Bouquet is Valentine’s-ready

Valentine’s Day is a big day for floral design. It’s the time of year when we showcase our designers’ unique talents and create one-of-a-kind pieces to delight all types of sweethearts. 

Claudia, aka Stacy’s Mom, was a hit with everyone in the studio.

Bouquet manager Sarah Pflug approached the big holiday this year with something fresh in mind. “I wanted to step away from the really traditional Valentine’s looks and illustrate our organic style with some unique arrangements and even some unique color palettes,” she said.

Striking reds scream Valentine’s but with a fresh approach and modern florals.

The design team gathered inspiration photos, collaborated on the variety of arrangements, and together created 13 unique and sometimes whimsical Valentine’s floral pieces.

The Bouquet team then brought in a photographer to shoot the Valentine’s arrangements with some talented “local models” including some of the designers themselves, owner Julie Hockney’s daughter and one octogenarian we lovingly called Stacy’s Mom (because she is). 

Bouquet’s beautiful models represented many generations.

“We thought it would be fun to show our Valentine arrangements with various generations,” Sarah said. Each model chose their favorite arrangement and one of Bouquet’s add-ons including charcuterie from The Winery, cotton candy from Spin and a candle/matches from The Studio by JH. 

One of the models was The Wall Flower owner Crystal, who brought along some of her rentables including furniture, tableware and a rug to help create a romantic Valentine’s backdrop. Additionally Crystal brought in the world’s cutest cake from Tiers Cakes, which the models were able to enjoy after the shoot. “It was honestly as good as it was cute,” Sarah said.

The group had a blast with the modeling session, some hamming it up more than others. 

Floral Designer Jordyn also owns Spin, a cotton candy business.

Sarah suggests people put in their Valentine’s orders early this year. “We’re so proud of what we’ve put together and we’re heavily marketing these arrangements. We hope it’s our best Valentine’s Day yet!”
