Hi. I'm Julie Klingaman from Grohe Florists, both your Santa Rosa and Rohnert Park local flower shop. One of the best things about being a mom is when my child shows me how much she loves and appreciates me. One of the best things about being a florist is helping my customer show their moms how special they are. <br />
<br />
A great time to <a href="http://www.groheflorist.com/category/holidays/mothers_day-_58/display" target="_blank">send flowers is Mother's Day</a>. I'm going to give you three things to consider when purchasing flowers for your mom this Mother's Day.<br />
<br />
Number one. Did your mom have a <b>favorite type of flower or color</b>? Try to incorporate these into the designs. The earlier you place the order, the more likely the florist will be able to get the flowers and colors that your mother loves.<br />
<br />
Number two, consider your <b>mother's personality</b>. Is she traditional, unique, modern? Does she love to travel to the tropics? Let your florist know. This will help them create a design that will match your mother's personality.<br />
<br />
Number three, make sure to design the card with a special memory or a nickname just to make it that much more special.<br />
<br />
I hope that these three tips help you when placing your Mother's Day order this year. If you have any questions or comments, feel free to leave them below.<br />

<br />
Hi, I'm Julie Klingaman with Grohe Florists, your local <b>Sonoma County flower shop</b>. We all tend to get a little bit busy in our lives and forget some important dates. I'm here to remind you that April 25th through the 29th is <b>Administrative Professionals</b> week. Who do you know that makes your everyday tasks just a little bit more easy? Well they deserve to be recognized. And what better way to send flowers to the office, where you can show them thanks for a job well done in front of their co-workers and everyone in the office, to let them know how much they are appreciated.<br />
<br />
An extra bonus is that research has shown that <a href="http://www.groheflorist.com/" target="_blank">flowers</a> increase workplace productivity. So, you're also encouraging that hard work to continue. <br />
<br />
Remember, Administrative Professionals week is April 25th through the 29th. Let your support staff know how much you care and how much they're appreciated. I hope this video helps, and if you have any questions or comments, feel free to leave them below.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15329736048540041590noreply@blogger.com1Rohnert Park, CA, USA38.3396367 -122.7010983999999838.2400067 -122.86245989999998 38.4392667 -122.53973689999998tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4408395181808772254.post-82301740226491752382016-04-20T15:11:00.000-07:002016-04-22T15:13:05.676-07:00Magnetic Boutonniere For Senior Prom In Sonoma County<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<iframe width="320" height="266" class="YOUTUBE-iframe-video" data-thumbnail-src="https://i.ytimg.com/vi/xTtGxmyuOM4/0.jpg" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/xTtGxmyuOM4?feature=player_embedded" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe></div>
<br />
Hi, I'm Julie Klingaman with <a href="http://www.groheflorist.com/" target="_blank">Grohe Florists in Rohnert Park, CA</a>. Today I'm going to show you how to make a boutonniere with a magnet. The reason I like magnets so much is because it saves a lot of time, and possibly embarrassment and frustration from trying to pin on a boutonniere. The magnet is really strong and holds a boutonniere up very easily.<br />
<br />
What you'll need is the magnet, they're also called <b>boutonniere pin magnets</b>. I still like to use the wire to make the flower secure on there, so you need a 22 or 24-gauge wire. You'll need floral tape, clippers, and then whichever flower you choose to use today. I'm going to use a <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zantedeschia_aethiopica" target="_blank">calla lily</a> and I'm going to use a foliage called <a href="http://www.bhg.com/gardening/plant-dictionary/annual/dusty-miller/" target="_blank">Dusty Miller</a>. I'm going to use, as my filler, I'm going to use a <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypericum_androsaemum" target="_blank">hypericum berry</a>. <br />
<br />
The first thing that you need to do is to take your magnet and measure your flower. And I like to put the magnet about at the base of the flower. Then I cut my flower stem right at the base of the boutonniere stem too, so they match up. Not everybody still uses a wire, but I like to, just for that extra security.<br />
<br />
I put the wire through, and fold it in half, and then I stem tape it. And the stem tape, it's not sticky when it's just like this. So, to make it sticky you have to kind of pull, while you wrap it. So, you're going to pull and spin, all the way, you don't have to go all the way down. I go at least to the bottom of where I cut the flower. So about right there, and just pull it right off. I am going to attach my foliage, my dusty miller, and I'm going to put it on the back of the flower. With calla lilies, it's really easy because you know where the back of the flower is, it's pretty simple to tell. With some flowers it's a little bit harder, so you kind of have to turn it around to find where you think the front of the flower and the back of the flower is. And put your greenery on the back, and maybe off to the side, or whichever greenery you choose, how it looks best. So, I chose to put the dusty miller on the back and then just a little side fringe kind of coming off.<br />
<br />
Then I trim that, and I'm going to trim a couple of the berries here. Then I will choose to put a couple berries at the base of my calla lily, like so. You can determine, just as you're doing it. It's a piece of art so you get to choose how much filler, greenery, flowers you want to put on your boutonniere. Then I'm just going to again, pull and wrap all the way down, again. Once you are done with that, you're pretty much done. Now with the magnet, I'm going to attach that, and again, it's just the same as I've been doing with the greenery and the filler. You just make sure that you put the back of the magnet on the back of the flower. Take it and stem wrap it right to the magnet. Now, it's securely attached and I'm going to use my clippers to clip off this excess wire, that I had on the bottom. Kind of push the green tape up along the bottom so it's got a nice, smooth finish. <br />
<br />
Okay, so now it is very securely set onto the magnet and it will fit on any type of jacket or lapel. I'm putting this on my vest and see how it sits on here very securely.<br />
<br />
I hope this video helps you the next time you're making boutonnieres or corsages for a special event.<br />

