Maternity Leave Updates
As most of you know, we are expecting our newborn baby any day now! We have made it to 38 weeks today, so my business will be going through a few changes for the next few weeks as we prepare for life with a newborn. I am starting my maternity leave now, and I plan to come back to full- time work starting Mother’s Day week. My business will not be fully closed, however we will only be available for certain things during those weeks. I am including the changes here in case you need to refer back to them while I am on maternity leave.
What we will be doing:
Prom Flowers and Daddy/Daughter Dance Flowers- We will still be taking prom and daddy/daughter dance orders for all events in the area except for the week of March 14th (Jackson Academy’s prom). We are being induced that week so unfortunately, we will not be doing any flowers then (so sorry for this inconvenience). For all other proms/dances, we will be taking orders! You can purchase these flowers online this year at whitneynorrisfd.com/prom-menu (this will be the easiest way to purchase your prom/dance flowers) or you can call and leave us a message at (251)275-3082. Please keep in mind that we will likely be slower to get back with you or answer the phone after the baby arrives. Also, all of these orders will be cut off early for each prom/dance! So please get your orders in as soon as possible to ensure that you are able to get your flowers from us!
Subscription Flowers- We will still be doing subscription flowers for those of you who have subscriptions.
Funeral Plants- We will have plants available for funeral deliveries. All of these orders will be taken on an availability basis (meaning if we have a delivery driver available to deliver these). To order a funeral plant please call us at (251)275-3082. As always, if the phone goes to voicemail, please leave us a message and we will call you back as soon as possible.
Cemetery Decoration- If you have Decoration coming up in April/May please get those orders to me as soon as possible so we can be working on these while on maternity leave to have them ready for you! Call us at (251)275-3082 for these orders.
What we will not be doing:
Daily Deliveries- We will not be doing daily deliveries during this time. We will not have a full-time person on staff to make orders daily, so we are cutting this part of our business out until the week of Mother’s Day.
Funeral Sprays/Designs with Fresh Flowers- Again, we will not have a full- time person available during this time to make these orders. We will however, have plants available for delivery for funerals. For a plant, please call us at (251)275-3082.
Please keep in mind that we may be slower to get back with you or answer the phone after the baby arrives. As always, if the phone goes to voicemail, please leave us a message and someone will call you back as soon as possible. Thank you so much for your support of our business and your understanding during this exciting time in our lives!
