5 Reasons To Send Flowers: June ’15

June 1, 2015 by Miroslava Casiano 6 Comments

June is the sixth month of the year and the first month of summer–one of the most anticipated seasons! This month, not only do we celebrate the beginning of summer, but many other very special occasions too. Here is a list of five reasons to celebrate and send flowers in June!

1. Best Friends Day – June 8th

We all have friends but only a handful of those friends fit in the category of “best friends”. Our besties are always there to console us when we need it most. A yellow rose represents friendship and nothing surprises a friend more than a bouquet of yellow roses to represent such an incredible bond.

2. Red Rose Day – June 12th

A red rose is most known for representing love and romance, but also respect, courage and beauty. To this day, the red rose has kept its meaning and continues to delight us with its beautiful petals and aroma. A single-stemmed red rose is more than enough to remind the special people in your life how truly loved they are.

3. Smile Power Day – June 15th

A smile has the power to transform our day in just a matter of seconds. Sometimes a coworker or a friend needs a little pick-me-up. A bright bouquet of flowers, such as gerbers, are sure to turn any frown upside down!

4. Father’s Day – June 21st

Father’s day is an important holiday in June. It’s always meaningful to thank our father’s for all their hard work. We never really think about sending men flowers, but why not? Maybe not roses, but exotic flowers that are more masculine in a linear or natural design makes for a great gift. Not too sure about sending him flowers? Go for a plant such as a bonsai or bamboo–great for the office!

5.Hug Holiday Day – June 29th

This holiday was created by Hugs for Health Foundation to remind us of hugging those in need of cheer and love. Today, along with flowers, go to the nearest hospice, hospital or just walk down the street and give love to those in need.

If you are thinking about sending flowers, for any occasion, contact your local florist and ask for their professional advice. Don’t know what flowers to choose? A “designer’s choice” arrangement is always the best option. Your florist will make something beautiful for your loved one!

Best 5 Reasons to Send Flowers in May

May 1, 2014 by Juli Jackson Leave a Comment

May is the month where spring stretches to it’s fullest extent and offers up mild weather, bright blooms and just enough sun to make your day sparkle. It’s the perfect month to make some time for the outdoors, open all the windows in your house and breathe in the warm freshness of the season. Even if it means talking a little allergy medicine to make it through that fine day! Here are our very favorite reasons to send flowers this month:

#1. Cinco de Mayo – May 5th

Literally “the 5th of May” in Spanish, Cinco de Mayo is celebrated each year on, yep, May 5th. This date commemorates the Mexican victory over the French in 1862. The holiday has grown tremendously in the United States as a celebration of Mexican pride and honoring of heritage. All over the country, people come together to throw fiestas and sing the praises of a colorful culture. And what better way to add to festivities than bringing beautiful flowers to be enjoyed by all? Whether celebrating your roots or just appreciating someone else’s, contact your local florist to help add a punch of COLOR!

#2. National Nurses Day – May 6th

Nurses handle everything from assisting doctors during major surgeries to making sure medicines and doctor’s orders are followed through. We all owe a big thanks to the nurses in our lives who often work long difficult hours caring for the youngest, the oldest and the sickest around. National Nurse’s Day celebrates these hard-working individuals. So brighten the day of a nurse you know. Send a cheery arrangement that gives thanks to all they do day in and day out.

#3. Mother’s Day – May 11th

This really is the mother of all flower-sending holidays and that’s because nothing shows love and unconditional affection like fresh-cut flowers. Have your mom’s flowers delivered during the week to her office so she can show them off to her friends. Or have flowers arrive on the weekend to help her enjoy her special day. Speaking of special, be sure to ask your local florist about their Mother’s Day specials. No matter what style or variety you choose, your mother is sure to feel the love this Mother’s Day with flowers.

#4. Armed Forces Day – May 17th and Memorial Day – May 26th

That’s 2 chances you have this month to show your love for the red, white and blue! Armed Forces Day salutes soldiers currently serving in the military while Memorial Day is set aside to honor those fallen heroes who gave their life in service. Send a beautiful patriotic themed bouquet to a special friend or family member who serves or served their country through military service. This month, take time to remember the strength of our county comes from the collective efforts of these military men and women.

#5. May Birthdays

Have family or friends with a May birthday coming up soon? Show them just how thoughtful you are with a lovely arrangement. Make it even more thoughtful and personal by ordering their favorite color. Not sure what color, style or flower would be a hit? Talk to your local florist to see what is trendy and in season right now. Some all-time favorite flowers for May are peonies, alstromeria, callas, delphimium, freesia and snapdragons.
