| Getting the job done: Florist John Fasino
When you are a mother, now's the time to stop and smell the roses. All the different services -- Teleflora, FTD, 1-800-Flowers -- we stock their products that they're going to advertise, so we have so many cases of each one, and when we're out of them, we're out of them. The hardest thing is ordering flowers. But this year it might be worse, because there's two less shops (in the area). I would say it's a little cheaper, but not much. Oh yeah. Quite a bit. Yes. Normally we only have two designers and one driver. The amount of time it takes to prepare all the arrangements -- we're trying to help the kids so I had one girl for the last two weeks just prepping all the corsages and stuff. What I tell them is, you let the florist design it and just give me a price range and I'll work with it. But with two decades experience we know. Yes it does, but the worst thing in Flagler County for the last 15 years is the board of education having the prom the night of Mother's Day weekend. There's only so much you can handle. All we've got to do is add flowers now. It's nothing like it is for Valentine's Day. John Fasino talked shop with the News-Journal last week as the big day was approaching. And everyone's mother moves to Florida. We do a lot of preparation. All different arrangements have different flowers. |
