Our favorite part about being a florist...

One of our favorite parts about being a florist is helping brides make their special day perfect. We truly enjoy working one on one with brides to be, especially when we get to be extra creative and do out of the ordinary arrangements with tropical flowers.












This arrangement definately falls within the realms of non-traditional and it looks absolutely stunning! In an up close view of this bouquet you can see the Yellow Calla Lillies, Red and Pink toned Roses, Orchids, Red Anthuriums, Iris, Lisianthus and greens.

If you are looking for something traditional or non traditional let Abbott Florist make your Wedding arrangements.

Thanks to Images Photography Studio in Williamstown, NJ for providing us with these awesome photos from the Reid wedding.

More of Our Pretty Prom Models!

We are pretty fortunate to have some great photos sent to us by our loyal customers. At the height of Prom season we thought it would be a good idea to get some young participants to model our arrangements for us. We plan to use these for our Abbott Florist blog and our website for the next prom season.
Keep sending them in! We will have our gallery up soon.
Thank you Renee, for sending us this adorable picture of Nicholas and Shannon. Bouquet and Boutonniere by Abbott! We hope they had a great time at their Paul VI Senior Prom!

We Love Our Prom Pictures


So it is Prom season...well Prom season has come and gone already, mixed right in there with Mother's Day. This year Abbott Florist has decided to try and gather as many photos as possible from our young customer's, slowly but surely they are trickling in and we absolutely love them. Here is a picture with one of our bouquets.

Thank you so much to Tammy Toton for sending in a cute photo of her daughter Melissa and her boyfriend Steve modeling our bouquet!

Here Comes Mother's Day

Mother's Day is right around the corner and Abbott Florist has you covered for the flowers. We have a variety of arrangements from you to choose for any budget.


When these lovely pink and lavender flowers with matching teacup and saucer arrive, that special someone will always remember your thoughtfulness.
Alstroemeria, asters and roses arrive arranged in a floral teacup with matching saucer.


But if you are looking for something great for Mom in addition to the traditional flowers and you live in the Washington Twp area, give her a day at the spa. While we haven't personally tried these spas, here are a few local spots Mom might enjoy! Rizzieri Haven Spa; D'Nicole Salon & Spa; Ageless Skin & Laser Center. Most Spas offer Gift Certificates that can be used whenever Mom is ready to treat herself. Now if you are looking for a great place to eat that is afforable and low calorie, you have to check out Seasons 52 in Cherry Hill. Everything on the menu is under 475 calories! No, they don't cut the portions-they just don't use butter or fatty oils. The food is amazing. You can also make your reservations online. Just don't forget the flowers! Every Mother loves a great arrangement of fresh flowers!
