How the Heck do I order flowers?!

Wanting to order flowers in the near future and not quite sure how to do it? It's super easy! With our easy-to-navigate website and super awesome customer service representatives, it should be a no-hassle ordering experience.

Step 1: Take a look at the arrangements on our website and try and find something you like. This makes it easier for you to see what we have in stock while also making it easier for us so we don't have to take a lot of time out of each other's day.

Step 2: Order online. If you choose to order online, your order will come through to our shop and we design and deliver it for you on the specified day! You'll also receive an e-mail delivery confirmation once your order has been delivered.

Step 3 (or another Step 2): Call our shop to place your order at 512.447.3577 (or 1.800.538.3139). If you choose to do this step, there are several things you should have ready or keep in mind before you place your order: the address of the person you are sending this to, what you'd like the card message to say, and an idea of what you'd like to order. Is it for a birthday, anniversary, funeral? We have several categories on our website to look through, and if you can't find something you like we'd be happy to arrange for you a custom design or designer's choice.

Step 4: Relax and let us take care of your floral needs.

Look how easy it is!

For Reals, Yo. University of Texas Inspired Design.

Welcome back! As you may have read earlier, the computer got the best of me yesterday and I (or it, the jury is still out on who is actually responsible) deleted half of my blog posting. The whole "University of Texas Inspired Design" thing that I actually titled the blog was nowhere to be found. No worries, however, because you are about to feast your eyes of some beauties.

Last year, around this time, but more like a month from now, our shop became a little busier with the hustle and bustle of faraway parents ordering flowers for their off-to-college students. It was quite a pleasant surprise, but one that we hadn't really prepared for. After many questions along the lines of, "Do you have any UT arrangements," with us answering, "Um, no, but we could make something in orange and white," we finally decided to get inspired by orange and white and create a few arrangements (something in every price range, of course).
Eyes of Texas, Mallory's first published website creation, hooray!
Longhorn Chic, a classic cube design of bright oranges.
Hook 'em (Horns!), a super cutie.
While those aren't the only orange and white designs we have to offer, they are definitely lovely ones. If you are looking for something not quite so UT-related, we have a wonderful summer collection on our website. However, if you are feeling that Longhorn pride, we also sell these (made by awesome Lammes Candies, a local company):

yummy.

On a side note, my sister bought me flowers once while I was in college. I must say, it was a lovely break from the fits of excitement and crazed panic that typically surround incoming freshman, or fifth-year seniors. Think about that the next time you are helping your student move into their smelly college dorm or apartment and imagine how lovely flowers would look in it!

Lammes Candies!
Love a Longhorn? Buy them flowers!

University of Texas Inspired Design. I Miss Backpacks.

Well, it's not quite that time of year again, but almost. It seems that as soon as the kids are released for summer vacation, it's time to start thinking about back-to-school. As if I would know, I don't even have kids, but I see the commercials already advertising backpacks. I was a kid once. I wore backpacks. Just today, Mallory and I were talking about how awesome it used to be when we went back-to-school shopping, which was just an excuse for new clothes and backpacks. Apparently, she used that excuse until her early 20s, claiming she needed back-to-school clothes for college. Uh-huh. If only I had someone to take me shopping, but alas, we are adults now. If I wasn't an adult, I would so beg for this backpack.



MooOOm, can I have this, please?
Okay, so in a fit of panic to publish the post before I left work today, I apparently deleted half of it. Whoopsie daisies. So, if you are reading this now, you're probably wondering what the heck I was talking about when I titled the post "University of Texas Inspired Design." Don't worry, you'll find out tomorrow and the designs will knock your socks off!
