Description: “Blissful Blossoms Floral & Gifts” is a Family floral and gift shop, wedding and events too. We will focus on creative dazzling floral arrangements and keeping our customers happy and will create an artsy and gift wonderland for walk in customers. My flower shop is to be located in the new down town core of Kenmore, (URL removed), there is a spot close to City Hall right now that I could start the Flower shop, or a Floral studio at home, while the new shops are being built. I think there is a great need for a flower shop in Kenmore. I would be the only Fresh flower shop other than Safeway floral Department. I would get most wire orders from other Florists across the country sending flowers to Kenmore. Florists like to choose a flower shop from the closest zip code so that would guarantee I would get 5 -20 orders/day at least and walk in traffic as well. I am quite excited to open my Floral Studio or Flower Shop. I thought it would be fine to start small and build slowly and with little start up but a friend said that I could be more successful starting up with everything I needed for a year, employees at least 1-2 other designers and a floral delivery driver and several around Valentines day. So I have been working on a business plan but need some help to finish it or see what else I should do for the business plan. Also the spot I am looking at has enough room to start an after school club for 4-6th graders. I would hire employees with child care experience. There is a need for an affordable after school care/safe place to hang out for this age group. This is an idea that is fairly new but I think could work. I have been a Floral Designer since 1994 working for other Flower Shops, I’ve Graduated from the Floral Design Institute in Seattle Washington. Here is a slide show I made for my Nephew and his new Bride; you can see the flowers I design for the bridal party and family: (URL removed) Also here is a link for the professional photographer pictures of the wedding: (URL removed) Thank you for any idea or tips, Sincerely, Dana Ann Dawes Blissful Blossoms Floral and Gifts Dana Ann Dawes [<a href="(URL removed)">send me a message</a>]
