Well, the time has arrived to start thinking about my future flower shop and all that goes along with it.
I already have tons of prices/paper work and other things filled out. I am currently about to get my tax id number so that i can get into wholesalers,etc. To get my tax id number- i need to put down a shop name. Even though i don't have my shop yet- i will still have the name and be able to use it- it also copyrights my shop name so nobody else can take it i believe (i'm looking more into that). There are TONS of shops in Memphis, but not a ton in Bartlett (right down the road where we live) so my location will likely be Bartlett, or Cordova (owned by memphis city but right outside of bartlett- all of those cities are in the same county.) Anywhere- so Colin and I talked last night about money and things related to opening up my own shop. He's being soooo supportive and wonderful about everything. As of right now- we're looking at about 2 1/2 to 3 years before i will be able to get my shop so we have time to save up money. We want to be sure we're absolutely financially secure with everything before taking such a venture. So for now i'm getting my tax id number and shopping locations and other things
By the time i'm ready to open i will have really done my homework and be prepared
So here's where ya'll come in- i need suggestions for a shop name
PLEASE please please throw out all the names/titles you can think of. Every idea will help. I will probably have to go throw the phonebook and rule out possabilities for my shop names depending on the other shops that already have their names. Here are some of the names that are already taken: (click the link then scroll down and keep clicking "next" those are only a fraction of the shops in the midsough. fortunatley though the locations i'm thinking about don't have any shops in the area so i won't have TOO much immediate competition)

As of right now I REALLY REALLY like the name : Serenity Flowers for my shop. The "Serenity Prayer" has always been really special to me- so it just seems appropriate. I also LOVE Lilies so anything with lily in the title would be appropriate. Whatever suggestions ya'll can come up with - i would GLADLY appreciate it! Also- it doesn't have to be an English named shop- you could use different languages for suggestions as well in the title- for instance, my good friend Shawn opened up her shop a few years ago that i used to work at. She's Dutch and the entire shopping center is actually Dutch- so she named her shope Bloemengarden- it was just perfect for her. So all suggestions would be great!
Thanks everyone!
Also i probably won't want to use my name in the shop name but i'm open to suggestions. My first name is Lydia and my middle is Nichole.
