Petal It Forward

Stein's Ambassador of Happiness Jessi
was spreading joy on Petal it Forward day!
A week ago today Stein Your Florist & Steins at Sunset Florist joined hundreds of other florists across the country with one shared goal:  to spread happiness with the joy of flowers through a nationwide “Petal It Forward” event.

If this is the first you’re hearing of it, you may be wondering, what is Petal It Forward? It's a day where florists randomly surprise people on the street with flowers. Lucky recipients received 2 bouquets – one to keep and one the share with a friend, family member, co-worker or even a complete stranger.

There is a direct like between flowers & positive emotions. Rutgers University conducted a study that demonstrates that the presence of flowers makes us happy – creating instant delight and enhancing our life satisfaction.

at Wawa. He was excited to Petal It Forward to
his girlfriend later that day!
As florists, we want people to experience this first hand, so on October 11th our “ambassadors of happiness” hit the streets with more than 40 bouquets, surprising and delighting the recipients. We shared the message of Petal It Forward and received a lot of smiles & gratitude!

The smiles were not just on the faces of the recipients, our ambassadors of happiness were smiling too, because it doesn’t just feel good to receive flowers, but to give them too, which is why each recipient got two bouquets, so they could experience it all first hand.

80% of Americans say, “receiving flowers from others makes me feel happy.”
88% say, “giving flowers to others makes me feel happy.”

More smiles as this man instantly
petaled it forward to his daughters!
With all the smiles (and even a few happy tears) we were truly touched by everyone that we got to share the joy of flowers with and we are so happy that so many people got a chance to experience flower power first hand. To see more Petal It Forward fun, search the hashtag #petalitforward on social media to see tons of posts from 573 Petal It Forward events across the country.

We’re looking forward to next year! Can’t wait that long? We totally get it! We’re open every day of the year so you can Petal It Forward whenever you like!




Spreading more floral happiness!

The Colors of Love

Rainbow Rose LGBTQ Wedding - Stein Your Florist Co.
Rainbow Rose
Wow, we haven’t posted since October, so sorry for the long absence! Well we’re back and it’s Wedding Wednesday. This this week we’re all colorful!

Here at Steins we believe that love does not know gender, love simply is and we are proud to support the LGBTQ community. This week’s wedding was a beautiful expression of love between two women who are proud and excited to share their lives together as a married couple. The colors of the rainbow reflect the diversity of the LGBTQ community and our beautiful couple chose to use rainbow roses throughout their big day in celebration of their love.

Everything for this wedding was designed in beautiful rainbow roses. Rainbow roses are created by cross cutting the stems of a white rose and placing each section into a different colored dye solution. The rose drinks the dye and transforms into the amazing colors that make us this unique bloom.

Rainbow Rose Wedding Bouquet

This cascading bouquet was designed with more than three dozen rainbow roses with touches of eucalyptus and peacock feathers.

The rainbow theme was carried throughout the day with a pair of matching altar containers for the ceremony and centerpieces for the reception.

Steel Grass

It’s Wedding Wednesday and this week we got in some lovely braided steel grass that we couldn’t resist playing with.

We were feeling a bit bohemian and transformed the steel grass into a hairband with an accent of pretty gladiola blooms.

We used more steel grass and arranged loops of it atop a clutch bouquet of lavender, light and dark pink roses and surrounded it with a messy collar of ruscus.

Pokémon Go Wedding

It’s Wedding Wednesday and this week we’re dedicating it to Pokémon Go! Chances are that in the last week or so you’ve heard the word Pokémon more than a few times, and with good reason… the game Pokémon Go has exploded onto the scene in the U.S. with more active users a day than any other app ever. Some of us here at Stein Your Florist became Pokémon masters way back in 1996 and some of us are just starting to “catch em all,” but either way we’re having a blast!

We can't believe this player has a
Gyarados ruling our Pokémon gym for
team Mystic... kinda jealous ;-)

Our Philadelphia location at 7059 Frankford Ave. has been designated a Pokémon Gym (one of the strongest in our area), bringing Pokémon Go trainers of all ages to our flower shop to battle and “be the very best, like no one ever was” (yes, we know all the words to the theme song).

