<p>We would like to extend a giant "Thank You" to all of our Customers and Neighbors who made this Valentine's Day a &nbsp;successful Holiday for Antheia Floral Design. &nbsp;Modern rectangles of heart shaped anthurium with calla lilies, romantic blooms of fragrant garden roses, and sweetly composed nosegays accompanied by sweets from <a href="http://www.cocoabakerycafe.com/">Cocoa Bakery</a> were among the favorites this year. &nbsp;Year after year, the most popular items were our lush and velvety red roses, or"roses on steroids" as described by one of our customers. &nbsp;</p>
<p>Though the excitement of Valentine's Day is over, we are gearing up for another busy year of Weddings and Events. &nbsp;This is the "Exciting" part... (drum roll, please... &nbsp;Antheia Floral Design will be shifting our focus on our future events. &nbsp;Event design will become our primary focus and we will be phasing out the day to day retail aspect of the shop.</p>
<p>Don't be alarmed, Antheia Floral Design will still be offering arrangements to all of our customers for special Holidays, accomodate special requests and continue service to our clients with whom we hold accounts. &nbsp;We promise to keep you up to date with all of our specials.</p>

This summer, the flowers were all about crisp, clean, white and green blooms and plummy purple splendor.</p>
<p>For awhile, brides were something less traditional then wedding white, this year it is back, and more romantic than ever.&nbsp;</p>
<p>White Hot Love. Part 1.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>
