Another Day in the Life of Century City Flower Market: “Ready-Set-Go” Bouquet
Our fabulous flower designers are always creating. It never ceases here at Century City Flower Market, in fact its hard to quell the creative juices when surrounded by so much pliable beauty each and every day. One of our more recent creations dreamt up by one of our designers is appropriately entitled the “Ready-Set-Go” Bouquet. It consists of a dozen of our gorgeous roses, picked from our pristine assortment delivered fresh to the shop every day. I’m watching Wayne, designer extraordinaire, create one of these convenient yet beautiful bouquets as I type. He picks a dozen “sentimental pink” roses, arranges them in a ti leaf rosette, pauses to help a customer buy a contemporary nickel and copper plated vase, and comes back to bring it all together. He perches a $24.99 tag on it and gently place it in the fridge.
Its patiently sitting, waiting for you to come and swoop it away, to do what all flowers dream of one day doing, brightening someones day.
Sun Flower Bio: The Quintisential Summer Blossom
A classic summer flower, the sunflower is a great bloom to use in summer bouquets or to grow in your garden. Specifically the annual sunflower (Helianthus annuus) is the flower most people picture when they think of a sunflower. Sunflowers are a favorite for many people because of their beautiful range of colors, showy size and generally happy (and sunshine-y!) appearance.
Sunflowers are great in flower arrangements because they are large and showy, but also because they are hearty with thick stems that stand up well in a vase.
Sunflowers, even within the single classification of Helianthus annuus show a wide variety of colors, shapes and uses. A sunflower can range from the bright, cheerful yellow that is most commonly recognized, to chocolate brown and even purple shades. In addition to a wide variation in color, sunflowers are also recognizable for their potential to grow very large – up to 20 feet tall and with a bloom over two feet in diameter, according to Gardeners Net.
Being native to Central American and found wild as far north as Tennessee in the USA, the sunflower is obviously a hearty plant that can be grown easily with moderate care. Sunflowers usually bloom in late summer, so expect to have flowers starting mid-July or later and often lasting until September.
Sunflowers have a very special property called heliotropism, which just means that as it grows, the sunflower turns its face to the sun throughout the day. In the morning, the sunflower’s bud faces east to catch the rays of the rising sun and by nightfall, the bloom is facing west to capture the last sunshine as the sun sets.
Now that you know all about these sunny summer barons come in and see for yourself just how much a beautiful sunflower arrangement from Century City Flower Market can brighten your day.

Smart Men Buy Flowers

Fortunately, every day is a gift and a reason to treat yourself to fresh flowers. Imagine walking into your home greeted by a modern, sophisticated centerpiece on your counter or dinning room table.

Often it is their spontaneity and unanticipated arrival that truly makes the gift of flowers so much more than that. However, if you do want an excuse today happens to be International Virtual Assistants Day.

Laura & Ben
We had the amazing opportunity to create Laura and Ben’s wedding flowers.
This intimate wedding of a Hong Kong based couple at the historic Park Plaza Hotel in downtown Los Angeles. She’s a model and he’s a finance executive. The ceremony was officiated by the father of the groom and stills were captured by Aileen Secord with second shooter Jonathan Ruiz. A TV crew from TLC was also filming the wedding for a new reality TV show.

