May 2, 2011 by Leave a Comment

You can never go wrong sending flowers to someone on their birthday. Gazing at beautiful flowers will create sweet birthday memories to hold close to heart. Especially if your recipient works at a desk job. There’s nothing better than having your beautiful birthday gift greet you with it’s vibrant colors every morning when you walk into your office.

April showers bring May flowers, so for a May birthday, flowers are especially sweet. With all of the storms we’ve had in April, May birthday-babies are in need of something bright and cheerful! Send a bouquet of warm summer flowers to brighten their day.

So how do you send flowers for a May birthday?

May’s official flower is lily of the valley, although it’s not always carried by florists in their everyday supplies. If you want to send your sweetie a gift of lily of the valley, be sure to order in plenty of time to have them special ordered. Sure it may take some extra planning, but if you’re a romantic, it’s well worth it!

You can also choose May flowers based on birthstone color, which is Emerald for May. Green flowers are unique and beautiful, and are sure to be appreciated by your Taurus hunny.

Want To Send Zodiac Flowers To A Sagittarius?

December 18, 2009 by 1 Comment

Searching for the perfect gift for a Sagittarius? You’re in luck! A recent birthday gift trend is to send a bouquet of zodiac flowers. Astrological flowers (zodiac flowers) are just unique enough to stand out and just traditional enough to be an across-the-board winner. To keep you from having to google til your fingers hurt, we’re going to give you a heads up and let you know what the Sagittarius zodiac flowers are.

Sagittarius Zodiac Flowers:

  • Remerus
  • Eustoma
  • Liatris
  • Carnations
  • Crocus
  • Anemones
  • Muscari

That’s a lot to choose from! Of course, now I wish I were a Sagittarius so I could have a reason to surround myself with carnations. Your local florist is the perfect person to talk to about zodiac flower arrangements. Creating a birthday flower arrangement for a Sagittarius should be a fun experience for both. Your florist will have many great ideas so let them know that you’re open to their creative designs using some of the flowers listed above.

I remember the first Sagittarius flower arrangement I ever sent. Just in case you missed the story last year, here’s a quick recap of my zodiac flowers story. My sweetheart’s little girl turned five last December. I had one of our local florists deliver the arrangement to our home while she was away. The morning of her birthday, we snuck the flowers onto her nightstand so that she’d see them when she first woke up. I know how important flower memories are to me and why. Being part of her first experiences with flowers is pleasing to no end.

Want to make your own flower memories? Send a Sagittarius zodiac flower arrangement from your local florist. Flower Shop Network makes it easy to find a florist near you.

Ever Seen A Jeep Themed Flower Arrangement?

November 6, 2009 by 1 Comment

Just a little Jeep love from Wakulla Florist to brighten your day.

Perfect Jeep Flower Arrangement

Perfect Jeep Flower Arrangement

My family STILL teases me for my incessant love of Jeeps. Because I’m so infatuated, I wanted to share this Jeep themed flower arrangement with you. I’ll admit it. I swooned. I practically salivated over it. Seriously, I love Jeeps and flowers that much. To see them combined? Well, that was heavenly.

Here’s the story from the Crawfordville FL florist who created the arrangement, Wakulla Florist. It’s for all of the gals out there like me who love the off-roading lifestyle of a Jeep and the boys who love the girls like us. This is the story straight from the designer, Kristi Sanders.

Hi Brynn! Thanks for the swooning. We absolutely have the most creative and wonderful customers out there. This customer wanted to surprise his wife on her birthday in a big way. It’s always been her “birthday dream” to get flowers and a Jeep. He gave us total control over the design as long as we focused on the Jeep. We delivered to her office and on the card he made it sound like that was all she was getting and that her “dream” had come true. To her surprise, she had a brand new Jeep waiting for her at home! It’s nice to see that our flowers played such an important role in his big surprise.

The story is just as interesting as the arrangement. Such trickery, a little teasing, a little subterfuge. What Jeep-loving gal wouldn’t love that?

Check Out The Birth Month Flower of October

September 28, 2009 by Leave a Comment

For someone with a birthday in October (like me) it’s important to feel special. I suppose that’s true of all birthday boys and girls but it’s especially true of Libras and as much so of Scorpios. Rather than focus on zodiac flowers–in case you did that last year–focus instead on the birth month flower of October when looking for a unique birthday gift.

The birth month flower of October is marigold (Calendula) which means that it’s super easy to find flowers to go with such a beautiful bloom. Fall flowers like chocolate cosmos, burgundy pincushion, dahlia, dark colored hydrangea, sunflowers, amaranthus and gloriosa are great with marigold. They give a festive feel to the arrangement and are a breath of fresh flowers…er…air.

If you haven’t already discovered the October birth month flower, talk with your local florist about how you can send arrangements containing marigold or inspired by the delightful colors and textures of it. This will be a unique birthday gift for a special someone and will give you a chance to flex your creative muscles. Go on! Be creative!

Just a side note, the flower meaning of marigold (Calendula) is “desire for riches” so you can also use this as part of the theme of your gift. It’s practically the same as wishing someone good fortune, plus you the golden opportunity to use the most beautiful brown, orange and yellow shades in your arrangement. If your birthday boy or girl isn’t a fan of these colors, play it down a little and add some of their favorites. Reds, greens, dark blues, purples and similar earth-toned hues are striking against other popular fall flowers.

Is It Time For Libra Birthday Gifts Already?

September 18, 2009 by Leave a Comment

My heart is jumping up and down a little because that means that my birthday is just around the corner. I’m on the cusp of Libra and Scorpio but I align myself more with Libras. Libras are an awesome group of people. There are exceptions to every rule but not when we’re concerned. We are all awesome. If you’re a Libra, you’ll understand my passion for this zodiac sign. If not, feel free to let my ramblings elude you and take a peek at this AWESOME birthday gift for Libras.

A Unique Birthday Gift For Libras

If you know someone who was born between September 23rd and October 23rd, you have a Libra’s birthday gift to buy. As always but with growing passion, I recommend flowers. Not just any old flowers though. Give flowers associated with the Libra zodiac sign. Some Libra zodiac flowers are:

Half Dozen Pink Roses

Half Dozen Pink Roses

  • pink roses
  • dahlias
  • gardenias
  • tea roses
  • orchids
  • tuberose
  • freesia
  • gladiolus

They’re all beautiful flowers and many of them are quite fragrant. They strike an easy balance between pleasing both the eyes and the nose. This isn’t just a coincidence. Libras fall under the sign of the scales so finding a balance  in nature is part of our charm.

If you’re in the mood to give a unique birthday gift this year, contact your local florist and ask to send your friend some astrological/zodiac flowers associated with the Libra sign. It’s something they don’t hear often enough and will give them a pleasant change. Watch how their creativity flows when given a fresh idea! You’ll love what comes out of their creative process, but more importantly, your sweetheart/friend will adore them too. Most of all, they’ll adore you!
