Schneider's Florist 2016 Year in Review

2016 was a great year at the flower shop! Besides all weekly updates of beautiful flowers, we did a ton of other fun stuff.

Back in February, we talked about why we send flowers, how to send flowers like a boss, and sending flowers to say "I'm Sorry".

In March I published the blog's most popular post ever, Plan Your Wedding With Schneider's Florist, where I unveiled our fabulous new bridal consultation suite and we met our new wedding expert, Ashley Neinaber.

In May, to make flowers the easiest part of your wedding, we launched our very popular Wedding Packages Service.

We got into videos this year! Our video of Ashley making a bridal bouquet, and this fabulous video of wedding decor at the Windy Knoll Golf Club both earned thousands of views across various social media platforms.

In July, we attended the AIFD Symposium in Anaheim, and we made time to visit Disneyland!

In October, we gave away free flowers in Snyder Park for Petal It Forward. Look for us to participate in PIF again in 2017.

If you missed any of these posts, I hope you take a few minutes to check them out now. Keep watching for more great content published weekly here on the blog. More flowers, more ideas, more destinations, and more super wordy titles like this one.

Thanks for reading today, see you next year.

Images from the 2016 AIFD Symposium

Every summer the American Institute of Floral Designers gather together for their annual symposium. Florists from around the world demonstrate cutting edge design ideas. I wanted to share some images of the fascinating installations that were created. Some of these photos come from the Symposium Facebook page. There's plenty more to see if you want to check it out!

"Mirror, mirror, on the wall..." Inspired by the Evil Queen from Snow White

Another Disney design. Can you guess the film that inspired this?

Floral couture. A skirt, hat, and handbag all crafted from fresh flowers
