Most of us love having fresh flowers in our homes, whether they appear as a weekly bouquet, a once in a while treat, or reserved for special occasions. However, there may be more to it. Flowers have been shown to have extraordinary power over people, affecting our moods, improving our health and work performance. Balla Florists looked at 3 reasons why everyone should introduce fresh flowers into their home.

Boost Your Mood

Scientific research has shown that flowers can genuinely boost your mood, increasing happiness and decreasing feelings of stress and anxiety. Researchers have put this amazing side effect down to a culturally learned association of flowers as a symbol of positivity. It’s no wonder when flowers are present at some of our happiest events like weddings, birthdays, and new births. Flowers can also trigger memories of these special events or of approaching spring and summer, a time when most of us are generally happier.

Improve Your Work Life

On top of decreasing stress, flowers have also been reported to lift concentration levels and creativity, and increase cognitive performance. For people who work from home and want to improve their concentration, or need a creative lift, a bouquet of fresh flowers is an easy way to stimulate both. Putting them in your home office or on your desk at work is a sure fire way to reap the benefits, with bright colours or a creative arrangement even more beneficial for getting the creative juices flowing. If calming is your aim, opt for lighter colours that fall near to each other on the colour wheel, whilst choosing blooms in bright and opposite colours will energise you.

Decorate Your Home

Flowers are a quick way to decorate your home; pulling together your personal style and making your living space appear more polished. Not only are flowers are a beautiful finishing touch to your interior design, they have the ability to change the feel of your home or of particular rooms. Bright arrangements can lift the vibes of your living space, brightening homes with dark furniture or limited light. More understated bouquets can make a hectic home feel calmer, or an arrangement of one colour in varying shades can tie together your colour theme. Changing the feel of your home depending on the season is also made easy through the use of flowers.

I am delighted to have been selected to part take in the ‘Women In Business’ campaign being ran by the Mayo Advertiser. It is so important for small local businesses like Balla Florist to get the support of our local community and companies.

Thank you to the Mayo Advertiser for featuring me and my shop. Have a read of the article which was published on October 21st 2020 below.

“Judi Roche-Fallon, owner of Balla Florists, is married to James Fallon and has three children, Jack, Charlie, and Gracie. Life is busy as a self-employed florist and mother of three but the love of her job is a great reward.

Judi came from a family of florists as her mum had a few shops in Wexford, from where Judi hails. As she says herself, she grew up under the shop counter and would have been preparing wedding flowers and sympathy flowers from a very early age.

Balla Florists has become synonyms with wedding flowers, winning numerous national awards, due to Judi’s keen eye for detail and beautiful arrangements. The current Covid-19 restrictions have seen thousands of people’s special days either postponed or become much smaller affairs than initially planned.

“We are working with brides and grooms who have had to see their weddings go from 300 people right down to 25 people, but they are still going ahead with their big day. We are here to work with couples who are going ahead with their weddings and making sure that the flowers they want will still be one of the most special parts of their wedding day – so if you are getting married and are worried, don’t be afraid to get in touch and we will be here to advise and help you in any way we can” – Judi said.

Judi went on to say: “One of the other things that has really been affected over the past few months for people is their ability to go to funerals to show their respect after someone dies. We’re here to compose a touching and personal floral tribute that we can deliver to pass on your sympathy to the grieving family.

In choosing to order your flowers from Balla Florists you can be totally confident that your chosen item will be individually created by one of their highly experienced and creative florists, and that your gift will be hand-delivered to the chosen recipient.

Our florists is in Balla nearly 16 years. We also have an online store since 2009.
While I know that flowers aren’t a necessity, I also know that for many people they are an uplifting way to keep connected with others when we can’t always be there in person. I hope that we can help to provide moments of comfort by continuing our service for as long as it remains permitted by the Government and safe to do so. Of course, keeping everyone safe, healthy and connected during this uncertain time is a huge priority of mine.

Having our online business has meant we have been fortunate to have been able to increase our online business. You can use our click and collect service or arrange for flowers/gift to be delivered straight to a loved ones door.

1. Following All Government Advice

Contactless Delivery
Our deliveries will all be contactless. Our hand-tied bouquets will be left safely on the doorstep and you won’t need to sign for anything. Our deliveries are managed by Judi and delivered safely by our drivers who are all also following the latest government guidance to keep everyone safe and well.

Protecting People’s Livelihoods
As well as having a duty to keep everyone healthy, I also have a duty to protect my staff and supply partners’ livelihoods at a time of economic difficulty. While our flower packing partners can’t work from home, we have very strict health and hygiene measures in place. This means that they can work safely and in line with the latest government advice, which is encouraging online retail to continue, and allowing work to continue where it can’t be done from home.

Of course our shop is open again to the public and we are adhering to all guidelines in store also.

2. Supporting Our Community

Supporting Those Who Need It The Most With Positive Pick-me-ups

In our digital world it’s hard to escape the news. Sometimes that can feel quite overwhelming and we need a distraction from being stuck at home. So we’ve started sharing content and uplifting photos of our work and microweddings on our social channels in the hopes that we will make you (and your favourite people) smile.

We hope to come up with more ways we can spread thoughtfulness to all our customers during this uncertain time. So watch this space.
Stay safe – we are all in this together!

Sending funeral flowers is a wonderful way to show that you care and be a reflection of your respect and love for the dearly departed.

Funeral flower arrangements come in standing, bouquet, wreath, and casket styles however, it’s often difficult to know what flowers are best to send for funeral flowers. Funeral flowers are typically white or red roses, white chrysanthemums, white lilies and more pale flowers. But depending on the setting and what you know of the deceased, you may prefer having brightly coloured or tropical style funeral flowers delivered.

Just because flower arrangements for funerals are usually white, doesn’t mean that’s what you’re expected to send. Whatever funeral flower delivery you choose to send, can be a reflection of your own feelings, or say something specifically about the departed.

All of our floral arrangements for funerals come with a little card so that you can express your sentiments to the recipients. When deciding on the card message for funeral flowers, we suggest keeping the following tips in mind:

· Keep your message simple and short.

· Share a nice memory or anecdote of the deceased if you would like to make it more personal.

Flowers for funeral delivery can also be sent to a wake at the family home, funeral parlour or anywhere else where you feel that they might be needed. As long as we have the address and access to the location, your order will arrive as requested.

At Balla Florist, we take great pride in our funeral flower arrangement deliveries. We understand that you need your order quickly, and we will never sacrifice the quality just because you need it quickly.

Funeral flowers are available to order online every day at Balla Florist or if you are looking for a unique arrangement for your loved one’s funeral, please do not hesitate to give us a call and we would be happy to create something special for you.

We are over the moon to tell you all that we are open again.
