   Merry Christmas – Happy Holidays and BIG changes coming in 2010!

  Merry Christmas to all of my students, their family and friends!  I’m taking some good quality time to spend with my children and will be visiting upstate New York to see mom and the rest of my family.  I will also reconnect with some long lost high school friends.

  With the upcoming new year quickly approaching, I also wanted to let you know that there will be many good changes coming to the Royal Bouquet Florist website.  Most importantly there will be many new courses offered – both to the casual "at-home" floral enthusiast who wants to learn how to create gorgeous floral arrangements simply along with specific courses for the "work-at-home" flower lover who can learn how to parlay their creative skills into a money making venture by offering their floral design services to others.

  There will be special emphasis on video courses that are filmed in a casual manner in my home!  This is so that I can show everyone out there how to "do what the florists do" but doing it at home!  Everyone can learn how to design amazing looking floral arrangements right in the comfort of their own home.  I especially enjoy showing people how to transform a pretty looking wrapped bouquet from the local store into a FANTABULOUS looking flower arrangement.

  Definitely look for some very exciting new courses and videos in 2010.  My focus will be on video demonstrations showing exact step-by-step "how to’s".

  Peace & much love to all.

  Holiday Plants and Flowers – EZ To Grow Amaryllis Plant

  It is a common site around the holidays to see the gorgeous blooms from Amaryllis plants.  They make a beautiful addition to your home or office and look especially nice when grouped together.  At holiday time, amaryllis plants are available from multiple sources.  The best places to get high quality amaryllis plants is from a local florist or garden center.  Larger chain stores will typically carry the amaryllis plants too, however quality can be sacrificed for lower prices.

  In addition to stores having already planted amaryllis bulbs, many will also carry amaryllis planting kits.  These kits are boxes that contain everything needed to plant the bulb yourself at home. Learn how to plant and grow an amaryllis bulb in the short video created by Royal Bouquet Florist.  Just click the picture or choose Video Training above.  Continue reading »
