Registries Make Giving Wedding Gifts Easy

Registries Make Giving Wedding Gifts Easy

 

Create the Wedding Registry of Your Dreams at Rickey Heroman’s Florist & Gifts

Planning a wedding is one of life’s most exciting adventures. While there are plenty of details to coordinate, one of the most enjoyable parts is creating your bridal registry. At Rickey Heroman’s Florist & Gifts, we make it easy with our online Bridal & Gift Registry, where couples can browse thousands of beautiful gifts and create the perfect wish list for their new life together.

Whether you’re furnishing your first home or adding timeless treasures to an existing one, our registry offers an exceptional selection of gifts you’ll enjoy for years to come.

What Should I Include in My Registry?

Think of your bridal registry as the ultimate shopping experience. There’s no need to limit yourself—this is your opportunity to select the items you’ve always wanted.

Browse beautiful collections for every room in your home, including:

  • Kitchen essentials and cookware
  • Dining and entertaining pieces
  • Fine china and crystal
  • Home décor and decorative accessories
  • Bathroom collections
  • Storage and organization
  • Outdoor living and gardening
  • Serving pieces and barware
  • Seasonal and holiday décor

Choose from many of the world’s most recognized brands, including Vietri, Annieglass, Beatriz Ball, Waterford, Royal Doulton, Casafina, Arte Italica, Mariposa, Arthur Court, and many more.

Whether you’re selecting everyday essentials or heirloom-quality pieces for special occasions, your registry can be customized to reflect your personal style.

Don’t Be Afraid to Dream Big

Your wedding is a once-in-a-lifetime celebration, and your registry should reflect that.

Many couples hesitate to register for fine china, crystal, or statement serving pieces because of the price. Remember, guests often purchase gifts together, making luxury items much more attainable. These are the pieces you’ll use to celebrate holidays, anniversaries, family gatherings, and milestones for years to come—and perhaps even pass down to future generations.

Easy to Create. Easy to Manage.

Creating your registry couldn’t be easier.

As you browse our website, simply click “Add to Registry” on the items you love. You can update your selections anytime by adding new items, changing quantities, or making adjustments as your plans evolve.

If your style changes after receiving a gift, many registry purchases can be exchanged for store credit, allowing you to choose something that’s an even better fit for your home.

Friends and family can easily find your registry online, or they can visit our Baton Rouge showroom where our knowledgeable staff is always available to help them select the perfect gift.

Flowers Are The Perfect Way To Say, “You’re Appreciated!”

Flowers Are The Perfect Way To Say, “You’re Appreciated!”

Great administrative assistants are an essential part of any business. They perform above-and-beyond tasks for their bosses and companies, often without getting the recognition they deserve. Some of their duties include to screen calls and emails, organize meetings, manage schedules, handle travel arrangements and track expenses. Plus, many take on human resources duties as well, especially in smaller companies.

National Administrative Professionals’ Day is April 25, 2018, and this is the perfect time to show the administrative professionals at your company some well-deserved appreciation.

Rickey Heroman’s Florist and Gifts, your Baton Rouge florist, can help you pick out the perfect gift to say “Thanks” for a job well done. We, of course, specialize in beautiful arrangements made with the freshest flowers, but we also have plants and even gift baskets.

Say It With Bouquets

We can create the ultimate bouquet for the administrative professional in your office. Choose “Ooh-La-La” pink lilies in a glass vase, multiple colors of tulips in a cylinder vase or simply request something bright and beautiful and we’ll make it happen. You can never go wrong with our website best sellers like roses, the Pink Lily Bouquet, Abundance of Tulips and Bright and Cheerful.

Go With A Plant Instead

A plant is another great option to consider. Our desktop plant arrangements are the gift that keeps on giving. That’s because plants, like spathphyllums (blooming peace lily), bromeliads and orchids, provide lasting benefits. Office plants help reduce stress, increase productivity, reduce sickness and absence rates, clean the air, reduce noise levels and help make workspaces more attractive to job applicants.

Everyone Loves A Gift Basket

Not sure which flower your administrative assistant would really love? We also have gift baskets that either cleverly includes flowers, or leaves them out altogether. We have options that allow you to send chocolates, candles and fragrances to say “Thank You.” For example, our Office Flowers and Snacks basket features a combination of gorgeous flowers and yummy snacks for the office. Or, go all out with The Grand Gourmet, a basket filled with candies, crackers, sparkling water, chocolates and more.

