Tom Brady's Flowers

Flowers and the Super Bowl run-up merged last week when the New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady was spotted carrying a gorgeous white bouquet and wearing a boot on the way to girlfriend Gisele Bundchen's home.

The Boston Herald's Renee Nadeau covered the Tom Brady flowers angle with local florists speculating as to why Brady might have been bringing the bouquet. Love? Just Because? A ticket out of the dog house?  Whatever the reason, the bouquet made a big splash and was the source of nearly as much speculation in the press as the boot.  

One of the comments sure tickled me:

"Brady’s most recent arrangement may be considered cutting edge, mixing ferns, baby’s breath, white carnations and white roses."

 The design was in a classic dome-shaped look, more retro chic than cutting edge, but seeing him chose carnations is a strong signal the variety may no longer considered verboten by style setters.  I've sung the praises of carnations in a previous post and am hoping they'll get yet another fresh look.

We at Avante Gardens have whipped up a Tom Brady inspired bouquet so Anaheim and Orange County guys can send flowers like an MVP, too.

After informally polling customers last week, the only fellows to pass on this look were San Diego Charger and New York Giants fans.  Can you blame them? ;)
