Fresh Flowers Direct from the Volcano for Any Occasion PLUS a Free Printable

I've been intrigued by The Bouqs floral service for quite some time and last week I was able to receive a bouquet to experience the floral delivery service in person. I was very impressed with the whole process - from choosing my bouquet {which wasn't easy with all the pretty arrangements to choose from} to placing the order and then having them arrive at my door. At The Bouqs, the flower bouquets are a flat $40 with shipping included and no hidden fees. Order Yours TODAY!

Being a graphic designer I have to say that I LOVE their logo and the box design was great. The flowers were packaged so neatly inside, each bloom was perfectly placed inside. Once I got the flowers arranged into a blue vase I had they started opening within the hour and were absolutely stunning. The Bouqs is the perfect place to order flowers from that are not only beautiful but they are affordable - the bouquets are all $40 {with options to increase the number of flowers in an arrangement if you wish}.

The Bouqs flowers are grown on an active volcano in South America and are cut fresh for you when the order is placed. It's one of the ways that sets The Bouqs apart from all the others.

To celebrate upcoming Valentine's Day and the gorgeous flowers from The Bouqs, I created a free floral printable for you to download, print, pop in a frame and enjoy. It features a hand-drawn floral illustration I created with a sweet little love note. It is sized to 5x7 - download here.

Pop the Champagne and Gift the Bride & Groom a Personalized Love Story Print

Let's Pop the Champagne, I have a brand new custom printable in my etsy shop {with more to come}. This 8x10 Custom Love Story Printable is personalized and you can choose which colors you would like for the glittered 'Love Story' wording and the hearts. The particular color palette shown in this Wedding Love Story Printable was created for my cousins wedding and these were her wedding colors. This print is custom created with each order and then emailed to you for printing. The frame is not included and I went to my local Home Goods and found the perfect hammered gold frame.

And, speaking of Popping the Champagne - isn't this Pop the Champagne Tee great? I think it would be so fun to gift this to your wedding party {yourself included} and wear them for the Bachelorette Party. Gold Sequin skirt is optional, but looks pretty darn cute with the tee I think.
