Wedding Flower Trends for 2013

At Bank of Memories & Flowers, we foresee lush compact arrangements to be a hot trend for this year brides.  These botanical filled arrangements will focus on texture and interesting flowers like fuzzy green dianthus or grey brunia. Finish it off with some burlap or lace!

 

In 2013, vases will be as important as the flowers at the reception. Having a mix of different vases or vintage bottles on each table will be an inexpensive impact and carry through the vintage theme.  Fill each bottle with one different flowers from the brides bouquet.

Check Out Our Flower Delivery Vans

Check out our flower delivery vans.  They could stop traffic!
Ok, we are just kidding but you might just see one of our delivery drivers from one our  locations, Menomonee Falls or Pewaukee, driving around the Milwaukee Metro Area.

Don, Wayne, Lance, P-Ray, John and Tom are the team that keep these vans running. They're on the road about 7 hours a day 6 days a week.  They deliver in sun, rain, sleet or snow and they love it.  "Who wouldn't love to see my face (with flowers) ring your door bell," driver Wayne said. 

Our delivery drivers and vans are a very important component at Bank of Memories & Flowers. Owner Melissa Maas says "Without them we would only be able to rely on our customers to stop in to our locations, with these drivers and vans we can reach as far as Oconomowoc to Downtown Milwaukee."  

Next time you see one of our vans driving around, think of all the arrangements inside that are on there way to make someones day.  It could be for you!

Wedding Flower Consultation

At Bank of Memories & Flowers we are prepared and excited for the stream of wedding appointments.  "The winter months are full of wedding appointments and I can't wait to hear what the hot new bridesmaid dress colors will be," owner Melissa Maas expresses.  

Here are Some Great Tips When 

Preparing for Your Wedding Consultation

  

-Book a florist 8-6 months before your wedding
-Have your dress and your bridesmaid dress picked and purchased, this will set the framework for your flowers
-Have a folder, binder or ipad filled with flower photos and ideas. This can give the florist a feel of your style
-Have a list of the wedding party to determine "who needs what" 
-Have a complete sense of yourself and how much you want to spend.  Not only will this make it easier for the florist to help you, but it will keep you on budget. 

Our Recycle Vase Program

It's a new year and people are cleaning out their closets, cupboards, basements, and storage areas in an effort to minimize and shrink their possessions and gain more space.  Many of us will find many vases and containers to good to just toss. Bring them to us at Bank of Memories & Flowers and we will give you some beautiful fresh cut flowers in exchange. A win, win situation for both you and the environment. We just request that the vases and containers be clean and useable. 

Also, stop and think about reusing a vase you already have next time you choose to send flowers to someone special and save money!  Just drop it off at Bank of Memories & Flowers and we will arrange the rest. Reusing and recycling is a great start in helping the planet. So start digging out your old vases and bring them to us. We will gladly take them off your hands!