Whichever one of these gifts you choose, we can deliver it. Rickey Heroman’s delivers to Baker, Baton Rouge, Brusly, Denham Springs, Gonzales, Port Allen, Prairieville, Walker and Zachary. Questions? Give us a call at 866-285-9462 and we’ll gladly help you pick out an administrative assistant give that will make everyone in the office smile!

#ShopLocal

At Rickey Heroman’s Florist we feel it is important to give back to our community. We encourage people to shop local and support your local retailers. There are numerous “on line order gathers” in our industry. What most customers don’t understand is they do not produce anything. Most flower wire order gatherers charge a “processing service fee” that ranges from 14.99 – 17.99(they keep 100% of this fee), we charge zero for the same service,  just for sending your flower order to a ‘local florist’ in the community where is will be delivered. They all take a 20% commission, plus send through a florist transmission wire service that takes another 7% plus charge the local florist a transmission fee of 2.00. Most of these vendors are located in New York, Connecticut, Chicago and other large cities across the country. That is where you money is going when placing an order line with the big companies such as FTD.com, 800-flowers, Ava’s Flowers, From you flowers, etc… Your money is not kept local. Therefore, there is not support given to the local community, no charity or contributions, no taxes paid to help take care of our city.

When ordering a 100.00 arrangement, then pay their 17.99 processing fee plus tax, your total charge will be 129.79, when ordering the same locally it only costs 122.05 (a 7.74 savings). The order gather company will keep 17.99(100% of the processing service fee) 20.00(20% of your flowers), the florist transfer company (ftd, teleflora, etc) will keep 7.00 and typically charge the florist is being send to a fee to receive it from the sender. The local florist, the one that does all the work, provides the product, the flowers, the labor, the delivery and pays local salary for workers, insurance, delivery vehicles, storefront, local taxes, and all expenses receives only 71.00 of your 129.79 you spent, or 55%..

Here is the breakdown for a 100.00 arrangment placed with a national order gatherer: 129.79 (- 11.80 sales tax), 117.99 (- 37.99 20% plus their service fee of 17.99), (-7.00 to FTD, Teleflora, etc), (-2.00/approximate fee charged to receiving florist by these same companies) = 71.00 to the local florist providing service. That’s only 55%, and once the local florist deducts their cost of the delivery process (10.00), that leaves a local florist 60.05(46%) going to the local florist who provides the flowers, labor, delivery, vases and containers and all the product to do the work. If you call 225-383-8383 or go on line to  www.rickeyheromans.com, for the same order you pay 122.05, that is a 7.74 saving and 100% of your money stays local. This includes 100.00 for the flowers (100% of which stays with the local florist, 10.95 (varies with every florist) for delivery and sales tax(which in Baton Rouge, La is 10% = 11.10) that stays and supports your local community as opposed to another town where you do not live. These national companies do not provide support to the local charIties or give money to help improve our community. They take the money so they can out spend small local businesses on Google and other search engines, which is why so many small town florist have had to simply go out of business.

Please keep in mind, the local community retailers are the ones who “give back” to local charities and support our community. Our sales tax is paid to the City of Baton Rouge, Denham Springs, etc… as opposed to taxes going to New york, Connicticut, Illinois, California or wherever the online company is located. Support the local businesses that give back and support your community

When you #shoplocal, the local vendor receives 100%, or in this case 100.00 to provide your flowers and service you requested.

When received from a “national order gatherer”, after taking the cost of delivery out of the 71.00(-10.95), the local florist is providing 100% of the order is only getting 60.05, which is 46% of what you originally spent

Shop Local, support your local communities. No matter where you live so they can continue to support your Local School Charities, local churches, your YMCA’s, Chamber of Commerce, Cancer, Junior Achievement, Charter Schools and all Charitable organizations…… At Rickey Heromans we support and help hundreds of charity organizations and events every year. So remember, when buying flowers and gifts… ALWAYS #SHOPLOCAL #BRStrong #LaProud #supportlocalcharity #communitysupport #localcharity