<br />
Hi, I'm Julie Klingaman from Grohe Florists, your local <a href="http://www.groheflorist.com/" target="_blank">florist in Sonoma County</a>. We're reaching the end of the school year, and that means for most high schools it's prom season. I'm going to give you three tips to make it simple for ordering your <b>prom flowers</b>.<br />
<br />
Number one is, know what color your date is going to wear. This makes choosing flowers and ribbon a lot easier; or better yet, come in with your date to make sure that they match.<br />
<br />
Number two is have a budget in mind when coming in. Most corsages cost between $25 to $40. More elaborate corsages can range from $45 to $60, and most boutonnieres cost between $12 to $20.<br />
<br />
Third, come in early for a better selection. The earlier you come in, the more choices you will have. If you leave it to last minute, you'll be left with what we have in stock, and you put a little more pressure on yourself, and your florist.<br />
<br />
I hope that these three tips make ordering your flowers for prom a little bit easier.

<br />
Hi, I'm Julie Klingaman from <a href="http://www.groheflorist.com/" target="_blank">Grohe Florists</a>. And it's after Valentine's Day and many of you received roses. So, I want to give you a quick tip on how to <b>keep your roses staying as fresh</b> as possible for as long as possible.<br />
<br />
First of all, is make sure to keep your roses in a cool place away from the windows that receive direct sunlight. So, you want to keep it in a room away from the window. Next, is you want to keep the water fresh and clean. So, after a day or two, you're going to want to take your roses out of the base. So, you're going to just around the top of the base, squeeze your hands together and just pull the roses out and change the water, so you have clean water.<br />
<br />
Another tip is every time you do that, get some scissors and cut about an inch off the bottom of the rose. So, the roses are going to start getting shorter and shorter, but they're going to live longer by doing this. So, I hope that this helps you keep your roses as fresh as possible for as long as possible.<br />

<br />
Hi, I'm Julie Klingaman with Grohe Florists in Rohnert Park.<br />
<br />
Men, it's that time of year, it's Valentine's Day and I'm going to give you one important tip and that is to order early. <b>By February 8th</b> you should be <a href="http://www.groheflorist.com/category/occasions/valentines_day-_214/display" target="_blank">ordering your flowers for Valentine's Day</a> because that gives you more options and in the florist world it's first-come, first-serve.<br />
<br />
And look, guys, you do not want to be the guy that comes in last minute and watch somebody else walk out with our last dozen roses. Even better, have your flowers <b>delivered early in the week</b> and tell your valentine you couldn't wait to say, "I love you."

