Morrison Floral Company Blog: Whoosh It's Over!!!

Whoosh it's Over!!!

Well Valentine’s Day is over and we made it through… It was a mad rush around here on Wednesday, Thursday and especially Friday. The flowers were flying…. LOL The major part of our work was Dozen Red Roses; those were what were ordered most out of everything else.

The numbers are not counted yet but we did a ton of flowers, at any given time our back cooler that is about 25’ x 25’ was full of not only with our loose flowers but all the arrangements that we had made up ready for delivery. We had 7 drivers those three days and the trucks were full each trip. We covered most all of the Oklahoma City area and even went to Edmond which is kind of out of our delivery area.

Now the cleanup begins, we are trying to regroup and get the shop back in working order. Most people don’t realize all the work and effort that goes into doing a major Holiday like this. It takes about two weeks of planning and ordering all the flowers and sometimes it’s kind of guess work as to how much to order and what all that we think that we will be selling in those three days.

Then it comes down to all the additional staff that we need to make this happen. We had 7 designers and 5 people on the phones. And all in all things went smoothly for us this year. We hope that those of you that ordered your flowers and either picked them up or had them delivered we hope that you were pleased with what we did for you and we hope that you had a wonderful Valentine’s Day…

Thanks,
Jac and the Staff at Morrison’s
