Flowers have a special, unique and exciting way of expressing how someone feels or thinks about an occasion or event.
The staff at an Ocala company that specializes in floral arrangements embraces that concept and has been showing the community its designs for quite some time.
Let’s meet them, and here’s what we know:
What’s the name of the company?
Floral Designs of Ocala, located in the 14th Street Plaza at 1025 NE 14th St.
Who are the staff members?
Steven DeMonico, owner; Jessica McCubbin, partner/co-owner; and designers Michele Feldmann and Anne Methhvin.
How long have they been in business?
Since June 17, 2024.
When do you open?
Monday through Friday, from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., with delivery available any day as needed.
Tell the community about yourselves?
DeMonico said he managed another floral shop in Ocala for 19 years before leaving after new owners took over. He said he spoke with McCubbin and her husband, Wes, about opening their own business, and they decided to take on the adventure together.
What does the business offer?
Fresh-cut flowers arranged for any occasion, live plants, and silk arrangements.
What separates you from other flower businesses?
Experience, both McCubbin and DeMonico said. The partners said that with DeMonico’s 19 years managing a flower shop and the designers’ more than 30 years of combined experience, they feel their knowledge sets them apart. They also offer timely delivery and are sensitive to the needs of any occasion.
Why should customers choose you?
Attention to detail, customer service and custom design, McCubbin said. With custom design, McCubbin said, “Our customers can call us about an idea and we’ll bring it to fruition.”
To the public, the owners — including Wes — said, “We know you have a choice for your floral needs. We want you to know that our team’s first concern is always you. Our designs and service are top notch, and we’ll always go the extra mile.”