<br />
Hi. My name is Julie Klingaman from Grohe Florists in Rohnert Park. And man, it's <a href="http://www.groheflorist.com/category/occasions/valentines_day-_214/display" target="_blank">Valentine's Day</a> soon, and I'm going to answer some of the common questions that we get asked this time of year. One is "<b>Why are roses so much?</b>"<br />
<br />
I wanted to tell you that it's supply and demand, but it also starts at the farm level. Having to grow long-stemmed roses in the middle of winter. It's cold and dark, so that cost just gets carried through to the florist, and then onto my customers.<br />
<br />
Another common question is "<b>Can I order online</b>?" And the answer is yes, but just make sure that you're <a href="http://groheflorist.blogspot.com/2015/10/ordering-tips-when-buying-flowers-online_29.html" target="_blank">ordering from your local florist</a>. Because there are many deceptive websites out there that make you think that they're local, and they're not. And if you order from these places, you will get your flowers delivered in a brown box from UPS or FedEx that your valentine will have to design themselves. Make sure that you are contacting and ordering from a local florist because you'll get your flowers delivered to your valentine in a vase professionally designed.<br />
<br />
Another common question is "<b>Do we have specials</b>?" and the answer is yes. And they are all viewable on our website, or if you call, you can talk to a floral consultant that can help explain to you the different things that we offer. If you don't know anything about flowers, the consultant can help guide you through what types of flowers are available, and what might be the most appropriate gift for your valentine.<br />
<br />
Besides just flowers, you can always add on teddy bears, chocolates, balloons, anything you think that your valentine would like. If you have any comments or questions, feel free to leave them below.<br />

<iframe width="320" height="266" class="YOUTUBE-iframe-video" data-thumbnail-src="https://i.ytimg.com/vi/et5r_TdLHdM/0.jpg" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/et5r_TdLHdM?feature=player_embedded" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe></div>
<br />
Hi, I'm Julie Klingaman from <a href="http://groheflorist.com/" target="_blank">Grohe Florist</a>, and today I'm going to be making terrariums. First of all, you need to pick plants that you want to use. You can do small plants and then you need to pick a glass container. I'm doing open air terrariums, so there's a little air that can get in, but you can also do closed ones as well. I have one here that I've already pre made that you can see is an open air, and it's got the small ferns and splash plants in it. <br />
<br />
Today I'm going to make one with <b>succulent plants</b>. So, I'm going to move aside the plants I don't want to use for this and I'm going to use succulent. So, first of all, you just need a container. You can do open or closed. They can be small or large, and then you need soil. I already put a little bit in a container, I like to use leftover containers to pick my soil up rather than shovels and stuff.<br />
<br />
So, I'm going to put a little bit of the soil into my terrarium. Just put in a couple scoopfuls to start, and then I'll see if I need more once I start putting my plants in. I'm going to put my tallest plant in first until I kind of just squeeze the sides of the container to loosen it up... The plant up in here and then I'm going to take it out. And what I'll do is I'll kind of spread the roots of the plant from the sides a little bit and then put it in here. And I'm picking my tallest plants first to put them towards the back of my container. If you're doing one that's a little bit more open, you can kind of choose how you want to put them in, just to kind of get an idea of what looks best.<br />
<br />
If you have a bigger container, you may have more dirt and you might not need to spread it out quite as much. And I chose to use five plants just because I think it'll fit my container. So again, you need to kind of judge, based off your container and your plant sizes, how many plants you're going to want in here to make it look good. And succulents are nice because you don't need to water them a lot, so they're really easy care plants. Alright? So now, I have all my plants in here and I'm going to add just a little more soil to make sure that they're all covered, and I'm going to try to get in here so I don't get soil on top of the plants as much. Otherwise, I'm going to have a lot more clean up to do.<br />
<br />
And then, I'll just even it out, and then you can add accessories to your terrarium. So, if you're going to be going to somebody's house or you're having people at your house and you want a little decoration, you could put something like a little pumpkin or some fall leaves in there and kind of just decorate it. I'll show you here how that looks or you can change it out if it's Christmas time or Winter months. You could put pine cones, you could put little ornaments, you could put different types of things like that to kind of make them seasonal. And that is how you make a succulent terrarium. It's really simple. If you're not into making your own, you can call your local florist and they'd be able to make one for you. I hope that this helps if you want to make terrariums for yourself or for some hostess gifts this holiday season. <br />
<br />
Have a great day.<br />

