We’re back!!!!!! We’re back at Grove Street Plaza (opposite NEAT and Flour, Water, Salt) with another large scale floral art piece for all to enjoy and this year we are celebrating spring, joy and love!

Our newly weds, Brenda & Charlie are sporting the latest in elegant floral wear, set against a floral installation of only whites, greens and soft pink to draw the eye.

What do you think?? Let us know! Snap a picture and tag @nielsensflorist, we’d love to see your selfies with the happy couple!

The best picture shared will win an all white cut flower bouquet so make sure to tag us. 

For more examples of our large scale event work, take a peek at the wedding and events gallery here.

Looking back at our flower flares over the years, we’ve faced so many challenges and had so much fun doing them. Freezing flowers, heat, wind, we never know what we are going to come up against!

Our flower flares were inspired by a desire to share floral joy with our community after Covid. We wanted to create something bright and bold and joyful.

Our first year, in 2022, we installed 3 pieces over 3 weeks in surprise locations.

The following year, we were back at Grove Street Plaza with a Monet-themed design and last year, we were lucky enough to grace the DCA’s front entrance for their 203 Project. We love creating these installations for people to enjoy and every one is a different experience for us!

We’re so glad you received a beautiful gift of flowers!

Here are some tips and tricks to keep your flowers looking gorgeous.

If you have any specific questions or need further assistance, please call 203-655-2541 or email us at nielsen@nielsensflorist.com. 

CUT FLOWER BOUQUET.

This is when your flowers come wrapped as a bouquet and are not already in water.  The stems have been cut fresh for you but you may need to cut them shorter depending on the vase. Fill your vase with room temperature water. Remove any foliage that would fall below the water line, put the packet of flower food in the water. If you do need to recut, cut each stem 1″ at an angle.

FLOWER ARRANGEMENTS.

These come already in water and have been custom designed by one of our trained floral designers. As soon as you receive your arrangement, please top up the water with room temperature water.

Add fresh water daily.

FOR ALL FLOWERS ONCE PUT IN  A VASE-

When the water becomes cloudy, empty the water out and replace with fresh room temperature water. This will prolong the life of your arrangement.

Keep your flowers out of direct sunlight, heat and drafts.

Remember, our flowers are guaranteed for 7 days!

Please contact us right away if you are not completely satisfied. Following the steps above will help to ensure long-lasting flowers.
