Thanksgiving is upon us.  And one thing we know, is that the number of engagements spikes between Thanksgiving and New Years.  As if the holidays weren’t exciting enough, there are little velvet boxes in underwear drawers all over the country just waiting for their moment.

We in the wedding industry are always thankful to be a part of the lives of our brides and grooms.  We don’t just plan weddings though – we can help out with engagement surprises, and special arrangements.  Want to pick her up in a Cinderella carriage? A room covered in roses?  A mariachi band outside your house? Done, and done.

The holidays are full of special moments. Your moment is once in a lifetime: call for help brainstorming a proposal to remember.

HYelp! The cry for help with Yelp! issues heard ’round the nation

HYelp! HYelp! My Little Flower Shop is the latest in a long line of wedding businesses to find that Yelp! seems to have a really unfair, arbitrary non-algorithm that pulls down positive reviews left by real customers, leaving subjective, often unfair reviews to sink your online reputation.

Do you Yelp?  Yelp (officially with an exclamation point) is a crowd sourcing review website that is often handy.  When you’re in Omaha, how else would you know where locals get the best Thai food? Unfortunately, some vocal (and prolific) customers have taken the tool that’s meant to share information with the community, and begun to wield it as a weapon against businesses that have displeased them in any way whatsoever.  Say, by telling them we are closed on a holiday weekend, and can’t take their flower order.

So the kicker is, the people at Yelp! know that there are also businesses that try to “game” their system by putting up fake positive reviews.  So they check them all, and pull down ones they think looks suspicious – often they are 100% true, from happy customers.  To top it off there are the rumors of the sales calls where people offer to wipe out bad reviews or restore good ones with the purchase of advertising.  It’s gone as far as groups of small businesses suing the company for extortion. Patt Morrison, Southern California KPCC radio journalist, covered it on her call-in show, with this chat with Yelp! spokesman Vince Sollito. (Patt also has her own hot dog on the menu at Pink’s Hot Dogs.  Now that’s an accomplishment).

My Little Flower Shop needs your help on Yelp!  Are you a happy bride? Happy floral customer?  Please leave a geniune review for us.  We’ll hope that some of them stick!

Wedding Season’s Not Over Y’all! Palm Springs Brides Gear Up for Fall

by

The summer months are over, and June brides seem like a distant memory considering all the work we’ve done since then.  But Wedding Season is not over in the Desert. We at My Little Flower Shop are gearing up. Starting our engines. Getting Ready, Set and, frankly, already Going! We’re busy bees, and parties and weddings are falling into place for Fall.  Autumn is an amazingly beautiful time of year to get married in Palm Springs and the surrounding area.  The Coachella Valley glows, and everyone is energized by the cooler weather’s arrival.

Our Fall weddings don’t conform to a “autumn leaves and acorns” type of decor.  In Palm Springs no one says “Oh you can’t do (insert wedding element/trend/color here) in the Fall”  We don’t do seasonal weddings – we just do RodJeffWed_547beautiful weddings. In every season. And with our beautiful weather, you’re not stuck with a Winter Wonderland motif just because it happens to be winter. Innovative color schemes, florals and menus that don’t scream AUTUMN abound. Or if you’re into that whole warm color leaf-peeper kind of vibe, we can put a hip spin on it and serve it up Palm Springs style.

So when you’re thinking about a wedding location in California, or the perfect spot for your destination wedding, we’re the vacation and event planning paradise you’re looking for.  And we’re waiting, at YOUR wedding’s starting line, with our best ideas percolating in our heads.  Let’s hear yours.  Give us a call!
