If there is one thing that makes the holidays special, it is fresh flowers on the mantle, dining room table, or nightstand. Fresh flowers just seem to take the holiday decor up a notch, at least to me! So I was thrilled when Flower Muse asked if I would review some of their holiday flowers!
Flower Muse is a from-farm-to-table floral e-tailer, They work with farms (all of which that have great agricultural and socially responsible practices), that grow incredible flower varieties and then ship them directly from the farm to your door at WHOLESALE prices. Yup. WHOLESALE! And direct from the farm? That is absolutely AMAZING as most flowers sold here in the United States are brought into Miami by an importer, sold to a wholesaler, delivered to a retailer and, finally, placed in your hands- generally over 12 days from the farm to your hands- no wonder flowers never seem to last anymore!
I had a hard time making a selection, until I saw their gorgeous Orange Mini-Calas. Their yellow orange ruffled swirls reminded me of Fall leaves, and I knew they would be PERFECT for our Fall mantle! You get 50 long stem (over 15 inches each) Orange Mango variety of mini-Calas. Aren't they stunning? But wait til you see more!
The flowers arrived 3 days after ordering them (thanks to an oops by FedEx, otherwise it would have been 2 days)! I was shocked they arrived SO quickly! As you can see, they are shipped in a floral box, with air holes to keep them from wilting from heat. Also they were strapped down inside the box, to keep them from moving around. Then the stems were split into 6 packs, each wrapped in plastic, with a foam protector around them stems, to keep the strapping tape from biting into them (in the picture I had already cut off one strap, before I remembered to take a picture!) Talk about careful shipment! I've never seen flowers shipped SO carefully!
Look how they pick up the natural light from the window!
The flowers were just SO SO stunning, I didn't want to put them on the dining room table, where they would get moved around alot, or on the coffee table, where the cat might take a liking to them, so I opted to keep with my original mantle idea- that way every time someone went in or out of the house, we could experience their beauty all over again, and be astounded once again!
Looks like a painting, doesn't it?
As you can see, they are a prefect coloring to match what had to decorate the mantle with. And having the mirror behind and off center, they just get reflected more and more every time you look at them, and the light just shines through them! We all are amazed, and everyone has oohed and awed over them over the holiday week! They have definitely taken our holiday decor up quite a few notches and we are definitely looking at ordering some flowers for the Christmas season as well!
Check out their Amarylis selection, red rose selection, and green Antique Hydrangeas and you'll see what I mean, about how you can put together a STUNNING holiday bouquet that will have your house the talk of any party! They also have seasonal collections already put together for you- they arrive already in the vase and ready to go, just add water!
