More fall!

2010-10-21T10:55:00.000-07:00

You have got to check out the mums we have in!! They are so big and full-they go up to an average person's lower thigh...just breathtaking. They are perfect to send for any occasion, especially for all those October birthdays. :)

Dianna is making a Maltese puppy out of flowers. This should make for good video in the morning!! LOL

UPDATE....It came out so cute!! I can't wait for our client to come and take this puppy home. <3

Amazing casket spray

2010-09-20T10:26:00.000-07:00

Jennifer created this casket spray for a young lady who passed away who loved rainbows. Instead of going with a traditional casket spray and adding a rainbow to it, she took it to another level by making the flowers into a rainbow. The vibrant colors transition seamlessly from one to the next and the variety of textures give it a natural, earthy feel. The family could not have been happier and found a lot of comfort knowing that their daughter would have loved it.

RAIN!!

2010-09-16T10:59:00.000-07:00

It's about time! We've experienced such a shortage of rain in the past two months...the grass is dead and leaves are brown and wilty on the trees. Let's hope this rain sticks around long enough to liven things up for Equestrian Games next week!

However, our buddy Bill Meck is predicting this to be a drive-by raining, with no more coming for a week. Luckily, we've got the cure! The flowers are more vibrant and colorful than ever and will surely compensate for mother nature forgetting to water us. Give us a call for all your WEG get-togethers for unmatched designs!!

Be sure to check the blog on Monday-we have several creative projects on the horizon for this weekend-it wouldn't do them justice without pictures!

Have a great weekend.

Loss for Words

2010-09-13T11:08:00.000-07:00

Funerals are inevitable and knowing just what to say isn't easy. We take hundreds of funeral orders per week-some from corporate firms, some from families and friends of the deceased and some from people who didn't know the deceased, yet want to express sympathy to their friend who lost their mother/father/grandparent etc.

We get through the order, get the details, decide what to send and there comes a blank pause when we ask what to say on the card. What DO you say on the card? Usually people resort to the default "With Deepest Sympathy" and a side of "Our prayers are with you". If you've recently lost a loved one, you know that everything eventuallly runs together and what was intended to be a heartfelt thought of support is lost in a sea of different names on essentially the same card.

Here are some ideas to set yourself apart from the others and express what you REALLY want to say:

___________________________________________

Peace, Prayers and Blessings

Words cannot even begin to express our sorrow.

Words seem inadequate to express the sadness we feel.

You have my/our deepest sympathies...I/we are so sorry for the loss of your father/mother/granparent etc.

Dan will always be in our hearts.

Dan will be truly missed-his jokes/smile/helpfulness made each day better.

With caring thoughts...

With love and remembrance...

Dan brought so many gifts to our life...we will miss him.

______________________________________

These are just some ideas. Should you be faced with a loss, give us a call. We can design an incredible arrangement, fruit basket, plant, afghan or keepsake and then help you create a sincere message of support to help the family through the rough days ahead.

GRANDPARENT'S DAY-Sunday 9/12

2010-09-10T10:14:00.000-07:00

Don't forget to order some flowers for your favorite grandparents this weekend. We'll be making deliveries all day Saturday, don't let yours miss a visit from one of our infamous flower vans.

There is a chill in the air, our fall flowers are in full bloom and the first UK home game is tomorrow. It just doesn't get any better than this! Have a great weekend.

The first dance

2010-09-08T09:10:00.000-07:00

This isn't floral related other than they're our clients, but we thought that Allison & Clay's first dance was pretty awesome. If you missed it, check out the video below when she got her flowers. :)

Off the beaten path...

2010-09-04T10:18:00.000-07:00

Getting married?

It's so easy to get sucked into the "everybody's wedding" flowers that you see photos of in your venue's past events and other weddings you've been to or been in. This is your day to use your own style-throw some flare in there!! Your result will be a bouquet that expresses your personality and might just have that WOW factor that will keep your friends and family talking about your great sense of style long after the bouquet has been tossed.

Check out this video of a wedding Jennifer designed and delivered today-the flowers were amazing and definitely not a traditional (859) wedding. The Sumatra lilies are such a deep purple that many people shy away from them but, as you can see, they are incredible with the Melva roses and trachelium that Jen added to the bouquet. Color + Texture = wedding grand slam! Congratulations, Allison & Clay-we hope your day was perfect. All the best!!

Sorry it's sideways-our technological capabilites will soon match our artistic ones. ;)

WELCOME!!

It's another hot one here in the Bluegrass, and we've got flowers to match!!

Today is the official launch of our new Iphone app...how much easier can it be to order an amazing bouquet? Did I mention it's free? Just search for Kreations by Karen.

Look for more photos to be uploaded on Monday from all the weekend's happenings. :)
