At Élan Flowers Every Card is Hand Written
Our motto here at Élan Flowers is Be Kind.
We like to say that every gift of flowers, whether to yourself or to someone else, is an act of kindness.
No matter the occasion - birthday, anniversary, congratulations, sympathy, friendship, even an apology - the gift of fresh flowers marks a special moment in your life.
As part of our standard service every card message is personally hand written for each order.
It seems that the handwritten letter or card is an art that is fading from use in our age of texts and emails, but we maintain that it adds an elegant and very special touch to a gift. Some florists charge extra for a handwritten card, but like our exquisitely curated arrangements and our artful gift wraps, our handwritten cards are included in your floral order.
“Sir, more than kisses, letters mingle souls; for, thus friends absent speak.” – John Donne
“The word that is heard perishes, but the letter that is written remains.” – Unknown
“Never lose an opportunity of seeing anything beautiful, for beauty is God’s handwriting.” – Ralph Waldo Emerson
“A letter always seemed to me like immortality because it is the mind alone without the corporeal friend.” – Emily Dickinson
When you place your order on our website you are provided a place to write your gift message.
Struggling to come up with what to say for your message?
Here are some thoughts to consider:
Brevity is appreciated. Since we are hand writing your message on a very small card, the sentiment looks best if it is short and sweet. Plus, you are sending them a beautiful gift from Élan Flowers - let the flowers do the talking.
Take inspiration from the greats. Find an inspiring quote or a personal memory to share with your recipient.
Skip emojis. Save them for your texts or social media.
Simply express the sentiment. Don’t underestimate the power of these simple phrases:
I love you. Congratulations. I’m sorry. Thank you.
