Flowers by Cynde has been a familiar Brecksville institution since its founding on July 8, 1982. Charlotte Hoagland brought her talents to the shop in the early 1990s, and worked as the head floral designer until she purchased the shop in 1998. We visited with Charlotte recently, and listened as she outlined Flowers by Cynde's wide array of offerings and services;
Flowers by Cynde is a full service floral shop specializing in a wide selection of fresh flowers, potted plants, tropicals, and dish gardens. We offer contemporary and traditional arrangements, including high-style fresh floral arrangements, silk arrangements, and wreaths. Our extensive gift line consists of gourmet and fruit baskets, gift baskets, greeting cards, candles, and many Ohio made gift items.
We're experts in funeral work, and have recently opened our bridal and wedding room where we introduce our customers to trendy, up-beat corsages, formal wear, and new flowers. We have displays of corsages, boutonniéres, bridal and prom bouquets, and table centerpieces in silk to provide our customers with ideas for their special functions that can be recreated with fresh flowers.
We have a vast assortment of silks on hand that we use to create door wreaths, centerpieces for the table, and occasion pieces to enhance the home. We also do a lot of custom silk work. Customers will often come to us with containers, wall paper swatches, or fabrics to give us a feel of their décor. We'll talk with them a bit, get a feel for what they're looking for, and then create it for them. After taking the finished arrangement home and living with it a couple days, they can bring it back to be fine tuned at no extra charge.
Although the floral industry is very competitive, you won't find better customer service than ours. We strive to work closely with each customer to help them achieve their goals, and our delivery area includes the Greater Cleveland area and its suburbs, the suburbs of the Akron area, such as Hudson, Richfield, Bath, Twinsburg, and Fairlawn, in addition to some Medina areas.
Flowers by Cynde is located in the heart of Brecksville in a farm house constructed in the mid-1800s. Many of our customers remember coming here years ago when the building housed Dr. Vigor's medical practice. We've recently found many little bottles in the basement containing medicine from a previous era. I've met two of the boys who grew up here, and they've taken me throughout the house showing me where their father's office was, which rooms were bedrooms, where the bath used to be, and where their mother had her garden. I learned a lot about the house, and they had a wonderful time reminiscing while showing their families where they had grown up.
From custom silk arrangements to Ohio made gifts and fresh cut flowers, Flowers by Cynde has built a reputation founded on excellent service and a desire to please. Call or stop by Flowers by Cynde today, and don't forget to tell them The Advocate sent you!
