I’ve had the pleasure, recently, to deliver a gorgeous fall colored bouquet of fresh flowers for a client that found us via the web. Because BiZi Bee is a studio floral shop, the web (bizibeefloral.com) and phone (206-883-5522) are the best ways to place an order with me. BiZi Bee used to be located in a retail storefront, which as you know, can generate a lot of overhead. With our new model (studio), we’re able to keep our prices very reasonable and offer the same great service we always have. And offer the freshest product out there, since we do buy from local farms and direct from the growers. Organic and Veriflora certified products.

But, back to the topic of “Birthday” flowers. I know that there are those among us that are somewhat like me. I always want my birthday to be the most special. Even if I work, I still want my loved ones to remember me on this day…even if I’m getting older! From cards to a nice dinner out, flowers are always a great way to recognize that special someone on their special day! We all want to feel special and to know that someone remembered that ?? years ago, we were born and in knowing us it makes their life a little better. Say it with flowers and a card. Let them know that you care!

So, give me a call and I’ll be able to help you figure out what flowers will help you say “Happy Birthday”!

I’ve had the great opportunity to visit our local farms these past few weeks.  I have to say that the colors of the gorgeous dahlias and zinnias are so vibrant, one look and you’re happy for the rest of the day!  From magenta to pink, orange to red, verigated varieties galore, any fresh flower bouquet that arrives using delivery of BiZi Bee Floral, your local Seattle florist, will have the recipient thanking you for days!

So, if you want to brighten someone’s day, say “thank you”, or “you’re on my mind”, give me (Heather) a call:206-883-5522 and we can discuss your myriad of options for making life a little easier for you and help you spread the love through flowers.

Remember, a small flower bouquet goes a long way!

Wow! Summertime is blowing by. That heat wave we just had was brutal! But, I’m also speaking as someone who wishes the weather could stay at 70 degrees! It’s such a wonderful time of year, lots of flowers in bloom outside. And with the spring arriving late this year, it’s just prolonging the blooming of some beautiful local flowers, like zinnias and dahlias!

With summer coming to an end, it doesn’t mean that your space has to be without flowers. BiZi Bee Floral, your local Seattle florist, delivers! From Alstromerias to Zinnias, we’ve got you covered!

We’re having an end of summer special that has all locally grown flowers delivered to your door for no more than $35! Flowers are a treat. Do you know someone deserving?

So, if you want to brighten someone’s day or just say “hi”–fresh flowers are the way to go! Give us a call: 206-883-5522 and talk to Heather. We can deliver same day and make you a hero!

Here we are: Wedding Season.  I can tell you that I am so very thrilled to be doing some awesome weddings this summer.  Wedding work is definately a favorite of mine.  It’s such a wonderful time to be involved with some amazing clients!  Being in love is unto itself..and for me, I get to help express your love on a very important day..your wedding day!

Being that BiZi Bee deals with organic, VeriFlora certified and local product, I like to incorporate these into the wedding events that I do.  I was sad to learn, on a recent outing to my local farms (Bothell and Woodinville), that the planting season came a little later than anticipated this year.  We had such a long winter and late Spring that many of my farms weren’t able to plant their crops until late May instead of late April as they usually do.

What this means for you: those wonderful flowers like amaranthus, dahlias, zinnia, and the like won’t be available (locally) until late July early August.  But, don’t fret…we can still get these flowers (they may be a little more costly than usual) from other places..mainly California and Canada.  So, my advice to you, if your planning  a June or July wedding, make sure to talk to your florist (I am availble to take questions via the phone as well: 206-883-5522) about the best flowers that will be available and if you have your heart set on local product only, then August and September would be awesome months to be married, as this is when most of the great locally grown flowers will be coming out.

Peonies and calla lillies that are locally grown, are nearing their end in late June this year.  They’re available from other sources until about the first few days of july.  I can tell you that the delphinium and freesia are gorgeous right now!

I have a gorgeous wedding that I will be doing this weekend for Megan and Josh that is a green “Green” wedding..meaning the flowers that are being used are that fantastic lime green colors and creams, they’re Veriflora certified and the containers for the centerpieces are totally recyclable and made from recycled materials (they’re called BlumeBoxes!)  I look forward to posting the pics on the site for all to see.

I hope this helped you out a little.  Please feel free to email me from here or give me a call.  My name is Heather and I would love to hear from you!  206-883-5522

BiZi Bee Floral located in Lake City is moving!  Don’t fret though!  We’ll be just a mile away from our previous location and still offering terrific fresh flowers (Veriflora certified and from environmentally friendly and socially conscious production) with great customer service!