<br /></div>
Hi, I'm Julie Klingaman with Grohe Florists in Rohnert Park, and I wanted to talk to you today about things that you can <b>send with your flowers or plant</b>s.<br />
<br />
The first thing is <a href="http://www.groheflorist.com/product/dozen-roses-with-a-bear/display" target="_blank">teddy bears</a>. Teddy bears are very popular to add on. They're good for anniversaries, birthdays, and if there's new babies, most florists will also have baby stuffed animals that you can add on in pinks and blues to go well for the baby while you give the mother and father flowers or plants.<br />
<br />
Another great option is <a href="http://www.groheflorist.com/product/bear-with-chocolates/display" target="_blank">chocolates</a>, and chocolates are good for any occasion. Most florists will have boxed chocolates and they come in several different sizes. Again, like I said, they are good for any occasion and everybody, usually everybody, loves chocolate.<br />
<br />
Another option is <a href="http://www.groheflorist.com/product/get-well-balloon-bouquet/display" target="_blank">balloons</a>. The mylar balloons, they come with several occasions written on them. So they can be specific to an occasion: Birthdays, anniversaries, any celebratory events or get-well. So balloons are another option.<br />
<br />
And lastly are greeting cards. Greeting cards can really personalize what you're sending, so instead of the typed copies that most arrangements or plants come with, you can opt for a greeting card where the florist can hand-write a personalized note for you.<br />
<br />
So I hope this answers questions of what some of the great options are to include with your flower or plant deliveries. Thank you.<br />

Hi, I'm Julie Klingaman from <a href="http://www.groheflorist.com/" target="_blank">Grohe Florists in Rohnert Park</a>, and today I want to give you some tips for <b>ordering flowers online</b>.<br />
<br />
Number one is if the <b>price seems too good to be true, it probably is</b>. Oftentimes when you place your order, right at the end, hidden fees appear on there and so you're paying more for what you thought was a low priced item. You're paying just as much as you would if you went to a florist in your town.<br />
<br />
Two is to make sure you are ordering from your local florist. Oftentimes, there's deceptive order gatherers who pretend that you're in your city but are really not. So, if you are wanting to order from somebody local, really check the <a href="http://www.groheflorist.com/contactus.html?source=header" target="_blank">contact section</a> of the website and see if there is a street address in your city. Oftentimes, they're not in your city and will be either shipping your flowers or they may not follow through with the date that you're wanting your delivery to be made.<br />
<br />
Number three is make sure the flowers are actually going to be designed in a vase. Florists that are not in your city or that are not real florists with the location ship flowers in boxes with the vase separate. People do not want to have to design their own flowers. If you call your local florist, you will get a beautifully designed arrangement delivered to your door.<br />
<br />
I hope that this helps you with ordering flowers online. If you have any questions or comments, please leave them below. Thank you.<br />

