Sugar Magnolia

We won Brides Choice award for Wedding Wire 2012

2012-02-07T21:49:00.000-08:00

What a bittersweet end to such an amazing career in the floral and design industry. Winning this award means I am in the top 5% of the floral designers in the country. I could not have done this without having Brides that shared a creative vision and trusted me to make there dream a reality.

Thank you so much to all of you.

These were my favorite brides of 2011

ENJOY

STORE CLOSING in 15 days 50% off

2012-01-26T20:12:00.000-08:00

Things are literally flying off my shelves and I am going to share with you people and customers over the next 15 days that have filled my days with laughter and have come in to wish me luck and get my goods that they have always loved. You all have been my best clients, friends, and overall always made my days better. ( IN NO ORDER OF IMPORTANCE) if you aren't on here its because you haven't come in silly :)

Christina Ivanhoe and Hannah (ZACH ALSO PICTURED HERE STILL HAVENT MET)

Christina Ivanhoe owns Ivanhoe couture the best place to get tutus, bling bling on just about anything from the cutest shoes, tops, bows you name it she will make it and thats why my clients over the years have fallen in love with her. She has the kindest soul and has always supported me and Sugar Magnolia. She was in the store before I put out the news so I would say she was my first shopper. Thank you for enriching my life with not only you but Hannah as she has brought home every single Jelly cat stuffed animal I have ever carried in the store and has used every single marker for all her works of art done at Sugar Magnolia. I have also read her just about every children's book I have carried. We will continue to be friends and I am sure of it.

Next up is Shauna Kupetz the owner of Jam on 1st street in old town scottsdale.

The coolest place to get anything made locally. The first time I went into her historical shop it took my breath away. Seriously..This place should not need introductions as it should be the spot anyone goes to get unique presents for friends or yourself. She stumbled upon my store with Summer Ross (who is next on my list) when they were bringing Summer's kids to Safari kids next door. Oh what a fateful day to have them in. Shauna could be the most passionate person I know. She loves her store and all the talented people in the phoenix area. She has given everyone a place to sell their passion. She unites all of us motivated, strong, and independent leaders together and boy is it a powerful feeling to be among the upcoming brilliant minds in our market place. You are the most Jammin' person. Keep motivating and inspiring all of us.

Summer Ross

If you were reading above you will know that Summer stumbled into my store and automatically became my biggest fan. She came in the first time only to come in less than 12 hours later the next morning to get something else. She has brought in her mother in law, best friends, mother, sister, and basically anyone she knows. I couldn't be more grateful and appreciative for it. But that is NOT why she is so special. In all the times she has come into my store she has not ever bought something for herself (except a pair of earrings and she even made that into a pre birthday present). She always thinks of everyone else before herself which makes her a wonderful mother, wife to her husband, and friend. I will miss you but know I will keep in touch with you. We have too much in common to not keep in touch. Thank you for being such a joy!

Taylor Moran

Taylor Moran, one of the best realtors in phoenix. GOOGLE IT! :) She once told me if someone was foreclosed on their home she refused to take commission on the house. That is a pure heart! She has been a client of mine for the last 9 months but felt like she has been around since we opened. If you have ever met her before you know I am telling the truth when I say that she could be anybody's best friend. You feel like you have known her your whole life within minutes of meeting her. She always has come in with her sunny sweet presence and made me feel like I was on the right track with my buying for each season. We normally averaged 1 or 2 hours of talking if she came in. She is expecting her third child in april and its been fun to watch her sweet baby bump grow. I know for sure we will have play dates and stay connected...Linnea will keep us up to date with each others lives and make sure it happens. Thank you for being so supportive!

Nancy Hollinger

Nancy used to be apart of Angel Mamas a charity organization in the scottsdale area. She has been one of our biggest fans since we have been open. She has sent flowers to many people over the years and has referred me to many. She is a true sweetheart and couldn't have felt more honored that you took such a liking for what we have done over the years. Thank you for being such a constant fan!

