Customer Comments and Reviews


Diana Cochran, Author and owner of Vann Jernigan Florist, Inc





"Hello. My daughter sent me 18 of the most beautiful roses last week for my birthday from your shop and I am still enjoying them. They opened gradually and are now in full bloom and are simply breath-taking. A single petal has not fallen off yet. My 87-year old Mom and I have moved them all over my house so we can enjoy them wherever we happen to be! I've taken pictures to send to my daughter who lives in Texas. She's sent me flowers many times over the years. I've never told her how many times the roses (from other florists) have been a disappointment, having died on the stems with wires holding them up til they finally droop over with what looks like broken necks. It's especially sad when roses don't fulfill the promise of an open bloom. My compliments to your discriminating flower selection protocol."

'My favorite florist I have used Vann Jernigan Florist for many, many years. You can always depend upon getting the most beautiful flower arrangements there. They always seem to pick the big florists when you are sending floral arrangements to someone in another city. I have always been very pleased when I have ordered from them."

Tropical Arrangements For Summertime Parties


The warm summertime is here and a great season to bring in fresh cut tropical arrangement to a party. What a great way to show your gratitude to your host than to bring a beautiful accent piece. There are several different varieties of tropical flowers that are not only breath taking but long lasting. We often only think of Birds of Paradise with their rich orange- yellow blooms but also remember some other equally vibrant flowers when ordering. Ginger, a vibrant rich red flower, compliment any arrangement beautifully; as do the bright red, white, pink and green varieties of Anthurium. Haliconia and Hanging Haliconia are other flowers that have those rich red and yellows. Don’t forget the Protea that come in a many different varieties; yellow, pink, orange and also a red. Pin Cushion Protea, called that because it looks like bright color pins, available in reds and yellows as well. People forget that there is no hard, fast rule to using only tropicals in an arrangement. Adding some other florals such as Orchids, Sunflowers, Cala Lilies or Parrot Tulips make a nice touch too. Using exotic greens like Banana leaves, Monstera leaves, Cypress and Safari Sunset. Top off a stunning arrangement of tropicals with Bamboo or Curley Maple to make a great finish. For some examples to view, visit vjflorist.com. Mark Engel, a designer at Vann Jernigan Florist in Atlanta Georgia says "Tropical arrangements are the prefect style for out door and theme parties even for the large family get together or wedding". Enjoy the fun, company and summertime food but even more, enjoy the atmosphere. If it is the in-laws you are going to see, we’ll just say, "no comment"
