OK – so Black Friday was a phenomenal success, Small Business Saturday is getting a foothold and Cyber Monday consumed those who had not yet completed their shopping during the previous 2 events. Is it possible that YOU still have shopping to do? If so, do not panic! The simplest shopping experience is still available to you – call us and we will handcraft and deliver a beautiful gift right to your loved one’s door.
This is an especially appealing option for friends and family who don’t live near each other and want to make a big impact. Opening one’s front door to see a plain brown box with something unknown inside is OK. Answering the door for a smiling gal holding a beautiful arrangement of flowers, candy, fruit or just about anything else really makes an impact!
Call us at 619-516-5544, e-mail to julie@michaelsflowergirl.com or shop on-line to take care of those last holiday gifts on your list!
Just thought I would share some photos from 2 of the weddings.
The cake was a tower of icing and blooms of white and pink roses.
A lovely setting for a beach wedding
The bride chose teal colored lanterns which we embellished with pink roses and white orchids with streaming teal ribbon.
The bamboo canopy was adorned with an arrangement of white and pink flowers.
Another bamboo canopy at different beach shows a different treatment that is equally beautiful. The bride chose bright orange and tropical designs for the decor.

“I just wanted to say thank you for you and your team making the most beautiful floral arrangements, and for styling our reception hall so simply elegant. We had so many compliments on the simplicity of our flowers, but how much of a statement they made with their bold colors and organic, clean feeling. You really were able to take my vision and create something so gorgeous. In fact, our photographer was stunned as to your creations that she took several pictures of just the center pieces- they were that beautiful!
Again, thank you for your beautiful work. You and your team are amazing!”

Sick and tired of the same old floral wire service product? Please don’t misunderstand us, these are nice run of the mill arrangements. At Michael’s Flower Girl, we like to step out of the ordinary a little bit so check these floral arrangements. They really help celebrate the Easter Season and the coming of Spring, especially here in San Diego.

Lets face it, everyone is on a budget these days.Even if we are not, doesn’t it pay to figure out how to get more bang for your buck? At Michael’s Flower Girl we have been doing wedding flowers for over 20 years in San Diego and have a few tricks to share.
1) Be sensitive to seasonality. Red roses in the middle of Feb are 2 times as much as they are any other time of the year. This is going to drive up the cost. So either pick a different color rose or different flower in red.
2) Price is driven by flower type, flower count, and difficulty of construction. This may seem obvious but if you are shopping florists, and someone is much less expensive, make sure you are comparing apples to apples. If the price is too good to be true, it probably is. Ask the florist to specify how many of each stem they plan to use for that price. Be clear on exactly what you are getting for your money.
3) Make sure you look at the complete price. If you are going to pick up the flowers, this isn’t hard but if you are going to need delivery and set up, make sure this is included in the quote. You would be surprised how many brides think they have a great deal only to realize that they had left off rental of the glassware or set up.
4) Ask your florist to loan you the center piece containers or provide them yourself. This can save you large amounts of money and can provide you much more elaborate containers than you would be able to afford if you were buying them. Heck, its more ecologically friendly too.
5) Be flexible. Its amazing how much more you can get for your money when you let the florist guide you in your decision. They may have other weddings that day with a certain flower choice and if it doesn’t matter to you, why not take advantage of the florists ability to buy the flowers in bulk and pass on the savings to you.
6) Don’t be afraid to share your budget – If your are upfront with the designer they can help maximize value during the process of selecting your flowers and make suggestions to either get you more for your budget or help you save additional money.
7) Don’t be afraid to buy the package. We offer a number of packages at Michael’s Flower Girl. These are items we turn out every week and are exceptional at making cost effectively.
Hope these tips are helpful and we look forward to hearing from you soon.
Unfortunately, we at Michaels Flower Girl have been doing too many funerals lately. We hope this quick blog can help you through the decision making process in your time of grief.
The last thing you want to think about when someone dies is handling the funeral. In some cases, the deceased may have made all the arrangements in advance making the decision on casket, service, flowers etc. Then again, you may be faced with making all of the decisions yourself.
If you are in the position of making these decisions, the Funeral Home can certainly guide you on your flower choices but let us offer you some suggestions.
If you are arranging the funeral, you are going to want to make sure that the you have a spray of flowers on the casket itself. Depending on your religious affiliation, you may also want to provide rosary or pillow flowers. Casket Sprays start at about$75 and can range to over $250. Price is determined by size and flower choice. Flowers are also popular to place on the alter or pedestals besides the casket or cremains. These can range from $50 on up. If you just don’t want to make decisions, you can always say, I have a budget of XYZ and I want white and pink, and let the florist handle if from there.
If you are sending sympathy / memorial flowers, these will typically be on a wire stand adorning the sides of the casket. These are also called sprays. You can also add wording across the spray on a sash. Memorial sprays can range from $60.00 on up.
Flower colors are typically lighter tending towards whites. You are trying to convey a celebration of life with out screaming it.
Make sure to be specific with the florist about times and locations for services. Depending on the funeral home, you have a limited time from to deliver and set up the flowers.
If you have any other thoughts on this, please let us know.
