From our Design Room table.........

A regular customer of Oberer's Flowers in Carmel challenged our designers by bringing in a resin 4foot bear that had a hollow body.

Tracy (our customer) wanted to give the bear a wintery look as he stands outside her Carmel home to greet her guests.  This was somewhat of a challenge due to the bear having no body.  By using floral foam we created the bears body by using wintery greens, stacked up some fire wood wired it all together and utilized some permanent accents which she provided.

Here's a look at the final product!  Needless to say Tracy was elated and we're sure the bear will bring many smiles to her visitors.

Another project Tracy brought into her favorite flower people below is an antique style sled and a family treasured Cardinal.  Tracy said she wanted a table top arrangement created with a snow lodge, wintery theme.

Here's a peek at her custom arrangement.

We've all got some things laying around the house that we just know we'd like to do something with but can't imagine what.

 Feel free to bring them along on your next visit to your local Oberer's Flowers store in Dayton, Cincinnati, Columbus,  Downtown Indianapolis or Carmel, Indiana store.

We'll pair up our imaginative designers with your items, add fresh flowers and come up with a creative design for your home.

Thanks to Tracy from Carmel for allowing us to share your story!

Fresh flowers, then, now and in the future

Spending some time searching the internet I came across this picture.  I assume these gentlemen were much like many other florists way back when.  Growing the flowers and plants they would bring to market.

In fact our company evolved from the dirt (literally) where our corporate headquarters still stands to this very day.  Many florists including Carl Oberer (our founder) grew flowers in the fields and greenhouses erected on their property.  These florists of yesterday would harvest flowers and bring them to market and wholesale to the city florists that were unable to grow their own.

Of course the history of floristry is something that we'd find interesting, but in case your somewhat like us here are some pictures I came across on a lazy Sunday morning.

Can you even imagine having your flowers delivered across town by horse and carriage?  Here's proof this is the way it was?

I imagine this might be this hardworking florists very first truck.  I'd bet the whole family pitched in to water, cut, process, arrange and then deliver.

Calling all women!!!   During World War II new talent was needed while "The Boys" were over there!

Here's an old newspaper cartoon depicting a man visiting a florist to buy flowers for a woman that he'd like to employ.

My how times have changed.

Here's an ad for a florist in their new building from 1960.    Can you even imagine people lining up to buy "NEW" Plastic Plants?

Sometimes I wonder what Carl would say if he could see what the dirt under his finger nails back then helped to create today.

Our promise for the future is; We'll keep on working just as hard as all those that came before us!

Thanks for being such great customers!
