November is one of those months that feels so busy because we are all preparing. Our studio is busier than ever and I am so excited to Holiday Season with you! We are offering flower arrangements for all the occasions - Thanksgiving, a gift to your client, for you, to anyone you need to say “I’m sorry” to! For all the reasons! You can order, here on our website, for delivery on Thursdays only. For the week of Thanksgiving, we will deliver on that Wednesday, November 22. It feels like November just started but we will be closing our orders for Thanksgiving next week, on November 15th. Ah- get your orders in!
The place card table arrangement that we made for Ailie & Andrew’s wedding this November. We’ll show you more photos of their wedding soon, it was so beautiful! This style arrangement would make a great welcome piece to your event of home for the holidays!

Thanksgiving is a big deal at my family’s house, definitely more than Christmas or any other holiday. I was having dinner with my parents last week and we were talking about the Thanksgiving menu. My dad (who is a Marine veteran and takes hosting kinda seriously and believes that plenty of food means there isn’t enough) mentioned a few times how Thanksgiving was only three weekends away and how the holiday is early this year. I can always count on my dad to keep me posted on how much time we have left, I call it Military time. Now, that kind of talk sometimes sends me into a panic. I mean, we still have three weeks left, no wait, two weeks now. But overall, he’s right. Thanksgiving IS coming up. But also, this isn’t our first rodeo, we’ve got this. (You’ve got this, too!) I offered to help order the pies and said out loud, “I’ll order them next week” and then I remembered that I said the same thing last year and I forgot to order the pies from Palmer’s, the best around IMO (I always check to see if Sister Pie has started to ship from Detroit). So anyway, last year, I forgot to order the pies from Palmer’s in time, and so I had to go with another option, which was good, but it wasn’t Palmer’s. Instead of putting ORDER PIES on my to do list and letting it nag me for the next three weeks, I just ordered right then and there. I pulled out my phone, ordered three pies - two pecan maple and one pumpkin pie. Done. The pies never made it to my to do list and the job was complete. It’s the little things like this that make me happy, because, Virgo. All this to say, don’t wait to order your Thanksgiving flowers! Morale of the story? Do it now!
Two workshops are coming up this month! The first, “Make your own Thanksgiving Centerpiece,” is on Tuesday, November 21 (week of Thanksgiving) at Flat Vernacular in Norwalk from 6-7:30pm. Our next and last workshop of the year is “Make your own Wreath,” also at Flat Vernacular on November 30th from 6-7:30pm.
I am so excited to have Made Floral pop up at the Shinola store in Tribeca on November 18+19 and December 22+23. Shinola holds a special place in my heart, we have been working together for nearly 8 years now! It’s so sweet to work with the Shinola team on the east coast and midwest when I’m back there. Really looking forward to meeting the team, customers, and offering seasonal items for flowers, plants, wreaths garlands. Stop by the Tribeca store on these dates!
Wedding consultations have our team so busy, and 2024 is going to be a very full year. Honestly, out of all my years of working with flowers (13 years!) I don’t ever remember fall being such a busy time for booking for the following season. Booking season is usually January through March, but this year has definitely started early! I love it! I’m so excited for our new clients and the weddings and floral visions that we get to dream up with them!
Also, we have very exciting news that we’ll share soon! It involves warm weather in December!
