Our Holiday Boutique!

Whew! What a wedding season! I've had a hard time keeping up with this blog because we have been so busy lately with our October weddings. We still have a few more to go before the season is over, but I wanted to share a few things that we have been planning behind the scenes.

First I have to share the super cute new logo for Mocha Rose that will go live on our website shortly. This was created by my amazing assistant, Andrew. We have named the bird "Chicken" even though we are pretty sure it is not a chicken. Andrew designed it after a ceramic peacock pot, an heirloom from my grandmother that she purchased when she lived in Mexico City.

You will be seeing "Chicken" pop up everywhere in the future because apparently Chicken likes to be fashionable and change with the season. I digress.

The new logo is actually the first step in the changes you will see at our studio. The change that we are most excited about is the opening of our Holiday Boutique! From November 24th-December 22nd, we will be opening the doors our our studio to the public, Monday-Saturday, 12-7 p.m. We are transforming our little design studio into a boutique gift shop where you can purchase designer glassware, one of a kind holiday ornaments, home decor, candles and fresh flowers.

We want your home to be modern and stylish for all of you holiday guests and of the parties you will be throwing. We've made it our mission to be your source. The boxes have been coming in daily and the decorations are going up next week. Just check out these glamorous Chandelier Ornaments we received today.

Stay tuned to the blog for more updates. We will be hosting an Open House on Black Friday weekend and will have lots of sales and special shopping events. (Psst...If you sign up as a registered member on our website, http://www.mocharose.com/ , you will receive invitations to special VIP events and sales).

We will also be accepting orders for holiday floral designs shortly, both through our website and over the phone.

There is one last addition that we hope will make it much easier for our brides to communicate with us. Check out http://www.epicflowers.com/ It's still in development and I'll let you know when everything is ready to go. You'll be able to log in and communicate with us through this website where you can chat online, post pictures of your ideas and send us private messages. We are very excited to be one of the first florists worldwide to be a part of this cutting edge technology.

Okay...back to weddings! Leslie and Ben, you are up next! I can't wait to see you on Saturday. Everything will be gorgeous.
