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!

It just seems that within a blink of an eye, summer is half over. BiZi Bee, your local Seattle florist, has been busy with so many wonderful events this summer. From Grand Openings to large business events to weddings, we seem to be part of some awesome occassions! Nothing is too big or too small to have us help put that special touch into an event you’ve been planning.

I recently had the opportunity to do some gorgeous arrangements with white hydrangea, white stock, white roses, white freesia and gardenias for a elegant summer wedding shower. Thank you Carla, for calling on us!

There was also the BizJam event that we did some awesome green, black and white arrangements for Biznik, which happens to be a phenomenal business networking group! Thank you Lara and Dan!

And then, the weddings. I hope to get some pics onto the site for you to see. For one, I stayed up for a full 24 hours to make sure it was as gorgeous as anticipated with pink hydrangeas, roses, freesia, faux cherry blossoms, curly willow…I have to say, it was some of my most favorite work yet. Congrats Maria and Wendall!

Congrats to Megan and Josh for having BiZi Bee be part of your big day! They chose to have their wedding on the Skansonia. Gorgeous location! It’s an old ferry boat turned into venue. Very charming and earthy. We did organic locally grown flowers and VeriFlora certified flowers for their wedding along with recyclable containers. BiZi Bee really is all about sustainability and Mother Earth….even before it was cool!

The colors chosen for Julia and Sam were gorgeous reds, lime greens and a hint of lavender. I have to say…it was gorgeous! With dahlias (hard to come by as of last week due to a late winter), lime green fuji mums, red gerberas, red roses, belles of ireland, red spray roses, and lavender freesia…this was a truly spectacular wedding for a young couple so vibrant and full of life! Congrats Julia and Sam! With a special thanks to Judy and Pastor Jon!

Congrats to Charlene and Adam! This was a very simple affair…with cream calla lilies and cream roses. Very elegant and understated, but still wonderful to be part of!

I, Heather, wish you all the best! Thank you so much for the opportunity to be part of your special day! And remember, if you ever have any questions about event florals or wedding florals, please don’t hesitate to call me at: 206-883-5522

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.
