'Tis the Season for Promposals!
Back in the day you were just asked if you wanted to go to Prom... times were easier then, you just had to get up the nerve to ask.
These days, put on your creative hat and have fun!
Pictured above is the first promposal that happened in the Flower Shop last year. We were happy to be a part of his special proposal and... she said, "Yes!"
 
It's so nice to see these young men tapping into their creative side to make a lasting impression with the hopes of a 'yes' answer.

Take Gavin Naskrent for example. Not only did he have Sandi, Countryside Floral Designer create a sweet candy bouquet for his girlfriend Brooke Enslow but he even had his work in on it.

They let him borrow their reader board to put the promposal out there for all (but mainly her) to see!

And, she said, "Yes!"





Stop in the Flower Shop to customize your flowers. Select just the right flowers, ribbon and bling, wristlet, corsage or nosegay - the choices are endless!




Thank you for sharing your promposals with us!
