Happy Halloween!

Hello again everyone!

Hope everybody is gearing up to have a fun and safe 2010 Halloween! Around the shop, we've been designing a ton of Halloween and Autumn themed arrangements. It's a great season for flowers, with an incredibly array of colors, from muted purples to bright, vibrant oranges.

For our inaugural Bouquet Of The Week, we've had our awesome designer Dotty put together a spooky Halloween-themed arrangement. This bouquet has an awesome texture, with a mix of bright lilies, black spiders and miniature pumpkins within a beautiful orange, green and black color palate. And the vase is a faux-snakeskin poison bottle! Stop by anytime this season and get your own, or have delivered an arrangement suited to your tastes!

And speaking of Halloween, we'll be open this Saturday, and we're more than happy to have costumed Trick or Treaters stop by!

Before we go, we're excited to premier one of Katie Pearl's chalkboard drawings! You've certainly noticed the number of personalized, beautiful chalk drawings around the store, and here's a new one for our most visible space, right near the front desk check-out. Katie whipped this up in under an hour! Can you believe it?

See you in a week!

Hair, Weddings, Bulls, Blues & Brews

Hi everyone! Thanks again for checking in with all of us krazy kats at the BFS! Here's an update of all our exciting Fall activity:

We just donated more than four hundred of our older flowers for the University of Montana's Theatre & Dance production of Hair! You can check out their website here. Hair is a classic "American tribal love-rock musical" that's been a hit production since the 70s. We were more than happy to help them put the "flower" in flower power!

We also donated ten centerpieces and a $30 dollar gift certificate to the University of Montana Environmental Law Group's 6th annual "Bulls, Blues, and Brews Benefit and Silent Auction." This event was created to promote the use of laws to protect Montana's environment. Just as with Hair, we were more than happy to help out!

Lastly, we've attached a few pictures from a wedding last weekend. We created the altar arrangements and table center-pieces. These pictures are great examples of the Autumn colors we have available in the store. Call us at (406) 542-0706 and we'd be more than happy to make an arrangement or boutique for you!

Remember to keep on checking our blog at your leisure for more pictures, updates of events, and even the occasional store discount. Our next blog entry will highlight an arrangement that one of our designers thinks is their best! Hope everyone has a great week and we'll see you soon!
