Tallahassee Florist | Local Grown Flowers |

Have you ever wondered where your flowers come from? Cut flowers are shipped from all over the world. Ecuador, Columbia, Holland, and more. Here at A Country Rose we receive our flowers from all of the above. However we are moving toward a more sustainable source for our flowers. Three years ago we started a small flower farm in Wakulla County and have been learning and experimenting a bunch. This is our first year of true production and we want to share with you what we have accomplished. We have certainty not arrived and all our flowers are not locally sourced, yet we are moving toward that model slowly. Our farm is using organic style gardening practices,  so all the flowers that we use are free from harsh chemicals. At this time we are growing, zinnias, cornflower, dianthus, sunflowers, celosia, coleus, yarrow, ageratum, hollyhocks, liatris, hydrangea, gladiolus, agastache, astilbe, snapdragons, queen anns lace, torch lilies, and eucalyptus. We are adding daily to our sel...

Top Five Wedding Theme Ideas Tallahassee Florist

There are so many different themes for your wedding. It amazes me how diverse brides can be. How to choose? I think it awesome to select styles and themes to match your personality. Think about what brought you together, what you have in common, the day you meet, where you meet, and what you love to do together.  I had one bride that brought us sheet music to make cones from for the boutonnieres because she and the groom both played musical instruments.   Another was a self-proclaimed diva, she wanted faux pink diamonds everywhere. If you are not sure what theme you want for your wedding or you just want to know what your options are here are a few choices with some ideas to tie it all together. Top Five Wedding Themes  1  Fairytale: Cinderella comes to mind. I envision a frog turned prince for pictures. Ballerina type slippers, tiaras, a ballroom type wedding gown and tulle lots and lots of tulle. The flowers should be soft and subtle. White ro...

Why a Local Florist? Tallahassee Florist A Country Rose

When sending flowers, why choose your local florist? Today's society has us rushing through about every precious moment in our life. There are so many choices, so many ads thrown at us on a daily bases. So much information. Our mind can not contain and hold it all. So it selects only that which is valuable, or only what we are searching for at the moment. It is so easy to go to the web and make our shopping decisions either by price, convenience or the speed in which we can obtain the thing we are looking for. I am amazed at all the companies that are competing in our industry. The floral industry. At the bottom of the page you will see a Google search page for the term "florist".

These are paid advertising. Every time you click one of these ads it cost the company $$$. As you ca...
