Creative
Designs and Weddings handles practically all of your floral
needs, from every day to
special occasions. They are a full service florist.
They do fresh flower
and live plant design,
as well as silk designs.
Their designs include decorative indoor plant baskets,
potted plants, and dish
gardens which
make great gifts or use them to decorate around the home or office.
For weddings they do everything:
bouquets, boutineers, corsages, church decoration,
reception decoration, tuxedo
rentals – everything except “no
gowns and no singing,” says manager Kay Hunter. At
holidays and special occasions, you can look to them for custom and
festive designs. They also handle funeral
flowers, including casket sprays, casket pillows, and
wreaths.
[New location at 616 Keokuk offers easy
access for creative design customers.]
If
you are looking for a gift, and
in case you don't want to send flowers, you can send balloons and
balloon bouquets.
Not
only can Creative Designs handle your floral, plants, and balloons,
but they can also service all your
long-distance floral needs. Through FTD wire services, you
can send a special FTD
design and any other plant
or floral design
you choose to just about anywhere in the world.

As
if all this were not enough, this
versatile business also offers Logan County residents another
great service free
delivery in the Logan County area!
Bailey Elkins, father to Stephen Elkins, drives the
delivery truck and travels with a warm smile. Aside from Bailey and Kay Hunter, the business
also employs Rachel Gaydosh and Rhonda Kincheloe.

little plant baskets fill Creative Designs and Weddings, now located
beside Lincoln Vacuum Sales and Service at 616 Keokuk.]
The
owners were previously associated with Flowers by Tibbs; however,
Creative Designs is a completely new business.
They still have
the same phone number as
before the move, (217 ) 735-2725. Former regular
customers will find that with patience, the new owners will learn
exactly what you want. They
want to provide the same quality service and are eager to please.
If you want them to do something in a special way, Hunter says, “Bring
a picture, then we’ll
know.”
Be
sure to stop in and get to know the folks at Creative Designs and
Weddings, so they can get to know you and your floral needs.

A
crew of about a dozen started in on the construction. In just a few
days, they finished the foundation and the roof for the bin. In the
construction of the walls of the bin, the roof will be hoisted off
the foundation and rings of metal walling will be added. Brad
Schuette, location manager at the Beason elevator, said that the
erection is scheduled to take two to three weeks. When complete, the
bin will be 70 feet tall, 90 feet in diameter, and hold 416,000
bushels.
The
bin will be the largest bin to date at the Beason Elevator. Smaller
bins already at the facility hold 250,000, and larger bins hold
275,000 bushels.

The bin will be used to
store soybeans. Storage area for beans at the site previously ran
short, prompting the need for the new bin. Thinking of one for the
back yard? The total cost for materials and construction: $500,000.