Store Closing Sale

2012-01-24T21:29:00.000-08:00

After 3 1/2 years of enjoying each and every one of you in my store it is time for me to start a new chapter in my life and that is to spend time with my husband and 3 beautiful and healthy children. I have made great friends along the way and have had nothing but the best brides.
Sugar Magnolia opened September 18th 2008 and will be closing February 10th 2012. That means that I need to sell everything in the store in 17 days. That includes even my beautiful Schonbek Bolero Green Chandeliers. Please if you have ever wanted something you didn't think was for sale, come in and guaranteed its for sale. The store even has all my Halloween and Christmas down.
Even if you don't want to buy anything please come and have your last visit with me. It would mean everything to me.
And did I mention that everything is 50% off.

During this journey I will blog about everyone that has come in and what they have meant to me over the years :) A reflection of my favorite memories.

What a wonderful thing to put in your house. I have two at my own home that are connected to an antique glass baby bottle and you can actually put your childs first hair cut, first lost tooth and anything else that is very sentimental in the bottle as a beautiful keepsake.

A must see!

Lafco does it again with their new fragrance from their dream home collection called Ranch House Big Sky. White Patchouli is layered with rich notes of pink peppercorns and camelia. It is a sure winner for fall and winter. I cannot wait to burn this in my own home!

Don't let the Pigeon Drive the Bus

2010-07-24T19:20:00.000-07:00

A great book by Mo Williams and wonderful to have the pigeon stuffed animal that screams "Let me Drive the Bus!!!!" My youngest son walked out my store today with this under his arm. I got home from work and he is still carrying it around. A great gift for young boys and girls!

Remember Sugar Magnolia always gift wraps for free!

La Vie Parisienne

If you need a show stopping piece of jewelry you must come in and make this purchase. I clearly own one of my own and cannot go anywhere without women stopping me asking where I bought it. Its on a 40" chain that can be worn long or doubled up. The rich uniqueness will turn any classic outfit to modern chic in a heartbeat!

"If I had a hundred wishes I would give them all to you"

2010-07-21T18:11:00.000-07:00

If you asked me on any given day what my absolute favorite item in the store is, nestled in the front corner of Sugar Magnolia, in a vintage table drawer are "WISH TICKETS." It is the most amazing gift on it's own and carries with it the most incredible sentiment...who would not want to extend to someone you love 100 wishes??....this simple gift captures the heart and delivers love like nothing else. It is a great gift on it's own, the perfect add on to a flower arrangement, candy display,birthday gift, shower gift or even a house warming gift. The "WISH TICKETS" are ageless, a child, teen, or any adult will feel, know and understand the sentiment behind this simple yet powerful vintage gift.

I absolutely love the textures brought in through the use of succulents and the pop of eggplant calla lilies. Nothing is more vintage than antiqued mercury glass. LOVE IT!

I am so proud of our store but I don't feel like our website is a good reflection of us. That is why I have been working on a new website for a couple months with Net-Craft Media and the lovely Keith Pitts Photography for all of our product images for the new website. Expect to see a magical website by us at the End of august. Where you can actually order flowers!!!! :)

Today we had the pleasure of helping out with such a lovely bridal shower. The mother of the groom, Joy whom is the sweetest lady one could meet, hired us to do the flowers for her Lily Pultzer themed event. The event took place at Arcadia Farms in Scottsdale, if you have never had the opportunity to eat there I suggest you try it.

For the flowers we used three colors of peonies and Green hydrangea, and filled the vases with tri-colored gum balls. The tables also had darling menu cards and very yummy Lily like cookies. I hope the bride to be enjoys her day it was so cute!

Just in time for Mothers Day Pink on Pink on Pink what could be sweeter, maybe adding a box of chocolates?

Sugar Magnolia Scottsdale AZ. What a flower shop should be

2009-04-21T05:46:00.000-07:00

Welcome

It will be a year come September, but many have yet to see our shop. We have worked so very hard to make it a special place that we hope our customers will not want to leave. Every detail comes from our hearts and imaginations and every item has been selected and tested by us. When we get new items in we, the owners, are the first to buy and taste, everything that you see in the store you would also find in our homes. We wanted to create a store that we would shop in and the kind of shop that we felt was missing in our neighborhood. Our hope for this venture is to bring personal touches back to gift giving and floral delivery, no more FTD for Scottsdale customers. Here is a peek as to what one might find at Sugar Magnolia, but keep in mind our merchandise is always changing and you never know what you might find. Also stay tuned to our blog we will be posting fresh ideas for everything from gifts to home, weddings, parties, and more!!!!!!
