Dear Grower’s Box,

I just wanted to say ‘thank you’ so much for the beautiful Dendrobium Orchids. The orchids were so vibrant in colors and very healthy too.

I purchased the orchids to use for my daughter’s wedding centerpieces. They were placed in cylinder vases along with some spiral bamboo plants with color rocks. The centerpieces were awesome looking. My daughter and her attendees had their bouquets made through the local florist, but personally I thought your flowers were more beautiful than the florist. Thanks again.

Very Proud Mother of the Bride,

Arleen

Every year new trends emerge in the floral industry. This year we have been pleasantly surprised to see a significant increase in sales of freeze dried rose petals! These beautiful petals are not only being used for weddings and events, but hotels, spas, resorts, and restaurants have taken akin to the freeze dried rose petals for added decor and ambiance!

Hotels & Hospitality: In just the first few months of this year we have shipped a large amount of freeze dried rose petals to hotels and other businesses throughout the hospitality industry. Some of our customers have indicated that they have begun to offer ‘honeymoon packages’ where the room is transformed into an intimate setting with the mere dimming of lights and the sprinkling of rose petals in the bedroom and bathroom.

Resorts & Spas: Resorts and spas have also been quick to pick up on the trend of freeze dried rose petals. The longevity of these petals allows these establishments to create a peaceful and relaxing environment for their customers that requires little maintenance. Due to the fact that freeze dried rose petals maintain their shape and color, resorts and spas are able to leave displays out longer, have less turnover of product than they would with fresh rose petals, and still enjoy the beauty and fragrance of having beautiful rose petals throughout their facility.

Weddings & Events: Freeze dried rose petals remain extremely popular at weddings and events. This year it appears as though many brides have decided to use freeze dried rose petals instead of fresh rose petals. This shift in the trend could be a result of many different factors. It could be that businesses and brides are feeling the pressures of a sluggish economy and have opted for the more economical freeze dried rose petals. The trend could also be a result of an increasing number of venues that are limiting the use of fresh rose petals as decorations. Freeze dried rose petals are more widely accepted at reception halls and wedding and event venues because they don’t stain, and because they are much easier to clean up.

Whether you are a business or a bride, consider adding our beautiful freeze dried rose petals to your list of decorations to be included at your next wedding or event! The Grower’s Box offers a wide selection of both fresh and freeze dried rose petals, as well as many varieties of wholesale flowers and wedding flowers.

This spring we are branching out from the ordinary with new varieties of wholesale fillers and greens including Green Mist and Queen Anne’s Lace!

These two beautiful fresh cut fillers are VERY similar in size and shape. Both of the varieties measure about 24 inches in length, both are available year-round, and both have green ‘blooms’ that measure about 5 inches in diameter. Green Mist and Queen Anne’s Lace are common in the floral industry and are most often found in arrangements of wholesale flowers and wedding flowers adding diversity and character to the bouquets.

The Grower’s Box recently published an article titled ‘Wedding Flower Tips and Trends for 2008: Budget Conscious Brides, Do-It-Yourself Wedding Flowers, and The Grower’s Box’. The article highlights trends in the wedding flower industry and provides useful tips for budget conscious brides and those endeavoring to take the do-it-yourself approach to wedding flowers. Excerpts from the article are below:

With Valentine’s Day now passed, many brides-to-be have begun looking forward to wedding season 2008. The date has been set, the reception location confirmed, and the bridesmaids’ dresses picked out. With those tasks aside, the focus now turns to the selection of the wedding flowers! However, with the ever-rising costs associated with weddings, the expense of hiring a floral designer can often be overwhelming. To cut costs, the trend among budget conscious brides is to order wholesale flowers in bulk from online sources like The Grower’s Box (www.growersbox.com) and create their own arrangements of wedding flowers.

The budget conscious bride (Bride-on-a-Budget) and the idea of arranging your own wedding flowers (DIY Wedding Flowers) is becoming more and more popular throughout the wedding industry. On average, brides spend 8% of their total wedding budget on their wedding flowers. This can mean spending up to $1,000 to $4,000 for flowers alone! Many brides are going the way of do-it-yourself wedding flowers because of the significant cost savings and because they it provides them with the freedom to create wedding flower arrangements that truly reflect their own personality and style.

Tulips are now in season and are available in a variety of bright and cheerful colors! Wholesale Tulips have become very popular in recent years as wedding flowers and as decorations at receptions as well as informal wedding related gatherings.

In past years we have had MANY brides decide to not focus on one particular set of colors for their wedding flowers… instead they have opted for assorted colors.

Cream colored wholesale flowers are always an excellent choice for wedding flowers. Cream goes with just about every color, and bouquets, arrangements, and centerpieces can be accented with ribbons and other fresh cut flowers to tie in other colors that may be present in your wedding.

Someone gifted me a miniature (bonsai) orange tree for my birthday… I’ve never seen anything like this before! It arrived right at my work place in very sturdy packaging. The tree looked fantastic right out of the box. I’m a sales rep at Google and the quarter I received it was my best selling quarter since joining Google. This is the perfect gift to send to that person who has it all. Certainly better than lucky bamboo - and luckier too!
