room!
Thanks again
x"

washed wood and the ever popular hearts.
Particularly
attractive are these wooden lime washed shelves and drawers with
hangers at the bottom and heart detail.

|
The shelves
are £90. All our gifts are available online to browse or order, or you
can see them in our gift shop on Booker Avenue. This is the website

How to care for your hand-tied Bouquet
|
A hand-tied
bouquet will often come in a an aqua pack. This is where the bouquet is
arranged and tied off (so there is no need for the recipient to rearrange
if they don’t want to). It is then wrapped and the stems sit in a water
bubble. This will then usually be delivered in a bag such as the one
pictured.
When flowers are delivered like this they can remain in the aqua pack for
a maximum of 3 days, but after this to ensure maximum life of the
flowers, the water really needs changing. To do this, carefully remove
the wrapping from around the stems, containing the water, but leaving the
tie in place so that the bouquet retains it shape.
|
|
|
Then fill your
vase with tepid water and add the flower food supplied. Re-cut the stems
with a sharp knife or pair of scissors to the right length, so that the
edge of the design rests on the edge of the vase. To get optimum life from your flowers
re-cut the stems, remove any faded blooms and change the water every few
days.
|
A perfect
summer day is when the sun is shining, the breeze is blowing, the birds
are singing, and the lawn mower is broken.
