5 Reasons To Send Flowers: June ’15

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!

Top 3 Alternative Gift Bouquets

There are times where a loved needs a different sort of gift. Maybe the recipient is allergic to flowers, or it’s a special occasion and you want to do something a bit different. Well, your florist can help with that too! Here are 3 alternative gift bouquets.

Top 3 Alternative Gift Bouquets

Candy Basket

Perfect for a young one or a kid at heart, a candy basket gives that sweet tooth in your life a huge smile. Consider this bouquet for a graduation or a job well done for a student or coworker!

Spa Kit

After a long day at the office, make someone smile with a spa kit. Deliciously scented candles and soothing lotion is the perfect gift to sit down and relax after a hard day’s work.

Fruit Gift

Need a house warming gift? This fruit basket will fill a new kitchen for newlyweds or long-time friends. This basket also works as a great get well soon or just because gift.

Trending Graduation Arrangements

 Graduation is a special time. It marks the completion of a stage of life and the beginning of a new chapter. What better gift to congratulate the graduate than flowers–a symbol of thriving and growth. Here are some ideas for great graduation arrangements for an amazing student!

School Colors

Graduation is the perfect time to show off school pride! Consider an arrangement with the recipient’s school colors. Your florist can help you find the best bunch of blooms for your loved one. Whether it’s dyed flowers or even colorful ribbon, surprise your student with some school spirit.

Plants

Ferns, succulents and bamboo plants make great graduation gifts. These sorts of plants require minimal care, which is ideal for a graduate’s new desk. In addition, green plants tend to last longer than cut flowers, allowing the recipient to have a reminder of their special day for a long time to come.

Roses

Always popular for many occasions, roses are a universal sign of love. They are a reminder that the recipient is very special to the giver and graduation is an ideal time to express that. Roses come in a large variety of hues, so consider a bouquet of mixed colors to symbolize the many choices your graduate can make in the near future.

Personalization

Talk to your florist about incorporating some gifts within an arrangement. Maybe new school supplies or something useful for their new job–your local florist can personalize their arrangement for an extra special graduation gift.

Whatever you choose, your graduate will feel special with their own arrangement. You are reminding them not only of your pride in them, but also that they are going out into the world to grow and prosper–just like a flower. For more great ideas, check back with the Bloomin’ Blog.

5 Trending Valentine’s Day Arrangements

Valentine’s Day is the biggest floral holiday of the year. But this year, give that special loved one something unique! It’s the perfect time to show your sweetie how much you care and surprise them with a twist on the traditional flower arrangement. Here are 2015 Valentine’s Day floral trends making the rounds to loved ones everywhere.

Roses in a Box
Scrap the vase altogether! Many florists have gift boxes available, so have them line up roses so your sweetie gets a lush, fragrant surprise upon opening the lid. When they receive the box, they’ll be expecting chocolates, but instead they will receive a unique floral arrangement that they can dry and keep as lovely potpourri. In this case, think inside the box!

Ditch the Red
With so many rose colors to choose from, you can always deliver a favorite. Maybe a pink or purple arrangement would be more fitting for your specific recipient–after all, you don’t have to use roses! If you do have your heart set on them, they come in just about every hue under the sun. Tell your florist about your significant other’s favorite color and let them help you make the right choice.

Tip: An orange rose signifies desire and passion–perfect for a new romance. For a friend, choose a yellow rose.

Hanging Beauty
Instead of a bouquet, consider something with a little more shape. Your florist can create a heart-shaped arrangement, like a wreath. Your loved one can display it on their front door or hang it as decor in their living room.

Bling Bling
If she likes sparkle, add some to her arrangement! Your florist has a lots of options to really make flowers pop. From heart-shaped pins to strings of shiny pearls, these can be added to the vase or the jewels can even be inserted into the middle of flowers for a surprise sparkle.

Florals to Wear
A trend that has continued from last year are floral crowns and jewelry. This stylish floral gift can be a classic take on Valentine’s Day flowers because she can wear her arrangement! What a better gift to give your significant other on the day of love than the opportunity to feel like a princess? She’ll love to wear her gift all day, whether it’s a headband, a bracelet, or a necklace.

There are many creative ways to shower your sweetheart with flowers this Valentine’s day. Plan ahead with your florist and give that valentine a unique floral gift.
