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.

Plants and Flowers at Disneyland

All smiles in front of the Partners Statue in Disneyland

I recently had the opportunity to travel to Anaheim, California to attend the American Institute of Floral Designers Annual Symposium. Designers from all over the United States and the world gather together to showcase world class floral creations and learn about hot new trends. More about that later. Today it's Disneyland!

I love the Disney parks. Besides being super fun, the Disney parks represent the collaboration of thousands of creative people from every discipline imaginable. Artists, performers, and of course landscapers and florists!

Every square inch of Disneyland is meticulously landscaped. A lot of the hard work is lost on most guests, but I made sure to take plenty of photos to share with you today. You don't need a Fastpass, we're going to the front of the line!

These delightful flowers carts decorate Main Street U.S.A.

The beauty doesn't end at Disneyland's gates. Downtown Disney also offers lots to see for plant lovers like us.

Plants and flowers are everywhere inside the hotels and on the grounds.
