Sweet Pink Roses for Mum!

Mother’s Day – 9 May 2010 (Sunday)

This year, LeFiores only delivers to the state of Melaka in order to maintain the quality and freshness of the flowers.

So if your mum resides in Melaka, surprise her with a bouquet of fresh flowers from LeFiores and make her happy!

Gourmet Dark Chocolate Cake

If your mum loves cake, you can include your flowers with a gourmet cake baked especially by my friend, Edwin – a professional pastry chef from Asian Havana Cafe. Edwin has whipped up two delicious flavors especially for us; Low-Sugar Gourmet Dark Chocolate Cake and Low-Fat Blueberry Cheese Cake. Now, here’s the special deal, for each floral items purchased above RM100, you’re entitled to add a cake for your mum for just RM50!

Green Mine 100% Natural Handmade Soap

Additionally, I also have in store a few packages of limited Green Mine handmade soaps made from natural ingredients in Singapore by my dearest friend, Max. Max started Green Mine and began making soaps from his lab (i.e. kitchen (^_^)) during his free time. Like Edwin, Max also whipped up two flavors namely; Rose and Aqua. These natural soaps are great for your mum’s skin and good for the environment because it contains not one bit of chemicals with weird names found in most of our commercial soaps. Each package contains three (3) assorted pieces of Green Mine natural soaps stylishly gift-wrapped with premium gift paper and gold ribbons.

Let us help you make your mom feel like a royalty when you send her these eco-chic soaps and a bouquet of fresh flowers. I’m sure your mum would love this!!!!

'Organic Butterflies on Roses' Bridal Bouquet

Here is a bridal bouquet with pretty earthy hues of green dendrobiums and creamy champagne roses for a pre-wedding photo-shoot session. I always love to pair some dendrobium orchids with flowers of softer look such as roses, because it brings out an edgy touch to the overall feel of the bouquet. Don’t you think that the green dendrobium orchids in the bouquet resemble so much like butterflies?

Sometimes, I have clients who requested for artificial butterflies in their bridal bouquet and wedding centerpieces to complement their garden or fairy theme. You know, those butterflies made of wires, nylons, and tons of glitters. As I have always believed in using natural ingredients in floral designing, I usually prefer to substitute these artificial butterflies with orchids because it’s more organic and natural. Moreover, it is more cost-effective to use natural substitutes than artificial factory-made ones.

I can’t help but to send you another huge THANK YOU! I’m the same customer who lives in Toronto, now, a return customer who plans to come back to you in the future!

I got so busy during the past Father’s Day that I completely forgot to call my dad in Malaysia, and because of the time difference, I ended up reaching him a day late. I’m sure he was not impressed! But thanks to LeFiores’ quick turn around, I managed to make it up to my dad!!

I thought about your store as soon as I realized it was too late to call my dad on Sunday. I was just trying my luck when I emailed you and did not expect to get a respond so soon!

To make a long story short, not only did you deliver a beautiful floral arrangement to my dad, you also went out of your way to meet my special request by searching for a delicious cake from a specialty cake store to go with the flowers! My parents were delighted!!

Thank you again for all that you’ve done! There are so many florists that I could have contacted, but it is your service that makes me want to come back to you! Keep up the great work!!

P/S: To all readers, in case you are wondering, I am a real customer who has never met Ammie before dealing with her online! So these are true testimonials!!

An elegant blend of lush red and creamy white roses centerpiece accented with fresh green tea leaves which I’ve created for a photo shoot session last weekend.

This tall and round floral display is versatile enough as the perfect centerpiece for a contemporary romantic wedding or as a classic centerpiece for a vintage tabletop.

The contrasting colors and textures of the flowers and foliage play off each other harmoniously without being too tacky.

If your budget permits, you can arrange a few of this floral display in different vases of various heights to make a dramatic statement.

Spread a few tea light candles on the table and voila! Flowers and candles – you can never go wrong with these two.

Organic roses say “I Love You” not pesticides

via GreenYour

Nearly 80% of cut flowers sold in the US are imported from Ecuador and Colombia, due largely to the elimination of import taxes on South American flowers. An unintended byproduct of the off-shoring of the flower industry has been an increase in the chemicals coming into the US on the flowers. All flowers that enter the United States are closely inspected for pests and diseases but not chemicals.

One-fifth of the chemicals used in flower production in South America — such as DDT and methyl-bromide — are restricted or banned in the United States and Europe but products contaminated with these chemicals ARE allowed in. Environmental laws in South America are either lax or not enforced and the consequences are frightening; according to a survey of workers on flower plantations near Bogotá, the workers were exposed to 127 different pesticides, 3 of which are considered extremely toxic.

So this Valentine’s day, say “I love you”, not only to your sweetheart but to the thousands of workers in the flower industry who will continue to be affected until consumers speak out with their wallets and embrace organic.

So, whenever you want to buy flowers for that special someone, think GREEN! Well, most importantly, it won’t cost you a bomb to go green. The above is a beautiful organic bouquet consisted of pink hydrangeas and tropical gingers which I’ve just arranged. Have a great and green weekend!
