Kathryn decided to get married at the Armory in the Pearl District in Portland, a industrial chic venue perfect for a young bride. Her flowers were reflective of that chic style with anthurium, roses, calla lilies, cymbidum orchids and fern curls.<br /><br /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 216px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5370608723359324898" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhUBgwWylr86v8uEfJuUW-OD3q5aOVLqSt68cvxtycQx7p6KNeu0lEMQyDQrj3fv0CJrEvlImiTVizu-xBRcv9z__JERnpD50vLJzN60AGItzMGryOt51rBzecByVZUAW44eO7QJUdcSSY/s400/kathryn2.jpg" /><br />This young bride decided to have us create a whimsical toss bouquet for her reception of dollar bills and lottery tickets since most of her party was "grown-up and married off already"...isn't that a fun way to honor your guests?

For those of you that had the <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">privilege</span> to meet her, you know how hard this really is for all of us. She was an amazing asset to our team. She delivered flowers all across the county, as well and being an awesome person to help people in the store. She also did all of our roses and a lot of extra design help during production time! She was a hard-working, do-it-all kind of gal...She will be dearly missed. We hope she will join us again in the future, but we wish her all the time with her kids she needs!

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!</div><div></div><br /><div>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! </div><br /><div></div><div>Flowers do amazing things for morale and attitude.

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.<br /></div><div align="left"><br />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.<br /><br />We will leave the "cookie cutters" to do their thing. However, we feel providing unique designs that are exclusively Flowers Washougal, sets us apart.
