October 2, 2015 by Leave a Comment

We all know about Halloween but that really isn’t the only holiday to celebrate this month. Here are five other reasons to send flowers in October!

1. World Teachers’ Day – October 5th

Primary, high school, and college teachers–let’s celebrate them all! Teachers are a key component in the education of our children and deserve a big “Thank You.” A small arrangement with gerberas, sunflowers or roses would be great to gift that very special teacher.

2. You Matter To Me Day – October 7th

Take time to show your appreciation for the special people in your life. Perhaps your husband or wife, parents, children, a neighbor, or a friend. Let them know how much they truly matter, “because everyone matters to someone and someone matters to you.”

3. Get To Know Your Customer Day – October  15th

This is a chance for all business owners to interact a little more with customers. Show appreciation for their help in making your business a success. A great idea to give back is to give a flower arrangement away to a lucky customer!

4. National Boss Day – October 16th

A good relationship with the boss is always the start of a good work environment. This day was created to strengthen the relationships between employer and employee. A great way to celebrate this day is by giving flowers! An arrangement of mature roses or a mini-plant to display in an office are great choices for this occasion.

5. Mother-In-Law Day – October 25th

Without our mother-in-laws, we wouldn’t have our spouses! Take a moment today to thank these wonderful ladies with a beautiful flower arrangement and create a deeper connection–a more special bond.

Flowers can be sent any day of the year! Don’t wait for a specific holiday to get here when you can delight the special people in your life today. Head to your local florist, where infinite reasons for happiness await!

Flower Spotlight: Gardenia

September 16, 2015 by Leave a Comment

There are many beautiful flowers that are perfect for different occasions. Today, we will focus on the Gardenia—a simple, elegant and aromatic bloom.

Origins and Symbolism

Gardenias are native to Africa, Asia, Australasia and Oceania. This flower was named after Alexander Garden, a Scottish physician and naturalist who lived in Charleston, South Carolina. Gardenia means “garden flower” and is often used in weddings to symbolize the love and purity of marriage. A solo gardenia or bouquet tells the recipient “I think I’m in love with you,” also making it the perfect flower to send to your crush!

To Consider

Gardenias are strongly scented and grow in the shape of a star with 5-12 petals. The flower is part of an evergreen shrub that can grow up to 49 ft. tall and needs a lot of sunlight and humidity. This flower is toxic to cats, dogs and horses, so make sure to keep your four-legged friends away from this beauty!

Availability

This flowering plant is part of the coffee family. There are 142 different species that can be found in colors white, ivory and yellow. The most popular species is the Cape Jasmine and it is originally grown in China. Gardenias make beautiful cut flowers, amazing corsages and wedding bouquets or arrangements for decoration. Unfortunately, their vase life is very short, but can be prolonged with good cutting techniques. A single gardenia can be gifted or simply placed in a room, floating in a bowl or dish, to give it a more elegant touch.

When planning a wedding, gardenias are a great choice for flowers. They are not only beautiful, but the symbolism behind it makes them very special. Head to your local florist and surprise someone with gardenias!

Every month brings the opportunity to celebrate the people we love. Whether it’s a birthday or a goofy holiday, fill the day with flowers. Here are five opportunities for happiness!

1. Hug Your Boss Day – September 4th

This day was created by TipTopJob to create healthy working relationships. A good work environment is proven to make people more productive and often that environment is created by our boss.

3. Grandparent’s Day – September 13th

Our parents discipline us with tender loving care and our grandparents are the ones to spoil us! We love these beautiful, delicate people whose wisdom guide us in the right direction. A beautiful plant or an arrangement with classic flowers, like roses, are always a good choice for this occasion. Make them know you are grateful of their unconditional love!

4. World Gratitude Day – September 21st

Gratitude Day originated in Hawaii in the year 1965. A group of people decided it was a good idea to have one day, every year, to express gratitude for the many wonderful things in life. This is a chance for you to thank those who make your world a better place. Perhaps giving a little bit back in the form of flowers. One day a year can definitely make a positive impact and brighten someone’s day!

