India Redefines the Word “Unique”!

With the elections approaching fast, everything just keeps on getting all the more interesting. And that is why; Floralis keeps you updated with the latest devlopments! A 55-year old man has shown determination by coming to Vadodara from Tamil Nadu and standing against the all-powerful Narendra Modi.

His name is Dr. K Padmarajan and he owns a tire trading firm in Tamil Nadu. While filing his nomination as an independent Lok Sabha candidate from the Vadodara seat, he has made it clear that he has no interest in getting involved in politics. His objective is not to win the election, but to set a world record of fighting the maximum number of elections!   A qualified homeopathic doctor, his zeal his certainly noteworthy, thus adding to the count over the years. This will be his 159th nomination and he has declared himself as the Election King of India after having fought and lost 158 elections for more than two decades. His decision to file his nomination from Vadodara was taken after Modi chose the seat as well. This is because he wishes to fight against popular leaders (as he has done in the past against names like Atal Bihari Vajpayee, APJ Abdul Kalam, Pratibha Patil, Manmohan Singh, etc.).  Padmarajan has made his mark in the Rajya Sabha, Presidential and Vice-Presidential polls too (which he lost as well!). Ever since his first election in 1988, he has not campaigned for a single one, even though all the nominations cost him more than 12 lakh rupees!

Meanwhile in Jaipur, 57-year-old Niru Chhabra has developed a fantastic approach in order to generate awareness about the vitality of voting. The artist has used the concept of etching poll-related slogans on rice grains, which she will exhibit at various places so that it captivates the attention of potential voters. Chhabra is not new to this, as she began writing on rice way back in 1984, and till date has penned 108 letters on a single grain of rice with a brush besides Gayatri and Namokar mantras.      

                                                               Niru Chhabra’s Creation                                                                  

A lot of effort went into this idea – it took almost two months to get the miniature writing done on the grains. There are a total of 16 slogans that encourage people to cast their vote. They have been written in black paint (one word on one rice) and displayed on paperboard. To make them even more appealing, accessories such as colored beads have been used.  India is such a diverse country with determined and strong people who want to influence society in one way or the other using unique methodologies. We believe in out-of-the-box thinking too, which is reflected in our products. Do have a quick look!

2013: A Year of Action Movies

As we approach 31^st December, every year we take a look back on how we spent the year that has gone by. Our lifestyles are governed by the friends we keep, the movies we watch, the vacations we spend, and the work we attend to on a daily basis.

At Floralis, we believe in relating to our clients in all their walks of life and understand how social life influences their choices and tastes. Of late, we have noticed that many homeowners request flower decorations that they just saw in a latest movie, or a décor piece that resembles the one they saw in a movie. And let us tell you a simple secret, people have been asking us more for ash color décor items! This obviously includes ivory finish, platinum finish, and metal finish décor pieces. And guess what the source of such inspiration is?

The action movies which flocked multiplexes all through the year have done all the magic that takes to make you wish your living room was all decked up in shades of silver, ivory, and grey. Instead of telling you which items have been launched recently to meet up to these demands, we take recourse in quickly surveying all the action movies that have hit the big screens this year. As you walk up and down memory lane with this post, we hope you will instantly recall which décor pieces on our store that we are talking about.

We Had An Action Packed Bollywood This Year…Agree?

The year started out with the very suave Race 2 that promised viewers with a lot of suspense, thrill and action, but somehow failed to deliver. However, the exotic locales and home décor used in the sets have not gone unnoticed by us. Special 26 and Bhaag Milkha Bhaag had action of different flavors to greet viewers. From rustic Punjab to semi-urban Delhi, you saw a great deal of décor diversity. Well, almost. In the middle of the year, all of us were treated to the blockbuster from Rohit Shetty’s club of action movies Chennai Express.

 Many families drank up the beauty of southern India in this movie. And don’t we forget those exquisite ‘Thambarams’! November and December have been the big months in action movies this year. You got to see the very exotic Krrish 3, followed by the purely desi Goliyon Ki Raasleela Ram-Leela. From there on, the biggest action movie of the year, Dhoom 3 took every multiplex by storm. Whether you like it in Gujarati homes or not, metal finish deers and antlers do make lovely décor pieces, don’t they?