As you may know, BiZi Bee is a local family run (husband and wife + child) business .  It is our passion for our clients that has led us to take a new path.  We had been in our old location for 2 years, sacrificing everything that we had to be there.  At some point, we needed to take inventory and ask ourselves, “what can we do better to make sure our clients are getting the best service and freshest flowers?”  Considering that 90% of our business is phone and internet led us to the answer: A smaller, more organized location that would be benefitial to YOU (our client) and for us.

Along the way, we have made many friends and have had the opportunity to serve many wonderful customers.  We love this area and will be offering the same great service and best prices on grower direct flowers!  There are no middle men.  We order direct from socially responsible growers and have the flowers sent directly to us.  This will provide our customers with the best available and longest lasting product = happy customers!

I hope you’ll come see us at: 10015 Lake City Way #125; Seattle, WA 98125.  We’ll be located in the ActiveSpace building acros from Trikke cycle and the Spaghetti House on Lake City Way.

Prom season has arrived here in the Seattle area. With the limo rentals, tux rentals, dress buying, shoe buying, hair/makeup/nails (try the Diva Nail Salon located right next door to us) appointments, the jewelry to match the gown, the dinner reservations and the fantastic partying (make sure to be safe!), there is one thing that you shouldn’t stress about…that’s the gorgeous and unique wrist corsage that you want to be wearing that will match your dress and provide lasting memories for years to come.

I remember my prom (many many many years ago! haha!), I wore a gorgeous red velvet dress (don’t laugh..it was great for the era!), black heels, pearl jewelry and my date bought me a wrist corsage that was red roses with white babies breath and black ribbon. We had a great night of dancing, laughing, eating, etc. But I remember how I felt when he showed up with those flowers…relieved that he remembered such a detail and happy that they matched.
Let BiZi Bee Floral, located in North Seattle, take the worry and stress out of the flower part of your night. From orchids, roses, spray roses, petite roses, freesia, alstromeria, or kermit mums…we’ll have all colors and styles covered.

Sure, you could always go to the grocery store..I won’t tell you how many wristletts I’ve had to make at the last minute because the corsage that was made was not Prom worthy.  My advice to you…”Get BiZi–Bee Happy!”

Although we are moving our shop, our phone number will be the same (206-440-8819) and we’re super easy to find. We’ll be at 12304 Lake City Way Ne, Seattle, WA 98125 through the 24th of May. Then we’ll be at our fantastic location across from the Spaghetti House off Lake City way at 10015 Lake City Way NE suite 125, Seattle, WA 98125 (in the ActivSpace building)

 We, here at BiZi Bee Floral in North Seattle, strive to make the world a better place..through flowers!  Not only are flowers beautiful to look at and smell, but they lift spirits and make people happier.  So, why not take it a step further by providing our clients with flowers that are grown in an environmentally friendly way?! 

We buy our flowers directly from the growers (all of which are Veriflora certified)…which leads to this question clients have..what does Veriflora certified and sustainable mean?  Here’s the answer: 

The VeriFlora certification program was established to provide stringent sustainability performance standards for growers and handlers of cut flowers and potted plants. It empowers each of us to stand up for sustainability standards that encompass all of the important issues, and to support the farmers and businesses who are making sustainability a reality.

Being Veriflora certified and organic are 2 seperate issues.  To be truly organic is based on a system of farming that maintains and replenishes soil fertility without the use of toxic and persistent pesticides and fertilizers.  Veriflora is very close and strives to be even closer to fully organic soon.  I came across a really great article that you could can check out here about the different ways flower growers are striving to be more “green”.

We do visit a local farm and buy product directly from them during the season and know that she runs her operation as organic.  I did a wedding last year, using farm flowers and it turned out amazing and better yet, it was all organic.  But, during the off peak season for locally grown organic product, we only order from Veriflora certified growers.

We can certainly also get USDA Organic flowers (variety is a little scarce, usually roses and calla lilies) and need a weeks notice for any special orders/colors.  If you’re going to use the roses “on” a food(cake), always make sure to rinse, even the organic ones.

So, if you’re looking for a “green” local Seattle florist, BiZi Bee Floral is here to deliver!

Research conducted by Rutgers University and the Society of American Florists indicates that flowers have an immediate impact on the happiness of the recipient, have a long-term positive effect on people’s moods, and increase the connections among family and friends. Not only that, but a study by researchers at Texas A & M University shows that flowers and plants improve productivity, innovation, and creativity in the workplace.
