Act Now and Contact Pugh’s Flowers if You will be Needing Wedding Flowers in the Following Months

Pugh's Flowers floral design staff is one of the very best in the Memphis. Reality is that the pandemic in early 2020 had an impact on many things. This included creating a problem for US Florists in receiving timely and complete flower orders from flower farms. It is now strongly recommended that if you are needing to have Wedding Flowers in the next 6-9 months, you should start wedding planning with a florist as soon as possible.  Pugh's Flowers is the premier florist in Memphis TN specializing in the floral planning of elegant weddings. The flower shortage facing all florists is a combination of several factors. One thing is evident and that is most florists in the US and beyond are feeling the pressure. All are doing their very best to find ways to continue servicing their client base in the best way possible. At Pugh's Flowers, we have a professional team of wedding planning experts and designers that create stunning flower bouquets. We would be honored and delighted to get started with you in planning your wedding. Flower Supply Challenges Environmental Changes - Climates in some regions where flowers are grown have changed. In South America, they are reporting colder nights and more rainfall which has negatively affected flower production. Then domestically, many farms are located in California which as we know has been suffering from severe drought conditions. Pugh's Flowers Bridal Bouquets Global Pandemic - We all understand the impact this horrific event had worldwide. This 2020 event snowballed into effecting many different industries including Wholesale Flower Growers. Many had to shut down farms due to quarantine requirements. This in turn resulted in laying off many workers and destroying tons of flowers. Some farms have not reopened and appear to have gone out of business. Breaking it down further to real numbers, the National Association of Wholesale Distributors reported that there were 5.64 million employed in the US floral industry at the end of December 2020. That equates to 247,717 jobs lost between 2019 and 2020. That is the lowest level of floral industry employment in the past seven years. Then furthering the problem was the reduced number of flowers that were grown. Increased Number of Weddings - There is a huge increase in the number of weddings. Many were postponed due to the Pandemic. The U.S. Wedding Report study reported that in 2021 there were an estimated 1.93 million weddings scheduled. That number for 2022 has climbed to 2.47 million. This increase in the demand for wedding flowers coupled with the supply issues is making the problem worse. Foreign Political Pressures - In many parts of the world there are political unrest matters. This is true in Ecuador which is a major supplier of wholesale flowers. There are many protests that have blocked major transportation routes. Numerous flower farms are unable or finding it difficult to transport their flowers to shippers. Consequently, due to these issues, even though people have gotten back to normal and begun [...]

Decorate your Office with Fresh and Beautiful Plants from Pugh’s Flowers

Pugh's Flowers offers Permanent Botanicals which make wonderful gifts. Have you considered the increased popularity of Office Plants now used by many businesses? Today, you often will find plants and flowers as an important part of the office decor. That is largely due to owners and managers understanding the benefits of Office Plants and Flowers for employees and customers. Pugh's Flowers has a wide selection of Fresh Plants and Flowers that are great for any office environment. Most often, it makes people feel that having plants and flowers in the office is like having a little piece of nature indoors. Most people enjoy nature, and this brings a feeling of peace and serenity to an otherwise hectic and demanding environment. Let's look at a list of the actual benefits many studies have shown are derived from having plants and flowers in the office. Increased Office Comfort - We spend many hours working in our offices. Basically, many waking hours. Plants can help the physical atmosphere by controlling such things as humidity. Plants have the ability to either add moisture or reduce moisture depending on the variety. Office Appearance - Companies, especially ones that have clients onsite for visits, want to have an attractive office space on display. Plants can make clients and employees feel more welcome when they enter the building. Better Creativity - Depending on the type of the business, certain offices have to have a constant sense of creativity. For example, a marketing company needs people to come up with sales ideas. Studies have shown that plants offer that feeling of being close to nature which in turn can spark more creative thinking. Increased Happiness - Sometimes an emotion like happiness is underrated. Most everyone would prefer to feel happy while they are working hard. Often the presence of plants creates a sense of happiness which changes the mood of the office. In addition, happier employees generally do not leave to join another company. Turnover is expensive. Improved Acoustics - Studies have shown that offices with plants and flowers are less noisy. Plants actually have shown to have the ability to absorb some sound. We all know how distracting excessive noise can be when you are trying to focus on an assignment for talk on the phone with a customer. Managing Stress - Offices can be stressful with the phones, emails, deadlines and interactions people are tasked with. Introducing some lovely plants and flowers to the workplace can and will help employees contend with the pressure packed environment. Happier and less stressed-out employees can lead to more productivity, satisfied customers and less turnover. In addition, studies have indicated that the fresh scents of certain plants can actually increase the ability to focus.   GREEN SCHEFFLERA The Schefflera plant is easy to take care of and has beautiful foliage.
