Everybody Has a Story: Day 19 - Staker Floral

Walking into a floral shop is one of my favorite things. I love how it smells and feels--it's magical. In short, I love flowers. Always have--always will. By the way, this is obviously Shelley writing! :)


When Jer and I got married this last September, fresh flowers were at the top of the priority list (next to an amazing photographer!), so I paid Betsy Monson a visit at Staker Floral. We were so happy with our experience and the way the flowers turned out. We had pink roses, lime green orchids, and white freesia. They were gorgeous!

Here are a couple pics from our wedding. Thanks to the amazing and oh-so-talented-I-want-to-grow-up-and-be-just-like-you Amelia + Justin Lyon. Justin and Jer are cousins and when they came out from California to shoot our wedding, they went gaga over all the big bales of hay!




Betsy Monson is the owner of Staker Floral. She and her sister, Monica, worked their when they were younger. About 11 years ago, Betsy quit her job out at the Site and bought the flower shop. It was a great move for her and her family.


One of the nicest things about Staker Floral is that it's an everyday flower shop. Sure, they do an amazing job with weddings and funerals, but they give as much care to a single rose as they do a big bouquet. It doesn't matter if you spend $5 or $5,000--you will receive excellent customer service and a quality product.

Sometimes after I get the house all clean, I will go and buy a single flower from them. It's crazy how just one rose can brighten a room and make it smell so good! I've had flower last up to 2 weeks from there!

Betsy is great with supporting the community. I have seen flowers from Staker Floral donated to schools and at church events. She even gives gift certificates to the schools for Spirit Week or other events for boutonnieres and corsages.

These flowers are being prepared for a wedding.


Do you know those little orange fluffy things in the middle of a lily? They are removed because they are full of pollen that is notorious for staining what they touch. Just like when you were a kid and played that dandelion game and ended up with yellow all over your face.




Don't forget that Staker Floral is one of our vendors. They offer a discount on flowers to our wedding clients. Check them out at 1695 Ponderosa in Idaho Falls or give them a call 208-523-7950.
