1-800-flowers 4 Gift Seattle

On October 27th, 2012, Capitol Hill Flower & Garden was re-branded as 1-800-flowers 4 Gift Seattle. Same owners, same quality floral arrangements, and the same local flower shop that Seattle has come to know and love. The only that's changed is we now offer a larger range of products thanks to the team-up with 1-800-flowers.

Our info aside from our branding has remained the same through this change. But for those out of the loop, it goes as follows:

Greening at the Flower Shop..

Well, here we go.  Valentine's is ONLY one week away and we have begun our greening of vases and baskets.  This is a behind the scenes look at how our flower shop is able to keep up with the demand from our clients.

The pic at the top are two very valuable employees, Sabrina and Cheri...without these girls and a few others, we wouldn't be as successful as we are.

Greening is a term used in the floral industry for getting the containers ready for flowers.  Without the greens in the vase, we wouldn't be able to create such beautiful bouquets.  Greens are the building blocks.

Here at 1-800-Flowers 4 Gift Seattle..we are waiting to hear from our clients that want to make their Valentine's Day one of the best!  So give us a call: 206-325-5068 or order online: www.1800flowers4giftseattle.com

Valentine's Day countdown

So, today is February 1st. I took my first Valentine's order today. I sometimes forget how fun it is after having 17 years in this floral industry. He was nervous, didn't quite know what he wanted, like most you guys out there. With so many choices out there, it's hard to choose.

With roses, orchids, lilies, tulips, gerbera daisies, chocolates, balloons, stuffed animals, crystal vases, plain vases..it's no wonder that you guys get overwhelmed. Well, worry not. We here at Capitol Hill Flowers are here to help.

Step one, find out your sweeties' favorite flowers. You can never go wrong if you build a bouquet with her favorite flowers. Step two, find out her favorite color. If the flowers she loves aren't available, chances are, we've got her favorite color covered. Step three, does she like sweets? What woman doesn't! We've got some amazing gourmet chocolates. So if she loves her sweets (besides you), then attach some to your order. Step four, cuddly bears? We've got those too! Step five, are you having this delivered to her at work? then attach some balloons! This will ensure that everybody in her office knows that someone (you) love her and wanted to make this Valentine's Day special. Plus, she'll be easy to spot in a crowd with some balloons attached to a gorgeous bouquet, chocolates that she's savoring and a teddy bear that is a great reminder of this holiday after the flowers and chocolates are long gone.

So, give us a call: 206-325-5068 or look online: www.flower4gift.com . If you want to hand pick your flowers to make this extra special, we can help you over the phone or you can come on in. I encourage you to order early! Valentine's Day is Tuesday, February 14th!!! Make this a memorable day for you and your sweetie.

Valentine's Day and Flowers

You may or may not be interested in knowing how Valentine's day came into existence. Long story short, a young priest name Valentine, lived during the 3rd century in Rome, was imprisoned by the ruler, Claudius. While he was imprisoned, he fell in love with his jailer's daughter. He was executed on Feb 14, 270 AD. Valentine sent a letter to his love, signed it "From your Valentine...." an expression we still use today. Valentine later became a saint and the day to honor him was declared to be Feb 14.

Today, we continue to honor St. Valentine and recall the history of Valentine's Day each year on February 14 by celebrating our love for significant others, friends, and family. For thousands of years, the middle of February has been a time for fertility festival celebrations, so it is no wonder Valentine's Day flowers are often the Valentine's Day gift of choice around this time of year. For centuries, flowers have symbolized fertility, love, marriage, and romance.

The tradition of sending flowers, most notably red roses gained popularity in the 1600s. But the red rose as a symbol of love dates back much further. This again can be attributed to the Romans as it was believed to be the favorite flower of Venus, the Goddess of Love. Red is the preferred color, standing for love, passion, and respect.

We here at Capitol Hill Flowers in Seattle, can have flowers delivered around the corner or around the world. We have a team of dedicated floral designers that cannot wait to help make this Valentine's Day a memorable one for you.

New Year Celebrations

With Christmas over and the New Year just days away, I know we are all full of new hopes and dreams for the year to come. 2011 and the small locally owned businesses, like ours, it was a very trying year, full of ups and downs. In this post, we would like to thank all of our patrons that made it a successful one.

For all of you that order direct, or choose to order flowers direct from your local florist, it certainly does make a difference, so thank you. Your contribution to the local economy does matter.
