Blaine Bouquets has new owner

Blaine Bouquets will have a new look and offerings in the coming months now that it is under new ownership.

Sarbie Bains said she has been working hard to cater to customers and learn the market since taking over the flower shop at the beginning of April. Bains said she thought the business would be a perfect fit with her experience doing hair and makeup in the beauty and bridal industry.

“It all ties in – whether it’s florals or hair and makeup,” Bains said. “It is all about the aesthetics of making the pictures look good and making everything come together as one.”

Bains plans on bringing in new vendors to the business’s gift shop, including jewelry, plants, plant holders and other goods. 

The shop will introduce peonies starting in time for Mother’s Day and soon have orchids in addition to the roses, daisies, lilies and other flowers it already offers. The store has started selling artisan chocolates and is looking to add more to the assortment. 

Bains encourages people interested in the store’s services to visit the shop and see more of their offerings first-hand.

“It’s nice to have that in-person touch to show, ‘This is what we have. What did you have in mind?’” she said. “I want to provide top-notch customer service and make somebody feel special.”

Blaine Bouquets is located at 633 Peace Portal Drive. For shop hours, call the business at 360/332-6700.

“I love the aesthetics of how everything turns out. Flowers are so pretty and they make everyone so happy,” Bains said. “Even if it’s a sad occasion, it brings a smile to somebody’s face.”
