Sweetwater was the florist who I chose for my wedding. I sent different ideas I had as well as…read morevenue photos and my colors. From the first contact with them to delivery day it was an amazing experience. Everyone who we had contact with treated us kindly and professional. I am not a florist, so I left the designing to the expert and I was not disappointed. I will continue to recommend them.

Here's the thing about flower delivery: the recipient doesn't care about how heirloom or exotic the…read moreflowers and vines are. They care about how the flowers look when they get them. That initial reaction is what matters. And when I order a $150 arrangement and pay nearly $200 all-in with delivery for my parents' 47th wedding anniversary and their reaction is, "They're fine...they're pretty..there's branches and carnations," that doesn't make for a happy customer or repeat business. Sweetwater has a website that isn't really user friendly when it comes to ordering. At the time of this review, they advertise a "grand" $88 wrapped bouquet but no way to add the vase even though the description says it can be put into a chic case. That pictured bouquet is in fact grand and plentiful. Because I wanted a vase, I called to place the order. I wanted to support local. I asked them to make a "grand arrangement" with bright colors. You can see what's on their site next to what was delivered for $150 and judge for yourself whether it's worth the price. I get that flowers are subjective. And I appreciate that this florist tried to explain the value when I called. Maybe a professional florist will see the jasmine vines and Veronica and say this is an arrangement worth the price, but the sparseness and stems didn't make the recipient's eyes light up, and that is what matters most.

All About Colorado is probably my favorite souvenir place that I visited in Downtown CO Springs…read more If rating souvenir shops on the scale of cheesy t-shirt shop to high end decor, AAC falls right in the middle. It has a little bit of everything for everyone. AAC is actually two shops in one. It looks like they may have been separate at one time, but are now connected. Both sides have similar items and similar helpful staff. Here are some of the items I liked: Hats: I love a good ball cap. They had several different styles. Shirts: There were a good variety of shirts that were Colorado themed or for specific local attractions. Their shirts were much cheaper than the ones for sale at the local attractions. Stickers: I love stickers. I bought several. There were some that seemed a tad ridiculous, but I am sure they sell plenty of weed themed stickers here. Weeeeeeeed maaaaaaan. Get a job hippy. Coffee Mugs: Even though I drink iced coffee, I love location specific mugs. They had mugs a plenty here. Kids books: Who hasn't read "Who Pooped in the Snow"? Actually, I have not and it made me regret that my kids don't like story time anymore. This store has way more than the items I listed. I think you will like it. I did.

The person I spoke to when I called was so friendly and assured me that the arrangement would be lovely. When she asked what I wanted and I gave a vague, "colorful and pretty, not so many twigs and filler, maybe with some roses and reds and pinks and oranges...?" she seemed to understand. When I asked for price point recommendations she came with a suggestion much lower than I expected to spend given my past experiences. The flowers were prettier and grander in person than they appear in these photos. They are super fresh and vibrant. The arrangement looks lovely from all angles, front and back. And most of all, the recipient (my mom) was genuinely happy and surprised by them. Points for me, points for this shop.
