I did my best to recreate all the little details as faithfully as I could. Though I had to take some artistic liberties, I got pretty close, right down to the coffee machine in the corner and our Alexa in the back. The only thing I wasn’t able to make was the big display in the center of our shop. I puzzled over it for hours before settling on a large display of lilies and other white flowers. I realized something when I headed into the shop the next day. I couldn’t recreate the center display exactly because it’s constantly changing with the seasons! Our most recent display was this lovely Christmas scene, but we’re swiftly preparing for the red and pink of Valentine’s Day.

As the seasons and holidays change, our supply of decorations comes in handy. We’ll revamp the window display, the center display, and the smaller accents around the shop. I love going through everything we have and seeing what to use. I find something new every time I go through our boxes! My favorite season to decorate for is spring. We have lots of adorable little animals that go well with the pastel colors of the season. Every time we decorate, the goal is to make our shop as inviting and unique as possible, down to the smallest touches.

Whether it’s tinsel and evergreens for winter, pink and red hearts for Valentine’s Day, or multicolored eggs for Easter, there’s always something beautiful to find at Fantasy Floral. Stop into the shop one of these days. You’ll never see the same decorations and displays twice!

There aren’t many birthdays and anniversaries, but there are usually more sympathy arrangements. Our focus is on holiday parties and Christmas centerpieces. It’s also a month of laying the foundation for our busy season. December is the time we reorganize the shop, stock up on staples, implement lessons learned, and most importantly, prep for Valentine’s Day!

This year our Fantasy Floral family has grown. We’ve added new members to help with both front of the house and back of the house. This means we need space for them to work. If you’ve been into the shop recently, you’ve noticed we added an additional computer desk.

We also need a new workstation in the back. We’re in the process of reorganizing and updating. The reorganizing creates efficiency and economy of motion. Updating gives us an additional workstation. Our goal is to have all of this in place by February 1^st, just in time for the Valentine’s Day crush! December is a perfect month to work on these projects.

We hope your December is full of celebration and family get-togethers, love and laughter, and most importantly, the peace of the season.
