Decorating Dress Code:
Dress WARM because it's often COLD in the warehouse. Buildings are NOT heated in order to keep the flowers at their best. Please dress accordingly. Temperatures in Pasadena are cool this time of year (60s - 70s during the day, 50s at night). Rain is always a possibility, but since we are indoors you won't get wet;--however, this may make temperatures much cooler.
Special Considerations
- All decorators MUST wear closed-toe shoes. Sandals/flip-flops/slippers/etc. are NOT safe and individuals without proper footwear will not be allowed in the building.
- A Petal Pushers T-shirt or sweatshirt is REQUIRED in order to gain admission to the decorating building during decorating week (December 26th - January 1st). These items can be purchased at each decoration location at FULL price, or can be ordered online at a discount.
- No radios, headsets, earbuds or ear phones are allowed in the decorating buildings.
- Cell phones are not to be used inside the building
- Parking is limited. Watch for and obey the "NO PARKING" signs. Your car may be towed or ticketed.
- Please be courteous to everyone. Be a good Christian witness.
- HAVE FUN!
- We look forward to meeting all of you. May the Lord bless all of you in your travels to Pasadena.