<p>Hi, I'm Julie Klingaman with Grohe Florists in Rohnert Park. We often get phone calls for flowers and people ask us to please not use <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lilium">lilies</a> because they think they're too stinky. I want to tell you that that is a misconception because not all lilies are stinky. Next to me I have some lilies in this bucket and the three larger headed ones over here are called Oriental Lilies and they do have a strong fragrance. But not all lilies do. I have two varieties over here. The smaller variety, an LA Hybrid Lily and an Asiatic Lily have no fragrance.</p>
<p>The next time you call and order flowers you could ask for non-fragrant lilies, they are available, and you don't have to have stinky lilies in your <a href="http://www.groheflorist.com/advanced_search.html?keywords=bouquets&Submit.x=0&Submit.y=0#page=1&keywords=bouquets&price_range=&color=&index_id=">bouquets</a>.

<p>Hi, I'm Julie Klingaman with Grohe Florists in Rohnert Park. Today, I'm going to be talking to you about preparing for your wedding flower consultation. First of all, congratulations on your engagement and I'm going to give you a few tips because this is going to be a very stressful but exciting time for you. Some important things, I would love to see you have when you're coming in to see your florist is your event date because we need to know when the wedding is for knowing what certain flowers are going to be available. </p>
<p>Second is the venue. That will help determine what type of flowers are going to look best for your event whether it be rustic in a barn or fancy in a country club.</p>
<p>The next thing that we love for you to have when you come in is to know what style of dress you're going to be wearing, whether it's going to be modern or romantic, that also will help determine what type of bouquet we can create for you to carry on your special day. And then lastly, your bridesmaids' dresses should be selected so that we know the color palette that we'll be working with that will help us suggest the correct flowers for your wedding day. I hope that you found these suggestions helpful, and if you have any questions or comments, feel free to leave them below.</p>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15329736048540041590noreply@blogger.com0Rohnert Park, CA, USA38.3396367 -122.7010983999999838.3396367 -122.70109839999998 38.3396367 -122.70109839999998tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4408395181808772254.post-84826273840285027552015-09-08T08:00:00.000-07:002015-09-08T08:00:00.692-07:00Brides, Make Your Bouquet Special With This One Trick<iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/AotAQ_CfkKk" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
<p>Hi, I'm Julie Klingaman with Grohe Florists. A request we often get from brides is if they can bring in a special memento for their bridal bouquets.</p>
<p>For example, a locket that was their grandmother's or a broach. I've had a bride that wants to wrap a handkerchief around her handle of her bouquet while she carries it down the aisle, in remembrance of her mother. So these are all special touches to your bouquet that can make the day just a little bit more special, remembering your family and your loved ones. If you have these requests, just make sure that you tell your florist a few weeks ahead of time so that they can prepare appropriately for that.</p>
<p>If you have any questions or comments, go ahead and leave them below.

