Holiday Season November 20, 2011
Yes, it is here again! Full steam ahead to Christmas! As i start to think about all the things that get jammed in our schedule this time of year, I just want to remind everyone to take some time out and just enjoy! One of my favorite things to do this time of year here in Williamsburg is to sneak away for an afternoon and walk in the Historic Area of Colonial Williamsburg. The Christmas decorations always put me back in the right frame of mind to what the holiday season is all about….being thankful for what we have and those good people around us and wonderful expectations for the new year!
Creative Gifts at Schmidt’s November 5, 2011
It’s that time of year!! Time to get out there and shop for your loved ones!
Patti’s been doing alot of shopping, and we have some very interesting gifts for birthdays or even Christmas. Reusable coffee mugs and water bottles with and without straws are available, as well as decorations for them. Also, you can add flowers to them to make a gift that will extend beyond the flowers life (and help be green too!). Another neat gift is laptop stickers to help your student or even yourself personalize their laptop (featured above). We also have a variety of cute soaps, candles and other gift items. Come by or give us a call today and start your gift shopping!

Arrangement Trends October 16, 2011
What’s old is new again! A concept we LOVE at Schmidt’s ! We are seeing lots of vintage containers being used not only for events but also for the everyday giving. The concept of recycling is something we have always embraced so we love this trend! We have had the pleasure of filling many a container that has been passed down from generation to generation, but we have also designed flowers to fill a vintage cheese box or a wine crate. Bring us something we love the challenge!

Wedding Trends October 11, 2011
We have seen a number of brides over the last couple of weeks. Some last minute fall brides and some early bird spring brides. We can not get over the number of them asking for cascading bouquets! We are having lots of fun designing these with some updated trends.
Buy Local August 16, 2011
I was reading in a trade magazine the other day about buying local …DID YOU KNOW….for every $100 you spend in a local independant store that $68 of it is returned back to the community? DID YOU KNOW….If you spend $100 in a national chain only $43 stays local? You can make a difference in this economy! BUY LOCAL!
