The researchers found that the substance contained in these plants - linalool influences on the changes in blood cells and genes responsible for the state of stress.

Wedding Flowers



Recently Engaged? 


Preparing for a wedding will prove to be one of the most stressful times in your life.  It’s also a time of great joy and celebration.  


That celebration should ultimately be a reflection of the couple and their tastes, not a collection of their friends and family’s style.


One thing that is of the utmost importance is that your wedding day is about YOU!  Brides are easily bogged down with concerns of pleasing others.  


It’s only a distraction in the grand scheme of things.  If those who you’ve invited are critical of the choices you’ve made, you may want to consider just how good of friends they really are.


An important aspect of wedding floral design is the venue.  If the venue proves to have stunning views on its own, overly complicated centerpieces are probably not the best idea. Make sure you always complement your surroundings. 


From initial concept to final preparations, we will plan every single detail based specifically on your tastes or preferences to ensure your event looks as spectacular as you feel.  Quintessentially Flowers can also work in tandem with other events company to make sure that your event is truly unforgettable.

Make my day...

Classic Dozen Red Rose Bouquet

Have you ever wondered how you could make someone’s day?  

You’ve considered a note or a smile but it just doesn’t seem like enough.  While many people look for reasons to send flowers, the best reason of all is – no reason at all.  Sure the standard occasions (birthdays, anniversary’s and the like) one would expect flowers but it’s the spontaneity of receiving flowers for reasons other then the obvious that creates and emotional firepower.

The real bonus is how it made you feel.  When we do something nice for someone else, we invariably feel good too. When someone flat-out says “you made my day” or “you sure turned this one around for me”, you will defy gravity.  Your confidence will rise and you will feel like you can do anything. 

Practicing random acts of kindness is something we all like to do. Finding the right random act is always the challenge. So whether it is your mom, your lover, a friend, your work colleague or boss, find the right words for the card and let the flowers do the rest.



Quintessentially Flowers would be happy to deliver bright, happy and smile-bringing flowers anywhere.