Hollywood Was Heaven For Action Lovers!

The untimely demise of Paul Walker sent the whole filming fraternity in shocks. For most lovers of action movies, this was the worst they could expect in a year that had so many awesome movies being doled out one after the other. To name a few, we had White House Down, The Wolverine (3D), Riddick, The Hobbit, Vehicle 19, 47 Ronin, Kick-Ass 2, Thor: The Dark World, Ender’s Game, and so many more. It is really not surprising to see that many homes love blue-green décor after this flow of high action movies.

Here’s to more innovations in décor and design in the movie industry from us at Floralis. Cheers!

Bakery Business On The Top: It Is Cake Time Again!

What is New Year party and Christmas without cakes, pies, and cookies? Well, your answer is also similar to ours when we say that neither of the celebrations is complete without the presence of baked sweetmeats. Yes, yes, yes, the best time of the year is here!! No more deadlines for another fortnight. Wishing friends and relatives happy holidays is really what you were looking forward to, while taking your near and dear ones to a family trip or a long vacation was what you were hoping would erase all memories of stress related to your workplace. Sure it would. 



In this season of happiness, we at Floralis would like you to make the most of the joyous time. Whether you are touring a city or are lazing by the beach, December memories are all about pies, cookies, cakes, and pastries. So yes, we are gonna talk about our favorite forms of food this season – all that is born in a bakery. And why not discuss the bakery as we discuss food created by them.

Forrest Tanaka from Kookie Jar

Cookies, cakes, cup-cakes and more, Kookie Jar has always delighted us in Kolkata with their innovative recipes and final presentations. Their artists know how to create a definite impression by creating a theme using basic kitchen elements like fruits and ribbons. Forrest Tanaka is one such creation. True to its name, the decoration used in this item of pastry uses a combination of fruits clustered on top of the cake. Placing your first bite feels like you have just gathered up a few berries in the middle of a deep jungle and are having a sumptuous feast out of it. Remember, the taste is exotic created through the luscious combination of chocolate cake and plethora of sweet and tangy fruits. The set-up is complete with two sticks jutting out of the mixture. The ribbon completes the decorative show, don’t you think so?

La Patisserie and Deli

With the dedication of these experts in cakes and pastries, you sure can forget about putting on weight while eating their dishes. If this is in any way a little flustering, then hello, we mean it! The bakery has placed genuine claims suggesting that all their products are health friendly and do not serve to dump several pounds of sugar into the body of the person partaking their products. Take for example, this beautiful white cake. The basic difference that La Patisserie and Deli dishes have with those served by other bakeries is the fact that they keep their decoration simple and elegant. No amount of colorful dressing can beat the simplicity of the pure white decoration used in this example. White flowers are a favorite with us at Floralis too. The cake is filled with vanilla essence and also holds mild tinge of Worcestershire sauce. However, none of the pure white color comes from synthetic color additives. It is pure as the word pure can be. So it is time for some decadent delights, yes? Take your near and dear ones to one of the finest bakeries in town.

As you enjoy their delicious delights, don’t you forget to thank us! With all love on New Year’s Eve…here is wishing you all a very Happy and Jolly New Year! 

You Don’t Need Much Planning For New Year Decorations… Right?

The carols, the masses, the hymns, the smoothness - all these usher in the holiness of Christmas, often described as the best part of the year. Yes, this is the time when you get the maximum number of holidays both in schools and at work. Also, this is that time of the year when joy and happiness fill homes of the young and the old, the rich and the poor, alike. And suddenly, you fall into a brand new year! In most homes, Christmas and New Year decorations stay the same. So, once you have started out hanging those gifts on your Christmas tree, you are getting all ready to usher in a very happy and jolly NEW YEAR.

The Basics
Whether you want it plain or grand, we give you exclusive ideas of attaining both. Read on to know how to usher in the New Year in style, without much planning. Home décor has a few constant basics and we touch upon all these points keeping your New Year celebrations in mind.

