Professional and Do It Yourself wedding floral designers are moving into high gear here at California Flower Mall finalizing floral details for June Weddings.

Throughout May, we’ve met many DIY wedding floral designers who are one month out from their June nuptials. The most successful DIY’s are wisely pricing, practicing and making final floral decisions weeks in advance of their wedding day. Satisfied bridal teams report that DIY florists do not need a resale permit to receive wholesale prices at most of the 45 California Flower Mall vendors. To make your day flow easily, consider reserving one of our meeting rooms where you and your team can ponder final decisions, or work on practice bridal bouquets, centerpieces and arrangements. For advance meeting room reservations call: 213-488-1983.

Important Note: be sure to confirm any restrictions on flowers or decorations before finalizing plans. Check the ceremony and reception site for rules and restrictions regarding flowers, candles, affixing materials and methods restrictions.

Many religious denominations are celebrating the quality of “Motherhood” in every woman by giving a single rose or carnation to the female members in their Mothers Day congregations. While the origins of this practice are not known, the tradition is a widespread practice in New Thought spiritual communities such as Agape, Unity and Centers for Spiritual Living – formerly known as Church of Religious Science. Throughout California Catholic, Protestant, Unitarian and independent Christian churches are starting to adopt the Mother’s Day floral gift tradition.

Ministers, priests and church lay leaders observe that while “it is better to give than to receive” honoring the entire female congregation with the gift of a single flower often results in reciprocal benefits. The Mothers Day flower is a memorable goodwill gesture for new women members and their families that can strengthen the bond they are developing with their new church family. Receiving a single rose can be an expression of inclusiveness for women without families and a sensitive, comforting gesture for those whose mothers have passed on. Finally, church leaders that have adopted the tradition note that the spike in tithes and offerings on Mothers Day easily offset the modest cost of the floral gift.
