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 11^th 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

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.

Congratulations to the happy couple!

Almost Autumn

Now that it’s September and school is back in session, everyone seems to be thinking autumn, and we’re not complaining. This summer has been so hot, we’re ready to welcome the cooler weather, changing leaves and pumpkin spice. So this Wedding Wednesday we have a bouquet that has a hint of autumn hues, while still being summery bright in these last few weeks of the season.

This wedding bouquet is a gathering of cheerful orange Asiatic lilies, orange gerbera daisies, yellow button mums, purple statice, red roses, solidego and touches of light lavender daisies. The warm hues make us long for fall, but the purple and lavender keep it summery fresh!

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.

Braided Steel Grass

Pop of Purple

It’s Wedding Wednesday!

For the last week of June, National Rose Month, we wanted to share a bouquet that features roses, so this week’s bridal bouquet is a clutch of beautiful tightly gathered white roses with pops of plum and purple in the form of button pom pons and statice. So simple and yet so elegant. The white roses matched the bride’s gown, while the pops of color accented her bridesmaids’ dresses. This bouquet is a lovely example of adding color while remaining traditional.

Rosy June

June is National Rose Month and as it comes to a close we wanted to share just a few pictures of the world’s most popular flower. Each pic was taken at our flower shop; hope you enjoy them and have a rosy rest of your June!

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.

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.

Prom Wednesday

It’s Wedding Wednesday and here comes the… Prom date!? More and more often high school students, excited for their senior prom, are trying to outdo each other with the most fabulous prom bouquet. These bouquets are so beautiful they could be carried by any bride on her big day! So for the next few weeks, while we are at the peak of prom season, we will be dedicating our Wedding Wednesdays to some fantastic prom bouquets!

 This week’s prom clutch bouquet is created in soft pastel tones; pink and peach roses, white calla lilies, mauve tulips, white hydrangea and blush hypericum berries are surrounded by a collar of lemon leaves and loops of bear grass.

The bouquet is finished with a wrap of silver over the stems layered with peach ribbon the compliment the dress.

We missed you!! Sorry we neglected the last few Wedding Wednesdays… We’re back!

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.

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.
