Let Flowers Symbolize Your New Year
With a brand new year on the horizon, we’ve all started thinking about what we can do to make it better than the previous. We all have good intentions when creating New Years’ resolutions, however, most of us never follow through. Why? We tend to make a lot of promises to ourselves we can’t keep — Loose 20 lbs; stop smoking; read a book every month. While these are great goals to have, it can be extremely overwhelming to start these all at once on January 1st.
Each flower has a meaning that dates back as far as Victorian times. These meanings symbolize anything from ‘love’ to ‘wealth & prosperity.’ This New Years, let flowers symbolize what you want 2012 to mean to you. Symbolic flowers with specific meanings will help you visualize and empower your goals.

Buying V-Day Flowers This Year? Read These Tips From Those In The Know
Valentines Day flowers mean so much more than just a bundle of roses put together. If you want to really show how much you care, order EARLY! Take just a few minutes to call your florist and talk to them about your sweetie.
When a florist knows what type of person they are designing for, they can make it truly personal. Just by telling your florist just a few things about your honey, such as their age and basic interests, they will create something that is sure to be a hit!
“You don’t need to know every flower available or even the types of flowers the person likes most,” said Marybeth Flowers, owner of Flowers by Flowers in Parkville, Md.. “You know this person. You know how warm they are. Just look at the way they dress. If they are a flannel or corduroy kind of person, then we can develop something like a bohemian bouquet or something with a prairie look.”

Florals End Quarrels!
In the dog house? With the stress of recent holidays and the new year, it’s understandable many loving couples are finding themselves quarreling during this time. It’s perfectly normal for couples to have disagreements, and sometimes making up can be worth the whole conflict.
Before things get too heated, step back from the situation and ask yourself, “Is all this arguing worth it?” More than likely, it’s not. When we stay mad, it affects our mind, body and more. Being angry makes it hard to stay focused and be productive.