5. National Good Neighbor Day – September 28th

This is a great opportunity to build a more meaningful relationship with our neighbors. On this day, take this opportunity to reward a good neighbor! Gibe the people next door a plant for their garden or a colorful arrangement for their home. This will definitely surprise someone who has been a  pleasure to call your neighbor.

Happiness doesn’t have to be in the form of an expensive gift. Sometimes a simple arrangement can make all the difference! Head to your local florist and share the love!

Hanging Terrariums

July 6, 2015 by 2 Comments

A trend that has made a lasting impact on home decor are beautiful and timeless glass hanging terrariums. These unique treasures add a simple touch to any home. Whether you are looking for a dinner host gift or something to add to an already perfect room, here are some reasons why you should consider hanging terrariums.

Tiny Treasures

Hanging Terrariums are open glass containers used to hang up air plants, also known as Tillandsias. These air plants are super easy to care for because they don’t need soil to grow, are slow growing and are very hardy. They come in a variety of shapes and sizes, and are easy to add with other terrarium details such as colored reindeer moss or a lichen covered branch.

As A Gift

Perfect as gifts, hanging terrariums are a lasting piece that adds a touch of life to any room. No need for a green thumb! Give this as a gift to anyone on any occasion.

For The Home

Looking for something easy to maintain? Maybe want a living piece of decor? Hang these terrariums by the kitchen window or have them hang on the porch. Terrariums add something extra to a room and make guests stop and admire.

Next time you visit your local florist, ask them about hanging terrariums to give as a gift or to beautify your home! For more great ideas and tips, visit the Bloomin’ Blog.

It’s finally July and hot! Let’s all celebrate by going to the beach and giving flowers to the ones we love. Here are 5 different holidays and occasions to send flowers this month.

1. Independence Day – July 4th

This day we celebrate the independence of our nation. Many of us host parties, and a beautiful patriotic centerpiece or bouquet will add that sophisticated touch to any decor. Perhaps an arrangement with white, red and blue flowers in a blue vase, or let your local florist surprise you!

Today is about performing an act of kindness. Maybe a friend or coworker recently moved away from home and now lives on their own far from their family. Today, give these people a reason to smile! A beautiful mix of bright blooms will definitely make them feel welcome and ease the home-sick feeling.

3. Cousins Day – July 24th

Let’s celebrate all cousins! These people made life that much fun growing up and family reunions more tolerable. Bright colored flowers, like yellow lilies, are a great representation of this awesome bond.

4. Parents’ Day – July 26th

We have Mother’s Day, Father’s Day and then we have Parents’ Day! This is a day to celebrate both mom and dad for their continuous love and support. An astonishing exotic arrangement with orchids or birds of paradise is a great choice for this occasion.

5. International Day of Friendship – July 30th

This day was made to promote friendship! Perhaps you know someone you wish to reconnect with? Maybe you have an amazing friend you would like to thank–just because? Either way, a flower arrangement will definitely make a friend’s day. Try yellow roses, gerbers or sunflowers!

There is no need to have a specific holiday to surprise our friends and family with a gift. This is something that can be done all year round. Visit your local florist today and send flowers!

Card Messages: June 2015

June 10, 2015 by Leave a Comment

 

It is often that we find ourselves unable to transcribe feelings. It is easier to let others know the way we feel with actions rather than written words. If this is the case for you, below are a few things to say for different occasions in June.

Birthday Wishes

For Mom: You are the sunshine that brightens our lives. The light that shows us the way. Happy Birthday Mom!

For Dad: Mom is the core of the flower, we are the petals and you are the stem. Always supporting and providing our needs with the most loving care. Happy Birthday Dad!

For a Friend: A year older, a year wiser! Happy Birthday!

Wedding Notes

To Both: New beginnings are always good, especially when that new beginning is the one you love. Congratulations!

For Her: Wishing you a lifetime of love and happiness with the luckiest man in the world!

For Him: Some people spend their entire lives looking for love. Today, you are forever with yours. Congratulations!

Sympathy Thoughts

This is the beginning of immortality for she/he will forever live in our hearts.

Let the joyful moments of yesterday be a reason for smiling today, tomorrow and always.

Thinking about sending flowers? Head to your local florist and use one of the messages above. Let the lovely people in your life know how much you care!
