don't you agree?
Flowers are just a burst of happiness
and a sign of love.
It is so nice having them around.
In fact, wouldn't it be nice if it was easy to have them around all the time?

YOU MAY HAVE SAID THESE THINGS:
"Hydrangeas never last!"
I hear this ALL the time. But the funny thing is that mine last 2+ weeks. Hydrangeas are actually hardy flowers.
"Flowers STINK after a day."
They shouldn't. If flowers are prepped correctly, they will not smell badly. There is a way to prevent bacteria from growing and causing odors.
"Flowers are an occasional treat."
Learn how to arrange them yourself and make flowers a part of your everyday living!
You can make beautiful arrangements.
Flower shops are going out of business everywhere.
What is killing them? Grocery stores.
The average consumer can purchase a huge variety of fresh and very well priced blooms - EVERYDAY.
It is crazy.
The problem is when you go to arrange the flowers. Somehow the arrangements you put together just don't look as good, or last as well as one from a florist.
Let's change that.
It's time you finally learned what is necessary to elevate your designs.
“Whenever I'm shopping for flowers, which is pretty often, I always keep Gila's tips in mind! Gila explains everything so well and really breaks it down for you.”

About gila
After a spontaneous Mother's Day bouquet sale, when I was 17, I discovered my passion for floral art. Nestled between flower stems, I discovered the magic that flowers have. I flowered right through the end of high school, and continued while earning my degree in finance at John Carroll University. I realized in my junior year that I'd rather flowers accented with finance, than the other way around... and that's how Cleveland Florist Co. came to be!
Now, after 10 years of servicing events, luxury gifts and residential homes, I created Life Looks Better with Flowers TM to share what I learned with you - world-wide.

from DASSI:
“Not only did I get beautiful flowers, I also gained a wealth of knowledge and inspiration.
The class was absolutely wonderful! We learned everything from how to select the freshest flowers to flower combination techniques. Then, we got to work arranging! Gila demonstrated a few techniques and then encouraged us to use our imaginations. We made some truly stunning floral arrangements! I don't need to pay another florist again!"

p.s. - do you have a special someone in your life that finding them a great gift
is just impossible?
She just has everything - or doesn't want anything. But you really want to show your appreciation, or maybe it's love. Whatever the situation, this course is just the perfect gift. It's a gift that keeps on giving because every time they pick up a bunch of flowers for the rest of their lives, they will think of you.
It's a personal gift- it's thoughtful and oh so classy. Just add a gift message at checkout and we will include a handwritten, personalized note card from our sister brand so that your message is not just received, but it is saved and savored.
Does this sound good, but you, like me, are super impatient?
Need a way to start asap?
Don't worry - I got you covered!
For all of my impatient friends, and this works great for someone who has other commitments and cannot join our live classes as well, we have an evergreen option for you!
You can purchase a pre-recorded "flower admirer" package, which includes a class in which I teach how to arrange flowers in a bright and cheerful color palette. We will start with a gorgeous vase centerpiece (using chicken wire) and will arrange smaller arrangements till there isn't one stem left!
When I started working with flowers,
the only flowers I had access to were from the grocery.
I experimented and learned floral design using them.
I know what works best for the at home florist. (I mean, I love having flowers all over my home too!)
Now, after almost ten years of doing events, workshops and specialty orders, I am ready to share
all that you need to know about flowers!
my first order!
The encompassing hands-on learning experience to take you from just loving flowers to creating professional arrangements at home.
