Smiles are like flowers...

It has been rainy, cold and generally just really miserable in the Okanagan for the last couple of weeks.
For the most part, people seem to be tolerating it really well, but that's just because we all know we are headed for a lot of heat...and it will be here before we know it!
Of course I have to mention how flowers can brighten anyone's day, and more importantly, impact their mood!
But just a reminder, smiles and goodwill go a long way too, and have an amazing impact on everyone around us.
When I go to bed at night, I want to look in the mirror and know I've done my best to do a great job and be a good person. I wish the same for you.
If you aren't finding it that easy to be upbeat, (life might be hard right now) then surround yourself with positive people...and a flower or two just might help!

Whew!!! It's over!

Well, Mother's Day and all it's mayhem is behind us.
The logistics of having to produce and deliver so many arrangements in such a short time frame can be quite the task, but thankfully, the team we had for a very hectic week was amazing!
Thank you to all the staff, family and friends who worked so hard to ensure that every Mother had something beautiful on or before Mother's Day.

Now that that's done, we can once again focus on our bridal clients.
Wedding clients from near and far can rely on Edgy Petals for sound expertise and practical decor solutions to fit any budget, any theme, and most importantly, their unique style.

We are seeing a lot of unique requests this year, anything from incorporating horseshoes (yes, horseshoes) to the family tartan. If you have ideas for personalizing your wedding, be sure to approach us with them. No matter how crazy they might seem at the time, we can always find a stylish, tasteful way to personalize and incorporate the quirky items.
It's what we love to do!

Happy Mother's Day!

Well, it is that time of year again. Time to thank the women, without whom we would not be here! There is a lot of action at the store of course, and hopefully a lot of action in town this weekend. Our chamber is really busy making sure that we get a lot of folks from around the valley out to enjoy our wonderful community. They came up with a great idea to promote us as a destination for something to do! And there is a lot to do. Lots of unique attractions, markets, shops, and of course wineries. The local dining is really fabulous too, and there are alot of great events happening over the weekend due to it being Spring Wine Festival as well.
So, if you are not familiar with Summerland, and have a little time on your hands for a drive, come and check out the town.
And don't forget to stop in and say Hi to all the great staff here who are hard at work and giving up their own Mother's Day to make sure your Mom gets her gift from you on time.
