Barbie from Wisconsin
The original Barbie doll, created by Ruth Handler in the early 1950s, was from the fictional town of Willows, Wisconsin. Ruth created the doll with this backstory after discovering that her own daughter liked to play with paper dolls depicting adults with fashionable clothing. The rest is history, as Barbie is still a collector’s item and popular toy to this day.
To send a flower arrangement to a Barbie enthusiast, or anyone who appreciates a feminine touch, stick to Barbie’s signature color: pink. There are an abundance of pink floral varieties including roses, alstroemeria, stargazer lilies, carnations, stock, ranunculus, and lisianthus. Using various shades of pink from blush to magenta will create depth in a flower arrangement.
Biking Milwaukee
The Harley-Davidson Company does not have much in common with Barbie besides shared Wisconsin roots. These highly crafted motorcycles from Milwaukee feature air-cooled V-Twin engines that set them apart from other cycles. Founders William S. Harley and brothers Arthur and Walter Davidson may have created the company out of a shed in 1903, but today it is a household name even for those who’ve never rode upon a two-wheeler.
Customers can draw inspiration from this Wisconsin staple for a flower arrangement that has a more streamlined, industrial, or masculine feel. Take a cue from the company’s logo with an orange arrangement. Flowers in this hue include: birds of paradise, protea, Asiatic lilies, gerber daisies, roses, alstroemeria, and carnations. A black vase or black wire can really accentuate the ‘Harley’ theme. For a more subtle, streamlined take, request a flower arrangement with a clean, linear design in monochromatic colors.
The Circus in Baraboo
A Wisconsin town with a name like “Baraboo” lends itself well to a goofy circus. And that is precisely where the Ringling Brothers first performed their acts, which they called the World’s Greatest Shows, in 1884. A circus theme arrangement can bring cheer for birthday flowers or a get-well arrangement. Try traditional circus colors such as red, blue, yellow, and white that will conjure visions of the big top. Above all this flower arrangement should be colorful, fun, unique, and never stuffy or overly manicured.
