A Day for Ashley!

Well, to say we have been doing weddings lately, would be an understatement! We have been doing lots of weddings. About 2-3 a wedding is our max however. This past weekend, we created the flowers for Ashley. She loved vibrant color, lots of texture and feathers.

Here her bouquet was created from billy balls, dahlias, lilies, calla lilies, hydrangea, hypericum, and polka dot feathers. The combination was really fabulous!

Earth Tones Recycled Art

This month we are featuring a local artist with all the creative juices and energy to fit right in among our crowd!
Mike Meyer…a local earth-friendly garden artist!

Mike Meyer starting making birdhouses and bird feeders as gifts for family and friends. He fell in love with the creative process and in 2000, along with his equally talented wife Barbara, formed Earth Tones. They have been selling their unique art work at the Vancouver Farmer’s Market ever since.

In 2003, Mike was juried into Cracked Pots, an organization dedicated to recycling and the art created from recycled materials. You can see his garden art every year at the annual Cracked Pots Garden Art Show held at McMenamins Edgefield (Troutdale, Oregon), in July.

Mike and Barbara use everything from tin cans, bottles and garden hoses to CD’s, rope and fabric in their, earth friendly, recycled and unique creations. They just finished a successful Yard, Garden and Patio Show at the Oregon Convention Center. For more information…give them a call 360.256.2392

 

Big Bench Birdhouse

Every once in a while you hit the jackpot. The treated 2×2 4 foot cedar pots used to create this structure were leftovers from a large construction site. When my good friend asked if I wanted them I had no idea he would bring me a pallet full. There must have been a hundred of them! I often wonder how chemically treated lumber is disposed of? -Mike

$400 with birdhouse…can be sold separately…please inquire

Buy Flowers for Your Admin…

In this day and age, companies and corporations are making cuts right and left. Understandably, due to budget issues, corporate layoffs, and the plain and simple economic status of our country. I mean lets face it, some companies can barely make ends meet, and are trying to hold on for dear life!

Does that mean these people should skip over Administrative Professional’s Day this year? We think it an ever important year to value the employees you do have. Consider a simple but beautiful desktop plant or flowers for them this year. With little investment you will create a happy work environment where there may be worry and concern. Yes, you can take them to lunch, but flowers or a plant for their desk will last longer!

Flowers do amazing things for morale and attitude. BUY FLOWERS FOR YOUR ADMIN!

We’ll leave the cookie cutting to Bakeries!

Exclusive Design by Flowers Washougal

Any florist can have a “picture book” website with a catalog of photos professionally made by a wire services such as as FTD or Teleflora. These companies spend hundreds of thousands of dollars on photography to create the “perfect photo.”

A Bouquet by FTD

However you must know the designs are also made one-sided to trick the customer into thinking there are more flowers in the arrangement. When these flower bouquets are actually made by a floral designer, they need to be seen from all sides, which means the front side that you view in photo online, is not as full looking as the finished actual product made by the florist.
At Flowers Washougal, all of our floral designs are exclusively ours. How do you know what kind of work a florist is capable of doing if they don’t show their own photos? You don’t, until you see the product in person. There are a lot of florists websites on the internet who may show you the prettiest pictures in the world , yet they cannot create the bouquets that they have available online.
You may be asking yourself if we offer out of town delivery. Yes, of course we do, however not being an affiliate of a wire service allows us complete control of our orders heading out of town. We personally call every order to the receiving florist, and screen to make certain they will fulfill our customer’s needs, wants and desires.

We will leave the “cookie cutters” to do their thing. However, we feel providing unique designs that are exclusively Flowers Washougal, sets us apart. If you would like to order one of our exclusive designs, contact us today and check out our website, You won’t be disappointed.
