Nicknames


The Perfect Petal is a family of floral designers, event solutions managers, production engineers and more! Like all happy families we have nicknames for each other, not-so-private jokes, "long stories"
and trusty tools. Our designers have long been referred to as
"Petals", coined by the Highland neighborhood peeps years ago. The large cooler is the "Silver Bullet" that store our floral masterpieces. Either "Junior", "Whitey" or "Stinky" is assigned to the production engineer teams as their delivery vehicle for an event set up. Therefore, on any given day, if you hear someone call out from the back boutique , "Hey, Petal! While you're in the Silver Bullet, will you please grab the Smith order and load it into Whitey? Rest assured... this is normal for our family.

Also a member of The Perfect Petal family and nicknamed by her grandmother, is Sookie. She is an artist and jewelry maker who works with different types of clay designing bright and fun collections of various western-inspired pieces. Because Sookie Sookie jewelry is handmade from start to finish, no two pieces will ever look exactly the same. This 'happy' jewelry line makes people feel good when wearing it, so come and see for yourself!

Join our family tomorrow for 3rd Thursday!
Stop by for an evening featuring the bold and delightfully different handmade clay jewelry by artist and designer Sookie Sookie.
September 17th
5pm - 8pm

What is your nickname? Since you are a part of our family, we would love to know!

Turning 13






The Bar / Bat Mitzvah marks the 13-year old Jewish boy or girl’s rite of passage into adulthood. First, let’s understand what the words "Bar or Bat Mitzvah" actually mean. The phrase translates as "son or daughter of commandment". In other words, the young person becomes responsible to observe the commandments of the Torah.

Using a personalized theme can be a wonderful way to spice up a Bar Mitzvah or Bat Mitzvah celebration without taking away from the meaningful and spiritual experience that the ceremony brings. The Perfect Petal recently used a creative and uniquely designed theme that expressed the enjoyable personality and distinctive interests of one particular young man – Elliot! A modern urban environment design including brightly colored customized street signs, gobo lights and car accessories created an energetic and memorable festive environment.