We have embraced our gym status, hiring a local artist to paint one of our entrances with plant Pokémon and, of course, Pikachu, to welcome all to our Pokéoasis. The community LOVES it and we have regulars stopping by daily to win control of the gym or catch a rare Pokémon or two. There are also a few Pokéstops nearby too to replenish your supplies or throw in a lure module.

With all the Pokémon fun we designed a Pokéball bridal bouquet using hydrangea, carnations and a rose surrounded by a collar of ti leaves. We love theme weddings and we can hardly wait to design our first real Pokémon themed wedding for the happy couple that is ready to say “I choose you,” and we mean to each other, not Pikachu ;-)

Wedding Ambiance

Guess what day it is… It’s Wedding Wednesday! You were thinking hump day, weren’t you? ;)

This week we have a petite and colorful bridesmaid’s bouquet that will really pop against a myriad of dress colors. This clutch was designed in hot pink roses, purple lisianthus, baby’s breath, and one of our favorite roses, “ambiance” roses. These “ambiance” roses are beautiful with their light yellow hue and reddish coral edges; they have a large bloom size and a high petal count making them even more appealing.

Rose and Peony Bridal Bouquet

Wedding Wednesday is here again!
Bridal bouquet of roses, peonies, hydrangea and calla lilies by Stein Your Florist Co.

This week’s bridal bouquet is a large round clutch bouquet of lovely fluffy flowers. We gathered white hydrangea and calla lilies with big pink peonies, orange spray roses and lavender, peach and pink roses into a lavish bouquet. Subtle touches of baby’s breath and seeded eucalyptus were incorporated throughout for added color and texture. This is a BIG bouquet, but its impact is soft and romantic.

Traditional Whites

Hope your week is off to a good start… It’s Wedding Wednesday again already!

This week’s bridal bouquet is a traditional all white clutch bouquet of roses, tulips, calla lilies, dendrobium orchids and goditia. The bride loved baby’s breath, so there is lots of it throughout her bouquet.

Blushing Bride

It’s Wedding Wednesday! We hope you enjoyed our prom bouquets the last four weeks. This week we’re back to true wedding bouquets; though we wouldn’t be surprised if someone requested one for prom.
Blush Pink Rose Bridal Bouquet by Stein Your Florist Co.

This week’s bouquet is flush with opulent blush pink roses. Our designer gathered them tightly into a perfectly round clutch bouquet. So simple and so elegant. A silver wrap around the stems finishes the bouquet with sparkling beauty.

Artistic Wedding Flowers

It’s Wedding Wednesday!! As promised, this week we’re sharing more from the beautiful wedding reception at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts.

Wedding centerpieces at the PAFA by Stein Your Florist Co.

The PAFA is such a unique venue with wonderfully eclectic art and the couple wanted to translate that into their reception centerpieces. Each arrangement was designed to be different from the others, while still lending a cohesive look throughout the venue.

The main reception room tables were adorned in beautiful white and green flowers. The feature flowers in the bouquets are white phalaenopsis orchids, green cymbidium orchids, casablanca lilies, white roses, ivory hypericum berries, and green hanging amaranthus.

In an adjoining gallery, cocktail tables had their own unique centerpieces as well, though they were designed in beautiful bold purples and greens. Green cymbidium orchids, green hydrangea, deep purple stock, lavender lisianthus, purple mokara and dendrobium orchids, and green hanging amaranthus were featured in these arrangements.

Throughout all the rooms amazing foliage was incorporated for a very lush and lavish look. Variegated pittosporum, zebra striped leaves, seeded eucalyptus, sansevieria, springeri, dusty miller, emerald, ti leaves, blades of lily grass and giant elephant ear philodendron are among the many varieties included in the centerpieces.

Finally, curly willow branches were used for texture and drama, curving over the tops of some arrangements and reaching for the sky in others.

Art was truly prominent throughout this reception, on the walls and on the tables. It was a true joy to design these unique arrangements for such a joyous occasion.
