Does anyone have a large dog crate I can borrow through the storm?
Trying to house a family’s dog that can’t be allowed into a shelter for lack of shots.
I’m willing to put the dog up at my flower shop but the crate they have him in currently is too small.
Willing to pay if you don’t want it back… Otherwise just borrowing it

By The Bay Floral is NOT evacuating.
Just throwing that out there because we all just got back from our vacation in Savannah last night and we have lots of preparations to do now.
I am picking up all of my flowers for our weddings this weekend, so if you are one of my couples… No worries, your flowers are already here in town!
Our home, Flower shop and Warehouse are all in non-evacuation zones. We will be riding it out here and spending the next 24 hours or so finishing up preparations for the house and shop.
I will not be answering phone calls for the shop today so that we have time to catch up on hurricane prep.
If it is anemergency and you need to reach me, please send me a text, and I will do my best to get back to everybody…
Love you all and stay safe :0)

Sending love to all of you who are getting married in the month of October and November!

As a wedding vendor that works a lot on Saint Pete Beach up through Clearwater Beach I just wanted to send all of you a little bit of hope!
I know that every hotel has been affected a little differently, but we’re getting a lot of good news from some of the hotels already.

If your wedding is in November, I would not lose hope at all. It will probably be another week before everything is officially assessed, and official decisions made… But truthfully, if your wedding is in November, I would not fret.

Also, for those of you who are in October, even those getting married in the next couple weeks… There are a few hotels that are already saying they’re going to be ready and open for your weddings.

The Sirata on Saint Pete Beach is going to be holding their first wedding this week 🙂
I’m also hearing very good things about the Thunderbird hotel on Treasure Island.
And there are several planners here locally that have found local locations for those couples who are unable to get married at their hotels. Places that are matching prices and are well within local distance… many in St. Petersburg, Clearwater, Dunedin, and other Pinellas county locations.

Do not lose faith, you have hundreds of wedding vendors on your side that are all willing to drop everything and help!

Yesterday we said goodbye to my baby girl Cattleya.
She was my everything for almost 12 years. From her first days sleeping in my lap, then more years to follow crushing everyone elses.
She had a Great long life playing with doggie friends and family, putting up with her sister Opal and even helping me out modeling for@styled shoots at work.
Heaven has the prettiest angel now and I miss her more than words can say.
** we will be taking some time to ourselves to emotionally deal with this so if I am not quick to respond to texts or emails the next few days, know you are important to us, we just need a little time to grieve. I will be delivering all prescheduled events, but we will not be taking any appointments for a bit. ***
