Our specials this week are different than we've had in week's past - monochromatic blooms, rather than a mix of complimenting colors. We have Valentine's Day on the mind and these arrangements reflect a touch of the holiday, with their romantic tones. They also match the dark and stormy weather we've been having in Boston recently with rich deep purples of varying shades. All of the flowers work well together to create a striking flower arrangement that is sure to be the perfect addition to your home or office! Stop by the shop and pick one up for you or that special someone.
Valentines Day Designing
Comment
It's that time of year again for the Rouvalis team to creatively design Valentine's Day arrangements using the highest quality flowers from around the world. This years product line brainstorming began just after New Year's, taking into consideration availability from farms, color schemes and overall the signature Rouvalis style.
After weeks of ideas and designs the flowers arrived and designers quickly made work of them bringing the product line into fruition this past weekend. Starting February 1st we will be blogging and discussing each arrangement daily with the thought process behind each arrangement.
Don't forget to check back in on February 1st!
Winter Weddings
CommentOur designers just finished the flowers for a small, outdoor winter wedding - we are hoping for some warm temperatures!
The main colors for the fresh flowers were whites, peaches, and greens, which we love for this time of year. Very fresh and seasonal, and the peach adds a soft pop of color.
The beautiful bridal bouquet - including ranunculus, garden roses, freesia, thistle, hydrangea, and eucalyptus.
The boutonnieres and pin-on corsages for the groom and parents of the bride and groom. We tied elements of the bridal bouquet into the groom's boutonniere like the ranunculus and blue thistle.
The best part of the whole wedding - a boutonniere for the couple's dog!
Award Winning Rose.
Comment
The team at Rouvalis would like to congratulate our rose grower Rosaprima on their award wining rose "The Black Pearl". We have been using this grower since 2013 and have had numerous variety's of roses throughout the years including the award winning The Black Pearl a rose we use during Christmas and Valentine's day.
The rose grown exclusively by Rosaprima for the most demanding and creative clientele, The Black Pearl rose defines luxury and elegance at its finest. Characterized by plush, velvety petals, deep merlot hues, and an impressive longevity, the beautiful complexity of this rose is awe-inspiring.
It took almost a decade for the Rosaprima team, alongside rose breeder NIRP International, to develop this unique rose. In 2012, recognizing the potential for The Black Pearl’s elusive shape and color, Rosaprima acquired the worldwide growing and exclusive distribution rights for the variety.
This year, The Black Pearl is recognized internationally for two prestigious awards:
- Agriflor 2016 Exhibition, Gold Award Winner
- SAF 2016 Outstanding Varieties Competition, Best in Class Winner
Rosaprima is a company with a passion for growing roses and a firm belief that they are doing is extraordinary work in the flower business. Since being founded in 1995, thier values have remained the same: unequaled craftsmanship, sound business practices, and a belief that roses have an important place in life’s most precious moments.
Orchids
CommentOrchids typically have a reputation for being a finicky plant to take care of, but they're just the opposite! Only requiring water once every two weeks and indirect sunlight, orchids are an elegant and simple house plant.
It is always nice to have a pop of color in the house, especially after the holiday decorations have come down and rooms can feel bare. Come by the shop or visit "Plants & Orchids" under "Shop" above to see our whole orchid collection! Below is a close-up of a stunning phalaenopsis orchid that we currently have in the shop!

Plant Groupings
CommentPlants are great to have in the home or office for so many reasons, but especially during these cold Boston winters, they add a much needed pop of color! Plant groupings are a great way to fill out a corner and have a variety of textures, colors, and shapes! Essentially, for an effective grouping, you need house plants that have coordinating pots and varying heights.
It's best to start with something tall, then have a medium, and small plant - odd numbers are best. Depending on the size of the space you are working with, you could have multiple plants on the same height, or even a mini-grouping at the base. We just re-did our counter with a plant grouping, shown below as an example!
Here, we used a large snake plant, a medium alocasia (left) and calathea (right), and filled out the center with two beautiful lady slipper orchids. All of these plants have similar, dark green tones, and paired with gray pots, creates a classic and full display.
Need help putting together a plant grouping of your own? Our designers are happy to help! Give us a call or stop by.
