Wedding Flower Bailout

Visser's Florist and Greenhouses, the largest flowershop in Orange County, once again saved the day. A bride to be came in and said that she was on a very tight budget, but needed several centerpieces for her upcoming wedding. She tried other florists but nobody could really help her.

She wanted something with an Asian influence, very simple and springlike. We came up with these silk flower arrangements for only $25.oo each. Well, needless to say, she loved them.

Visser's to the rescue.

St. Jude's new tower

St. Jude Medical Center is set to open its new Southwest Tower two days after Valentine's Day. On Monday, February 16 the tower, which purportedly costs $125 million will open to the public.

It will offer maternity and other services in a state of the art environment.

The reason I bring this up is because Visser's Florist delivers to St. Judes almost every single day. If you know someone who will be in St. Judes for a few days, why not send them some beautiful flowers or a nice plant from Visser's.

Valentine's Day Flowers

There is exactly one week until Valentine's Day. Now is the time to order your sweety's flowers--from Visser's Florist of course!

Something to think about--Valentine's Day is on a Saturday. That means you have to decide whether to have the flowers delivered to work--on Thursday or Friday, or have them sent to the home on Saturday.

Personally, I like sending them to work, usually two days before Valentine's Day. That would be Thursday this year. Let's face it, a big part of receiving flowers is letting other people know that someone thinks you're special. If your sweety gets flowers at work on Thursday, she (or he) will be one of the first to get them and will be the envy of her coworkers. And needless to say, that will be great news for you!

So, what are you waiting for? Get on the phone, dial (714) 772-9900, or jump on our website http://www.vissersflowers.com/. We will take care of the rest.

Oh and by the way, in recognition of the tough economic times, our prices are the same or lower than last year.

Chinese New Year

January 26 is the start of Chinese New Year. It obviously starts on the first day of the Chinese lunar calendar and goes for 15 days (that must be some New Years Eve Party!).

Have some friends or relatives that you would like to do a little something for but don't know what? How about a festive plant from Visser's Florist. Visser's has several plants appropriate for the occasion: lucky bamboo, bromiliads, orchids and lots, lots more.

Order today, either from our website http://www.vissersflowers.com/ or call us at (714) 772-9900.

Plants are healthy

At Visser's Florist, we have always believed that having plants around is a good thing. Now there's proof. A SCIENTIFIC study was just published that says putting plants in hospital rooms after a patient's surgery actually helps recovery. WOW!

This is big news. What it means is that if you know someone that has just had surgery, buy them a beautiful plant or european garden from Visser's and show them you really care about their health.

And, just a friendly reminder, hospital rooms are pretty small so send something of the appropriate size. Come into Visser's today and we'll be happy to help you.

Modern Christmas

At Visser's Florist, we are always looking to do something a little different. This arrangement was created by Yolanda G., our floral designer that specializes in the more modern and high-style arrangements.

It's a simple arrangement combining Anthuriums and Christmas greens, accented with pinecones and whimsical touches of gold. Although it's not currently on our website, you could get one made by calling us at 714 772-9900 and asking for the Yolanda Special. The price is a very reasonable $44.99.

Christmas at Visser's

Yup, it's Christmas at Visser's once again. For 51 years straight Visser's florist and Greenhouses is decorated to the hilt for our favorite holiday. We really go all out for this one. We flock our own Christmas greens, create beautiful wreaths and garlands and bring in poinsettias as far as the eye can see (well, almost).

You really owe it to yourself to come and take a look. Bring the kids, bring grandma and prepare yourself to be awash in Christmas beauty. You won't be sorry.

And don't forget, as long as it isn't nap time, ask to see my two month old grandson Nathan. He likes to hang around the shop and greet people.
