CUSTOM DESIGN WORK
At Watson Flower Shops we provide custom design work for a variety of occasions. Just recently we had the priviledge of designing two unique tributes for Arizona families.
The first was a floral replica of the Arizona Cardinals logo. It turned out very well and was well received by the family for the services. The family really appreciated the care taken by Watson's to provide this fitting tribute during a difficult time. That tribute is featured below.
The second was of a larger than life replica of a baseball. This amazing floral tribute used red miniature carnations as stitching and it's detail was incredible. The family was very appreciative of the care taken to design such a beautiful piece. That design is shown below.
The staff at Watson Flower Shops very happy to make unique and special designs for sympathy work. Let Watson Flower Shops be your florist to show your love and affection for loved ones who have passed away.

WEDDING HIGHLIGHTS
A couple of weeks ago we made some arrangements for a wedding with a very unique flare. Below is the brides bouquet and it was fabulous.
The bride's bouquet was stunning. It featured sunflowers, spider mums, green "Trick" carnations, white hydrangea and wheat! Amazing!
The bridesmaids bouquets were also unique. Below is one of those arrangements.
Shown below is one of the corsages and the groom's boutonniere.
Custom design work is what our designer's love to do. If you have any events coming up or know people who are getting married, we can create custom design work for them. Just call us to make an appointment.

Watson Flower Shops Presents
THE DELIVERY MAN
(in color and sound)
This video was made by David Johnson and one of his sons in 1994. The video was for a school project but has now been made available for your enjoyment. It's very funny and it's amazing to see the changes on Apache Blvd since 1994. All the scenes were filmed on location at Watson Flower Shops.

The plan is to routinely go through old containers and offer discounts on them. We hope you enjoy.

VALENTINE'S DAY
Valentine's Day is less than 2 weeks away. Do you know what you're getting for your sweetheart?
We hope we can make it easier for you this year when it comes to deciding what you want to give for Valentine's Day. Some people think that flowers are generic, but not so. Flowers leave a lasting impression that isn't forgotten.
The products featured below will help you make a lasting impression on your Valentine this year. These products and designs you'll find exclusively at Watson Flower Shops.
Above is what we call the 'Love Bug'. This is already proving to be a big seller this year. We had to order more vases, and it's only Febuary 3rd! Your Valentine will love this one.
This is called ' X's & O's '. Another beautiful Valentine's gift found exclusively at Watson Flowers. An added benefit to this arrangement is that it comes with a matching mylar balloon.
This gift is one that won't break the bank. And it comes with chocolates and a bear! This bear is unique, it says "I love you sooooo much!". Again, it'll be hard to find a gift like this in the Phoenix Metro area.
This is our 'Hearts Aflutter' arrangement. This beautiful gift you'll only find at Watson's. It's truly going to be a big hit this year and is one of the owner's personal favorites.
We are very excited to be presenting these lovely gifts to you this year for Valentine's Day. To show our appreciation to our customers we are offering $10.00 OFF any purchase of $60.00 or more this Valentine's Day. So make sure you order today, supplies are limited.

CHRISTMAS SPECIALS
Happy Holidays everyone! We are so excited for this Christmas season. Our designers have been up to their usual tricks and making exceptional bouquets for this holiday season.
In addition to the new products we are featuring we are also haveing a Christmas sale. Our customers can save $10.00 this Christmas on any purchase of $50.00 or more. This holiday special is good for local delivery and cash/carry sales of course. And our Gilbert location on Val Vista Dr and Guadalupe is selling all their Christmas plush and ornaments for 30% off. Not bad if you need some new ornaments for your own decorations or gifts for young children.
So let’s get down to it. We know you’ve been waiting to see our new products for Christmas so here they are (in no particular order):
This “Christmas Tree” is made with Bells of Ireland and it looks amazing. There isn’t anything like it in our local market. This bouquet is powerfully unique and turned out great.
"Christmas Bells are Ringing" retails for $69.95 and is available for local orders only.
"Dashing Delight" is one of our favorites. If you’re looking for flowers featuring a gift container that can be kept year after year than Dashing Delight is what you’re looking for. The featured sleigh can be placed decoratively on any table, desk or counter and the sleigh can be used for future holiday decorations.
It retails for $71.95 and is available for local orders only.
The holiday favorite is back and is sporting a new mug this year. Last year’s mug was unavailable so we had to turn to another supplier. We have to say though the arrangement turned out great. "Holiday Delight" was a big seller last year and we expect it to do the same this year. Supplies are limited so it’s best to order this one as early as possible.
"Holiday Delight" retails for only $39.95 and comes with a packet of hot coco!
Ornament containers are very popular floral gifts. Our designers made a beautiful bouquet featuring an ornament ball. Each arrangement will come in an ornament ball that’s one of three colors, red, green, or silver.

Ads for Watson's Flowers
This ad was created by one of the owners sons (5th generation florist). The first part says "Want to go to the flower shop?" Then the next guy says "Yes! Watson's Flowers has the best flowers in the world!" After that the third guy (all the way to the right inside the car) says, "I'll take you."
It seems like we have a marketing major in our midst! This was created on paint, he draws much better than this.
Enjoy!

GILBERT DAYS PARADE
The Gilbert Days Parade was Saturday November 13, 2010. Watson Flowers again participated in the parade to help celebrate Gilbert's 90th birthday. Everything went very well.
Nathan and Jacob were not able to start construction of the float until Wednesday, three days before the parade! Thanks to the great staff at Watson Flowers Nathan and Jacob were able to dedicate their full attention to creating the float.
This year we did a larger than life birthday cake. It had two layers, candles, and large birthday mylar balloons. As always we decorated the float with lots and lots of flowers. Beautiful hydrangea lined the edges of the float as 'frosting'.
The picture above was taken the morning of the parade. The cake looks good enough to eat!
The children riding the float are descendants of Charles and Irene Watson. The children are always a great part of the float and the love riding the float.
The night before we had lots of family members attaching petals to the float. They worked hard and did a fantastic job. Watson Flowers thanks all the family who were able to come help on Friday and Saturday. Your help is much appreciated.
During the parade we passed out flowers to the crowds at the parade. Everyone did a fantastic job once again as we handed out all our flowers. The crowds were pleased. We even heard one of the announcers say "...here comes everyone's favorite float."
