WISDOM FROM

a fl orist Cyndi Turk has co-owned Devynn’s Garden for 25 years. Shop bouquets for Valentine’s Day at locations in Huntington Beach and Seal Beach.

VALENTINE’S DAY AT DEVYNN’S GARDEN …

We do custom wrap bouquets, custom vase arrangements, and romantic gift boxes that include roses, petals, candles, and sometimes Champagne. We try to encourage clients to (be unique). People associate Valentine’s Day with roses, but there are so many incredible flowers at that time of the year. Roses are beautiful, but it’s nice to put the roses with other beautiful florals.

TIPS FOR CHOOSING A BOUQUET …

It’s so much easier to say to us, “My wife loves pink,” or “She loves lilies, and I want to spend $100.” That gives us enough parameters to include what she loves and take it from there. That’s where the magic happens. Just give some guidance; it can be that simple. Everything is so original here anyway, but if you give us a little something to trampoline off of, everyone is going to be happy.

FAVORITE PART OF VALENTINE’S DAY …

I love it when you see a gentleman who’s 80 or 90 years old buying his wife flowers and they’ve been together for 60 or 70 years; that just brings it full circle. It’s just romantic. It’s the best holiday.
