So with our recent move to the home studio in Scandinavia I have been getting asked a lot if people can still order flowers for pickup and delivery. YES, you can still order flowers! And here are the best two ways to do so:
1. Order online at BloomingEnvy.com 
2. Call us at 715-445-2134 
 You can place orders for pickup or delivery. We currently deliver to Iola, Scandinavia, Manawa, Amherst, Amherst Jct, Odensburg and Rosholt. If you order for pick up online we ask that you pick up your order between 9-5 on the day that you request. If you need an earlier or later time please call and we will try to accommodate you.  One last note, we don't keep set hours but we do offer delivery/pickups Monday - Saturday as our schedule allows. Please order ahead or make an appointment. Sometimes we reach capacity for daily orders or we have to be onsite for a setup and we're not at the studio. We look forward to serving you!

OK, admit it, you sang that in the Frozen tune? Well, I did at least. But really, do you want to be a florist? Or do you know someone who does? Well now is your chance! Blooming Envy is moving to Scandinavia and the studio in Iola is for sale. You may have already heard as it has already been a few months since my listing went live. 

Why you ask? Weddings!! It's really that simple. Weddings are my passion!! So the plan is to relocate to a studio that will better fit my needs as a specialty wedding florist. Yes, you heard that right, I want to design for weddings exclusively once again. Going back to my roots you could say. I always knew deep down when I opened the studio on Main Street it was only a steppingstone. My family was moving, and I needed a place to continue my wedding work until a new studio could be built. At that time, I only added the retail florist services to help pay for the added expense of the building and utilities. I never in my wildest dreams thought it would grow to where it's at today. 

So, that brings me back to do you want to be a florist? Over the last 6 years in my current studio, I have found that the town of Iola really benefits from having a retail florist. I have the pleasure of making deliverers for birthday, anniversaries, get wells and countless other occasions. I have been trusted more times than I can count to make arrangements for celebrations of life, our local funeral home is directly across the street after all. There are many churches in the area that have used my services for altar flowers or confirmations. The high school keeps me busy with homecoming, prom, parent’s night and graduation...you get the idea. I really feel strongly that Iola needs a flower shop! So, if you have experience in floristry or even a strong desire to learn I think this could be a great opportunity for you. 

Now I know what your next questions is. When are you moving? That one is a bit trickery to answer. For now, my best answer is when the studio in Iola sells or the end of the year, whichever comes first. Until then I am still here. So please help spread the word and let's keep a flower shop in Iola!

Last fall I had the pleasure of designing flowers for a wedding in my hometown.  The family was local, the venue was local, the food was catered local and of course the flowers were local. Not only were they designed local, a good amount of them were purchased from a local flower farm. This was important to my couple and I thought it spoke volumes as to their support for the community. It was a great experience working with my neighbors and in the end we all won. I think now more then ever we need to support our local communities and the small businesses in them. It is truly neighbor helping neighbor that makes our towns such wonderful, unique places to live.  See more pictures here!

That's me!! It really is! Right here in this moment I am putting some final touches on a lake front wedding ceremony arch. Let me tell you it was HOT! I was so thankful to be in the shade, as I am sure the guest were that day as well. But let me just say something, this moment right here is what I live for. All the meetings, all the planning, all the ordering, all the design work, that's what makes this moment right here so amazing to me. When the design comes alive, the beauty of that moment is magical. 

That's what makes this time of the #SaferAtHome order so challenging to me. I am missing this! With my storefront closed per the governor's order, all wedding planning needs to be done virtually or over the phone. I have also had a few unfortunate phone calls with couples who's weddings are being postponed or their wedding will be different then they dreamed, my prayers goes out to them. But have faith, we will get through this. We are working with each client case by case to provide the absolute best solutions for everyone. 

We are all in this together and together we can slow the spread of COVID-19. I do believe the world will come through this challenging time with softer hearts and a greater appreciation for others. So reach out to me if you need any guidance with your wedding or if you just need someone to talk to and do your best to stay healthy.

You know what I love? What drives me to work long hours and every weekend in the summer? This right here, when it all comes together! Every detail matters! It starts with a simple meeting where I get to learn about you and what your flower visions are. From there it's laid out in mood boards and proposals. With a grand finally of sorts at your wedding, when the designs come to life and your wedding becomes the beautiful, unique event you dreamed of. Let Blooming Envy help your visions come to life!

Details matter! Your wedding day has so many important details. Blooming Envy wants you to feel confident in your flower details. We will provide you with a custom mood board along with your contract so you know exactly what to expect on your special day.
