How did you determine your business name?
I needed a name in five minutes! Besides, we really are in the country and we are "The Little Country Shop with Style!"
What inspired you to go into the floral business? Have you ever worked in an office cubical for eight hours?

What's the coolest aspect of your business?
Our boutique-style shop also carries semi-precious jewelry, fabulous bath and body products, Trapp candles and much more. We also love to do weddings and events. We see every wedding as a work of art, never to be exactly repeated. Each bride and groom has a different vision, and we can make it happen!

What's the most amazing service you offer?
Ourselves. We are fun and talented girls who truly enjoy doing great work. Our motto is: "We are cool people doing cool flowers for cool people." We are also cutting edge and keep up with the popular trends. And because of our creativity, "budget" is never a "bad word" around here. We can design gorgeous weddings that brides love - all without making Dad sweat!

What does the future hold for your company?
Well, we like to travel with our wedding clients to new and beautiful places, so you tell us where we are going!

What's especially unique about your business?
We are also trained trapeze artists and have been known to hang from 20 foot beams, gazebos, buildings, and - like the mail carrier - no matter what the weather is on your wedding day, we will be there, rain, sleet, fires or snow, we will be there!

What's one thing we might never guess about Acton Country Flowers?
In today's technological world we are able to keep up with web savvy brides. We even book weddings by e-mail and sometimes never even meet the brides in person until their final appointment.
