A Stein Family Wedding

It’s Wedding Wednesday! This week we thought we’d share a beautiful bridal bouquet and cake design from an extra special wedding, the wedding of two wonderful people that are forever a part of the Stein Your Florist Co. family.

This lovely bridal bouquet (and awesome couple) will always be one of our favorites! Pale pink roses, white lisianthus, miniature calla lilies, stock flower, green hypericum berries, hanging amaranthus and seeded eucalyptus create the perfect wedding clutch bouquet. Soft, romantic and simply stunning.

Their cake is also one to remember. Pretty petals complimenting the bride’s bouquet and bands of ribbon to match the bridesmaids’ dresses turned this petite cake into a reception show stopper!

Petite Peony Bridal Bouquet

It’s that day of the week again… Wedding Wednesday!! This week’s bouquet is a petite bridal clutch of white peonies. It is so simple and sweet with a bit of pearl accent on it’s stems; it whispers of wedding romance.

Peonies are symbolically known as the flower of riches and honor. Their opulent, full, rounded blooms embody romance and prosperity and are considered an omen of good fortune and a happy marriage, making them a highly desired flower for many brides. They are the traditional floral symbol of China, the state flower of Indiana, and the 12th wedding anniversary flower.

Peak peony season begins in early spring and extends through late June, perfect for all those springtime weddings!

Penny for your Thoughts

November is Alzheimer’s Disease Awareness month. This devastating disease has touched the lives of the owner and his family here at Stein Your Florist Co., as well as, many of our staff. Through sharing our story and our fund raising efforts we have also learned that it has affected the lives of many of our beloved customers and friends in the community as well.

Purple is the color for Alzheimer's Disease Awareness. Our model is draped in
purple blooms and an awareness ribbon on our hand laid penny
floor benefiting Alzheimer's Disease Research.
Alzheimer’s is a disease that attacks the brain; it is the most common form of dementia. According to the Alzheimer’s Association, 5.4 million Americans are living with the disease and every 69 seconds someone in the US develops it. It is the 6th leading cause of death in the US and of the top 10 diseases that kill, Alzheimer’s is the only one that is not preventable or curable. 

Eager to do our part in the fight against Alzheimer’s we held a fundraiser at our Philadelphia location benefiting Alzheimer’s Disease Research (ADR), a program of the American Health Assistance Foundation (AHAF). Since 1986, ADR has funded more than $74 million to support Alzheimer’s research and has made significant progress in the understanding and treatment of this puzzling disease. They are confident that with the help and support of others that they can eventually defeat this cruel and dreadful disease.

One of our online campaigns to raise the awareness of Alzheimer's disease.
We also painted awareness ribbons on our shop windows to show our support.
In addition to our fundraising event we held a penny drive benefiting ADR as well. We collected pennies from the community and began installing a penny floor at our Burlington, NJ location, Steins at Sunset Florist. Our staff and customers donated their pennies, which we glued to the floor, and the funds were donated to ADR. Additionally members of our staff and students from the neighborhood donated their time to help us record the date and mint of each penny to gather “fun facts” about our project. We made monetary contributions for every hour they spent working on our penny floor. The “Penny for your Thoughts” instillation benefiting Alzheimer’s Disease Research was the talk of the town, few people have ever seen that many pennies glued to a floor before!

Our floor benefiting Alzheimer's Disease Research included a medallion hand
laid in pennies as a centerpiece of the room.
Unfortunately, on December 2, 2014 a car crashed into Steins at Sunset Florist, causing massive damage to the store, including tearing up pennies and spilling the car’s fluids over the floor. We are saddened that we will be losing our penny floor in the reconstruction, but are grateful that no one, sans the driver, who will recover, was hurt and that we remain open for business. We are brainstorming ways to pay tribute to our former penny floor in a new benefit for Alzheimer’s disease research.

If we all work together we can raise awareness about this devastating disease and one day find a cure.

Tropical Roses Bridal Bouquet

We can’t believe it’s Wedding Wednesday again already! Where did the week go? This week’s bouquet is a beauty! Perfect for a tropical summer wedding with warm enough hues to compliment an autumn bride.

We gathered hot pink roses, bi-colored circus roses, purple statice and birds of paradise into a lovely clutch bouquet with a collar of curled ti leaves and a cascade of bear grass for extra drama.