Summer Wedding Colors
Fresh summer wedding colors for festive bouquets and decorations.
It’s easier than you think to brainstorm your summer wedding color scheme. Summer is one of the most colorful seasons of the year. With flowers in full bloom and dreamy sunsets, the colors of summer are perfect for a wedding. But which ones?
Take a tip from mother nature and think bright or deep hues like the ones that bloom in summer. When you decide on your main color, pick an accent hue as well. These are the colors that you can use for bridesmaid’s dresses, invitations, ribbons, table clothes and even your floral arrangements. Need Summer Wedding color scheme suggestions? Try this list to get the ideas flowing:
Yellows & Golds: Think summer, and many people think of the sun. All tones of yellow and gold work well for summer weddings. Since they are also the color of joy and friendship, their meaning makes the choice even more special. For a cheerful, fresh look, pair the yellow hue with orange and white.
Plums & Purples: The color of royalty, purple is also a reminder of brilliantly arrayed summer gardens and fields. It can be elegant and timeless when paired with silver, cheerful and fun when paired with greens. Or, go with a lighter shade and pair lavender with gold for a bright, cheery scheme.
Magenta to this combination to really brighten up the occasion. If you choose this color combination and you have several bridesmaids, you might decide to have them wear different colored dresses in your color scheme. The same idea might be carried through in programs or dinner menus: one might be printed on green paper with a magenta ribbon, the next on grey paper with a green ribon, and so on.
Shades of Blue: The color of the ocean is also the shade of peace and relaxation. It adds a dreamy, tranquil element to your wedding, as well as a touch of glamour. Try something fun and use Navy Blue which has a nautical, clean feel. You won’t want to introduce too many other colors if using navy, though. Keep it to accents of white and green, as in foliage-green. These hues work well with classic, elegant weddings.
Teal: Not quite blue, not quite green, this is a popular summer wedding choice. Pair it with silver and white for a cool, refreshing color scheme. Pair it with melon pink for a fun tropical feel. Tip: Avoid Teal bridesmaids dresses, it’s a shade that rarely compliments skin of any tone.
Sweet, romantic color- pink. Use with sage and khaki and romance will bloom everywhere. Add to this color pattern other elements of romance: heart-shaped chocolates, strands of small white lights, harp and flute music, programs covered with a sheer top overlay, and lots of candles.
Once you’ve decided on your Summer Wedding colors, let them flow into everything for your wedding day. Weave them into your flowers, the decoration on your cake, even your wedding favors. You will be surprised how many wedding accessories and rentals are available in multiple colors. Here’s a tip: If you choose a fairly common accent color like ivory, white, pink or silver, you’ll be more likely to find matching accessories and rental pieces.
Stick to your color scheme, and when the sun sets on your special day, you can sit back, relax and enjoy the warm vibes that have been created with your summer wedding color palette.

SAY IT WITH FLOWERS!
In February 7th LATime’s issue we found an article titled “Don’t say it with flowers” which suggests you to buy products from their advertisers such as: Louis Vuitton change purse, Tory Burch pajamas and other high end luxury goods. We say, there is nothing like giving and receiving the most beautiful gift of all – fresh flowers. That special someone will really know your love them, when they receive the most beautiful, elegantly designed blooms.
Roses say it best, but it’s no constellation prize to receive peonies, lilies, orchids or unique couture floral arrangement. At Century City Flower Market we know how to create that look to communicate love. You might also want to spice it up with the box of chocolates or beautiful Mary Frances handmade bag that we have on our website http://centurycityflowermarket.com
Valentine’s Day Flower Delivery Los Angeles
When you consider flower delivery to Los Angeles there are several things to keep in mind. Unlike other parts of the United States, Los Angeles usually maintains a hot climate throughout the year so Valentines Day growing flowers is usually one of the easiest things to do in this area. Local florists spend a lot of time growing flowers in hothouses all across the states but often you can get a discount on flower delivery to Los Angeles because flower growing is more common.
You may want to place your order directly in the flower shop but there are other options when it comes to ordering your flower. Ordering by phone is a great way to order anything these days but the best way is to order flowers online. You can get Valetines Day flower delivery to Los Angeles by ordering online.
Of course stopping in the floral shop is a great way to select and order your flower shop. You get to see the flowers before you purchase them. The bad thing about shopping at the floral shop is the fact that you have to make time to make the time to drive to the shop, park, drive, shop, purchase, and walk back out. In addition, you have to make a decision as to which florist to select. If you do not currently reside in Los Angeles, you may find it difficult to locate the right florist.
If you order your floral arrangement by phone you may run into some problems with your flower delivery to Los Angeles. It is convenient to use the phone to order you do not get to view the flowers that you plan to order.
If you do not reside in Los Angeles but you are ordering your Vlentines Day flowers in that area you can call your local florist and have them arrange the delivery for you. You will not be able to see your bouquet before it is sent to your loved one so you have to trust that the right bouquet will be sent by flower delivery to Los Angeles.
