Gratitude for the Simple Things in Life

November 27, 2014 by import Leave a Comment

As we officially begin the holidays the team at Inspirations by Gina wishes everyone a Happy, Safe and Blessed Thanksgiving. While we are all at the Thanksgiving table with friends and family, make sure to think about what you are grateful for. The simple things in life like being able to breath, have a strong heartbeat, your health, family and friends. Be grateful that you live in a free country in which you are allowed to work, play and dream.

What are you grateful for this holiday season?

A Special Thank You to All Veterans, Past, Present and Future

November 11, 2014 by import Leave a Comment

Many Americans today have the day off because of Veteran’s Day is a national holiday and not think about how special this day truly is. We at Inspirations by Gina would like to say to all who have served in our military, we thank you. The sacrifices you made in honor and duty to our country are worthy of praise. You truly are American heroes! Without your sacrifices in the past, present and future, Inspirations by Gina nor any other American could not be afforded the freedoms that we hold dear to our hearts.

Repurpose Recyle Reuse

November 10, 2014 by import Leave a Comment

In our off time, the team at Inspirations by Gina love to go to eclectic consignment stores and thrift shops to see what we can find for our clients. One of our favorite places to go is Urban Ore in Berkeley, CA. You never know what you might find there. Since repurposing and recycling is so cool and hip and at the same time helps out our beautiful planet and the fragile eco system, we thought you might like how various wagons are used.

WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY

Everything about working with this business was easy and wonderful! I appreciated the thoughtful follow-up as soon as I had made the order and the willingness to answer my questions. On the day of the delivery, I loved getting a text message and pic of the bouquet being delivered! Last and definitely not least, the bouquet was gorgeous and I loved the colors they chose. I will definitely be using Inspirations By Gina in the future!

Gina did a beautiful job on an arrangement of flowers I sent a loved one for their birthday. I was beyond impressed and will absolutely place more orders with her. Thank you, Gina!

I had the privilege of working with Gina this past week at an event at Black Oak Mountain Vineyards and was so impressed by her dedication to making sure everything was just right. She's kind, she has a ton of experience, and her work is stunning!

I went to an event at University of Redlands where Gina did the centerpieces. They were absolutely stunning! Unique, elegant, and fun. Would totally recommend her for your wedding or event flowers.

Gina will BRING IT on your wedding day! With Gina's experience and creative mind, your wedding florals will be perfectly matched to your style and vision.

We contacted Gina to provide a Dallas Cowboys themed flower arrangement for a large pedestal table located in the vestibule of the venue we were holding our loved one’s celebration of life service. With very little input from me Gina created the most beautiful arrangement and it was a show stopper! We appreciate Gina her professional attitude and creativity in our very difficult time. That arrangement put smiles on our faces all night long! Thanks Gina!

I've had the opportunity to work with as well as utilize Gina's floral services and design skills. This had been mostly when designing events for the Sacramento chapter of NACE. She has always delivered on her commitments with class, consistently, efficiently and with a flair of creativeness. Trust and invest properly and you will be more than pleased with your decision.

Gina is the kind of florist that you come across once in a lifetime. She is talented, thoughtful, and has the gift of conveying emotion through her work. A group of friends and I reached out to Gina to help us show support to a friend whose grandmother had passed away. She was incredible to work with and created a stunning arrangement that she delivered with great care. I can't recommend Gina enough!

What an amazing beginning to the @slowflowerssummi

What an amazing beginning to the @slowflowerssummit @banffcentre! It was so nice to see product from Canadian flower farmers, have fabulous cocktails and catch up with colleagues such as @mermaidcityflowers and meet new connections. Lot of flower power in the room. What we love about flowers is that they don’t discriminate! Flowers don’t care who you love, your pronouns, your ethnicity, who you worship or what gender you go by or even if you go by no gender. Flowers create beauty in such an ugly world!

This is our third year at #bouquetstoart @deyoungm

This is our third year at #bouquetstoart @deyoungmuseum! Every year we see, acknowledge and grow with each exhibit! Absolutely blown away by all the talented designers who are participating this week.

This year our design was inspired by Georgia O’Keeffe’s painting Three Pears. If you look closely we decided to use zip ties and protea pin cushion to mimic the pears! A modern spin on such a classic painting! Swipe left to see all the different sides of the design and the painting that inspired us! Check out our design along all the other designers through Sunday!

I usually don’t post personal things on IG but last month I lost my labradoodle Brandy to a brain tumor. She was my joy, the daughter I never had and the ultimate boss babe who would chase me around the house sheep herding me. She was feisty and a sassy diva. Just like her human! 🤣 my nickname for her was girlfriend because she walked and barked with authority and knew she was the HBIC in the neighborhood! 👑🐾❤️

My husband commissioned @keithholmanart to surprise me with this wonder painting of my girlfriend. He named it “The Florist’s Daughter”. Thank you my friend! Love you and your talent! 😘💜

Y’all need to check out @keithholmanart on IG! Brotha man is super talented and got some mad skillz!