<p>Hi, I'm Julie Klingaman with Grohe Florists in Rohnert Park, and one of the first questions we often get from brides and grooms is, "<b>How much money should I budget for my wedding flowers</b>?" And typically, most florists would say to use about <b>10% of your total wedding budget </b>to put towards flowers. That number doesn't have to be concrete, and it will vary greatly depending on the type of center pieces you're looking for because the bulk of your money is gonna go towards center pieces. The size of your wedding determines how many center pieces you're going to need.</p>
<p>Another factor you need to consider is the size of the bouquet you're looking for. Are you looking for a <a href="http://www.groheflorist.com/advanced_search.html?keywords=bouquets&Submit.x=0&Submit.y=0#page=1&keywords=bouquets&price_range=&color=&index_id=">large bouquet </a>or something just small to go up in the center of the table, and the types of flowers that you choose? If you have a smaller budget and you don't wanna spend a lot of money, you may use some seasonal flowers that we do in a small vase, or if you want something large and elaborate with exotic flowers, that's going to cost more money and may go over your 10% budget.<p>
<p>Another factor to consider is your bridesmaids. How many bridesmaids do you have in your bridal party? The more bridesmaids you have, the more cost you will have because you're going to be purchasing bouquets for each girl. If you're on a lower budget, we can again use some seasonal flowers, and make them a little bit smaller, or we can do something really large and elaborate or medium that... It just will work within your budget. Think about doing 10% of your total wedding budget towards flowers, but when you start discussing it with your florist, they should be able to work within the budget you do have. Just let them know. That makes it a lot easier when you tell them your budget because they can make sure they work within that budget.<p>
<p>I hope that this helps you determine what your budget is for your wedding. If you have any questions or comments, feel free to leave them below.<p>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15329736048540041590noreply@blogger.com0Rohnert Park, CA, USA38.3396367 -122.7010983999999838.3396367 -122.70109839999998 38.3396367 -122.70109839999998tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4408395181808772254.post-57929485244636392932015-08-18T05:30:00.000-07:002015-08-18T05:30:00.959-07:00How Make a Wrist Corsage (DIY)<iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/ro5U5UC8T5Y" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
<p>Hi, I'm Julie Klingaman from Grohe Florists, and today I'm going to demonstrate how to make a glued <b>wrist corsage</b>. What you need is any kind of floral, a piece of glue, a wristlet and a bow. You also can have different types of wristlets that are available. There's diamonds, there's black diamonds, there's beads, there's pearls, there's all different types of wristlets available but today I'm just going to go ahead and use the standard wristlet. The first thing I need to do is I like to fold this prongs over that are sticking out here because they can get a little sharp if you don't want to scratch your wrist. Then you're going to tie your bow onto the wristlet just like you would tie any kind of knot. You're going to just bring it around, find the two ends, and tie the knot.</p>
<p>The next step you're going to do is you're going to get greenery and you're going to glue the greenery around the edge of the wristlet to kind of cover the metal bar that's on here. I chose today to use a little eucalyptus and a little <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pittosporum">pittosporum leaves </a>'cause they're nice and flat and kind of broad shaped to cover that. And I'll take a little bit of the glue and I just put it right on the ends and keep gluing them all the way around till that kind of skirts the whole band. I have one prepared here so I'm going to skip over continuing to do that step so you can see my first two that I put on this one and here is after I've put the leaves all the way around.</p>
<p>The next step is picking out the roses that you want to use for your corsage. Today, I'm going to use baby roses, they're spray roses. You can use all different types of flowers. You can pick 'em from your yard, you can pick 'em up at your <a href="http://www.groheflorist.com">local florist </a>but you want to pick a smaller flower, they're easier, they don't get as heavy and floppy. So smaller flowers are better and you're going to cut them off of the stem right at the base, giving a little nub so that you have some area to put some glue on. So now I'm going to come over here and I'm going to cut some baby's breath and I'm going to just cut some little pieces. You can really use as much as you want. So I'm going to peel off some of the petals that I think don't look real pretty and I'm going to put the glue just like I did on the greenery except I'm going to put it all the way around kind of on the rose so it covers that. And I'm going to just find a good spot on this wristlet in between some of the ribbon and put my rose right on it and the ribbon will kind of help hold it. It's going to take a couple minutes to dry.</p>
<p>You don't want to use way too much glue 'cause it can get pretty messy but if you do, make a couple errors or something. You can use a little extra greenery or the baby's breath to kind of cover it up. Now, I'm putting in just the little accent pieces like I told you about the seeded eucalyptus and the baby's breath and I'm just kind of finding spots that I feel like need a little extra fluff to them. But there you have it and this is kind of what it turns out to look like in the end. I'll put it on so you can see the size, it's not too big, it's not too fluffy and pretty comfortable to wear, very light. I hope that this video helps you make your own wrist corsage for a special day that you'd like to use it for.</p>
<p>Thank you and have a great day.</p>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15329736048540041590noreply@blogger.com0Rohnert Park, CA, USA38.3396367 -122.7010983999999838.2400067 -122.86245989999998 38.4392667 -122.53973689999998
