STORY

vitos mother's Day

At Vito’s, we’ve always been passionate about creating memorable experiences for our guests, so when the opportunity to rent Friendly City Florals’ bloom bar came up, it was an easy choice! For Mother’s Day, we sourced hundreds of carnations to fill the bloom bar, and each mother who dined with us left with a beautiful flower to take home.

The next day, with the bloom bar still beautifully filled, we continued the celebration for JMU’s graduation by handing out carnations to every graduate who came in with their families.

Mothers beamed as they received their carnations, a small token of appreciation that made their day even more special. And it was heartwarming to see each student, still glowing with excitement from their graduation, receive a flower as a little celebratory gift from us.

Having Friendly City Florals’ bloom bar helped us connect with our guests in a unique way, adding a layer of kindness and celebration to two important occasions. Partnering with them allowed us to spread joy not only to our customers but to our entire community!

We would love to elevate your event

How far in advance should I book?

We recommend booking your Bloom Bar at least 4 to 6 weeks in advance to ensure availability for your desired date. This allows us to prepare and coordinate all necessary logistics for a seamless experience.


What types of flowers do you offer?

We provide a variety of seasonal blooms, including sunflowers, dahlias, zinnias, snapdragons, lisianthus and peonies during their peak seasons. Availability may vary, but we aim to offer a beautiful selection that reflects the best of each season.


Can I request specific flowers?

Yes, you can certainly request specific flowers! While we will do our best to accommodate your preferences, please keep in mind that availability depends on the season. We encourage you to discuss your favorite flowers with us during the booking process to see what can be included in your Bloom Bar experience.


What if I live outside the 10 mile radius of Harrisburg?

If your location is outside the 10-mile radius, we can still accommodate your request! However, additional travel fees will apply to cover gas and time costs. Please contact us for a quote based on your specific distance and event needs.

Is it possible to add an on-site florist to my package?

Currently, our rental packages do not include an on-site florist. However, we can provide you with recommendations for local florists who offer floral design services. If you're interested in hiring a florist, we can help connect you with someone who can assist with your event.

What happens if it rains on the day of my event?

We recommend having a backup plan for inclement weather. If your event is outdoors, we suggest arranging for a tent or alternative indoor location. The Bloom Bar setup can be adjusted based on your venue to ensure everything runs smoothly.

What is your cancellation policy?

If you need to cancel your rental, please contact us as soon as possible. Cancellations made within a certain period before the event may incur a fee. Specific terms will be outlined in your rental agreement.

How many guests can participate in the Bloom Bar?

Our Bloom Bar can accommodate a variety of group sizes. If you have a large number of guests, consider using smaller vases or bud vases to help the flowers stretch further and allow everyone to create their own unique arrangements.
