A week ago Ellen Burton, Publisher of Duo Magazine (and a dear friend of mine) called and asked if I wanted to participate in the media event for the new movie, THE PROPOSAL. I said, “Absolutely!” The event took place last evening at Muvico in Pembroke Pines. It included a Fashion Show, an after party and a pre-screening of the movie. Several hundred people arrived for the event, including women in wedding gowns, men in tuxedos (the fashionistas), the media (Deco Drive was on the scene) and the event planners from Disney.  I was so excited and honored to be a play a very small part in making it happen. Here are some pictures of the event complete with quickly assembled hand-held wedding bouquets. We put together very light, summer flowers that would not require the bride to worry about the bouquet as she greets her guests and admirers.

According to a review by the Sun-Sentinel “The Proposal won’t catch any bouquets for originality, but in terms of a bended-knee pitch for the affections of women — including Ryan Reynolds’ boyish charms, a hip granny and even a beyond-adorable puppy — this romantic comedy pretty much pulls out all the stops.” You can read about it and see a trailer of the movie here: http://www.sun-sentinel.com/features/lifestyle/sfl-the-proposal-review-g061909pbjun19,0,630213.story.

On Thursday, I had the delightful opportunity to chat with Jacqueline, the Editor of Teleflora’s Flower Blog. 

It was fun to remenisce about my “roots” and how I started in the Floral Business.  You are invited to listen to the Interview with Jacqueline of Flower Blog  live and unedited.

One of the most pleasant surprises came in the form of an article written by a new customer about Eden Florist and his experience with our shop.  I was blown away by what he wrote and the fact that he shared it with his colleagues and friends in such a profound way that I just had to share the news with you.

Here’s the link to the article in Travel Trade Magazine: http://www.traveltrade.com/news_article.htm?id=980&p=news.htm written by Jim Smith, CTIE – President of Market Share, Inc and Brand Congruency

You can be sure that this will end up in the Media Section of Eden Florist for all to see!

 Here’s a link to a blog post I wrote on my personal blog entitled “Are You in Control of Customer Service ” which you may also find interesting.

 Thanks for stopping by!