The Curtains

Many homeowners want simple and elegant décor to freshen up their homes during Christmas. White curtains or those of light yellow or blue shades create the tone for white Christmas perfectly. You can carry the look into New Year with only a few brightly colored accessories like flower bunches and table lamps, to create a sober contrast. For those of you who like glamour to touch your walls, add a double color combination of white with red or blue satin or silk curtains. Even gold can create magic. This adds an exquisite finish to your drapery.

The Flowers:

Go for bright colored dried flower bunches interspersed with white bunches of gardenias, jasmines, and agapanthus. Nothing compliments the mood of New Year after Christmas, better.

The Tables and the Table-cloths:

When the cake arrives, you would want your table to be in perfect tuning with the shades on your walls, right? Go for all white table cloth and linen if frosty white as your theme for Christmas. In case not, try using white cloth with red or turquoise blue napkins.  Or just go gold. 

The Utensils and Cutlery:

Porcelain or glass, traditional decorators would suggest either of the two for a white Christmas. However, ivory, silver, and golden finishes work wonders in bringing a classy finish to your table. Match them with some golden brocade cutlery, and you are done!

Accessories : Clocks, Vases, and Candle-holders

A new mirror on the wall, a giant wall-clock, glass or silver finish flower vases, teddy bears along the sofa line, and glass or metal finish candle-holders are few of the accessories you could use to add to the beauty of your rooms. Don’t forget to use a lot of candles for the night effect. 

Some like it simple. Some like it grand. And we like both. At Floralis, we recognize the individual tastes of our customers. If you want to go for a plain white Christmas decoration at home and use décor for just that New Year party you have planned to throw at home, we have options ready for you. Alternatively, if you want a lavish and colorful Christmas at home, one that is complete with three tier cakes, gifts and parties, and carry the decoration unto New Year, we have a host of hot deals for you!

Christmas Time : Do You Like Decorations Colorful or White?

Bustling Santa Clauses and showers of surprises and gifts, Christmas is when all this and much more happens. Near and dear ones meet up for gatherings, friends and family indulge in year-end partying. And you sure have many guests at home almost every single day of the month. At home, you could create your own distinct Christmas, complete with a Christmas tree and gifts for little ones too. So tell us, which home décor do you like best during Christmas?

Colors For Your Christmas Home Decoration

Predominantly red, Christmas home décor mainly builds on the party mood of the season. You have all the scope to impress your guests with lavishing red satin pouring from your tables and curtain rods. When the sequins shine, how can the vases and teddies stay far behind?

Ideally, although red stays up-front, neutral colors like white, light yellow, light blue, and light shades of purple are often used to give a sound background to the jubilations. Therefore, we often come across white or off-white curtains in homes these days.  

Needless to say, as a background white scores highest in numbing any visual hindrance to the highlighted and specially decorated parts of a room. Complete the décor of your living rooms and other rooms through the use of red satins, purple dried or fresh flowers, and polished vases and artifacts. Your room should shine bright and these few steps will help you attain precisely that. 

White Christmas In Your Home. Yes?

For those of you who love snowflakes and white Christmases, there is no need to despair if colors surround you. Through the clever use of white décor items and a little upholstery, your home could be a snowy heaven complete with the moonlit touch of ivory on its walls. How do you go about creating one? Simple. Gather up fresh flowers like frangipanis, gardenias, star jasmines, and agapanthus. You could get these specially ordered from your local floralist. Agapanthus gives white blooms that fill in your Christmas vases perfectly. Touch up your walls and windows with white chiffon or light blue silk draperies. Add in dried flowers to create the ultimate snowy feel.

Make sure the table cloths, napkins, and extra clothing in the room is spotlessly white. Complete the warmth of Christmas at home with a white Hurricane lamp on your dining table. Sticking to the white code, may not be possible in case of wine racks, flower vases, and utensils. Use ivory and silver finish in these cases. Try and use products that have light golden brocade work in the silver body. To finish the frosted look, you will need lots of candles. Make sure your assortment of candle holders are close to the shades of snow. Perfect finishes come in when you use a variety of tea light candles and flower candles in all corners of the room. 

Floralis takes extreme pride in presenting to you exquisitely finished artifacts that suit both colorful and white Christmas decoration. Check out the latest we have to offer and hey you, don’t miss out on those hot deals! You will find them nowhere else but here. 

Merry Ho Ho Everyone!
