Thanksgiving is all about family, and all of us here at the FSN offices took a few minutes today to enjoy a meal with our Flower Shop Network family. It was an afternoon of fun, food and friends, just as it should be. Scroll through for a peek into our glorious feast!
Gathered for food and laughter. Everybody’s having a great time!
The spread. Oh man, that was so good.
Turkey breast, ham and gravy. Can you say, YUM?
Rolls, dressing and a delicious looking tray of dark meat.
Some fantastic looking sides to balance out all that delicious turkey and ham!
Candied yams, deviled eggs and a potato casserole? It just keeps getting better!
It’s a flavor explosion!
Desserts!? Oy. I’ve already eaten so much …
You had me at pie.
Oh my. So many choices, so little time.
I’m not sure what you call them, but they were fantastic!
And that’s the end, folks. Brock says, “Cheers!”
But don’t worry, there’s still plenty more to come before the end of the year. Keep it locked here for Christmas and New Years!
Happy Thanksgiving!
November brings beautiful fall colors, a return to cooler temperatures and the one holiday set aside solely for giving thanks and expressing gratitude. And is there a better way to offer a heartfelt ‘thank you’ than with an elegant floral arrangement? We certainly don’t think so.
So get on the phone, hop on over to our website or just walk down to the shop on the corner, but however you do it, make sure you contact your local florist for amazing Thanksgiving florals!
We had yet another baby shower at the Flower Shop Network offices this week. (Man, there must be something in the water down here.) This time we pulled out the punch for Kylie who works in our administration department. The refreshments were delicious and the gifts were plentiful, so let’s take a look at all the goodies!
Blue punch, blue cake … It’s a BOY!
Beautiful afghan handcrafted by our very own Loranne. Great job!
Knit caps and some comfy-looking onesies. Gotta keep that winter baby warm.
It’s bath time! A baby bather and wonderfully soft towels.
You can never have too many bibs, that’s for sure. Babies go through those like water through a sieve. Or is that juice?
An entire outfit, and looks like it will be big enough to start next winter off the right way.
Will this be grandma’s favorite outfit? Nana, nana, nana, nana … Batman!
It’s hard to tell, but that is a combo crib, playpen and changing table all in one. Wow!
Congratulations Kylie!
We’re not done yet, folks. We’ve got plenty more events scheduled between now and the end of the year. Check back tomorrow for our Thanksgiving feast!
Flowers not only make for amazing decoration, they are also a fantastic way to say thank you. And what else is Thanksgiving Day for if not the giving of thanks to those who’ve helped make our lives better throughout the year? This year, give thanks with the beauty of flowers!
There are floral arrangement possibilities beyond the traditional bouquet, though there’s nothing wrong with an elegant collection of breathtaking flowers gathered in a vase. After all, it became a tradition for a reason. But that’s not all you’ll find when you walk into your corner flower shop. You’ll see a world of creativity and wonder that has been designed and created by your own local flower artists.
Local florists mean face-to-face interaction and the opportunity to buy exactly what you want. This personal touch gives you the freedom to personalize your arrangement, affording you the opportunity to truly be specific to the person you choose. And you’ll never find the same quality, care and attention you get at the corner flower shop anywhere else.
Another great reason to use a local florist? It keeps money in the local economy and helps to ensure they’ll be there the next time you need them!
This Thanksgiving Day, if you want to say thank you in the most beautiful way possible, say thank you with flowers.
Thanksgiving Day, as the name suggests, is a day to give thanks for all the blessings from the past year. What better way to offer thanks to those who’ve given you help and support throughout the year than with a gorgeous floral arrangement?

Enjoy your holiday this year knowing that you properly thanked everyone who deserves appreciation. Give flowers and say all the right words. Use the card messages above or use them to inspire to write your own heartfelt note. Happy Thanksgiving!

Flowers are beautiful at any time of year, and they will be blooming somewhere no matter how cold the temperature gets. With fall weather here in earnest, let’s look at a flower to remind us of warmer climes, the beautiful Dahlia!
The Dahlia is native to Mexico but is also grown throughout Central America. Its roots were used by the Aztecs as a food source, but though European explorers took the dish home, it didn’t catch on. Instead, the beautiful flowers became the only reason European horticulturists had any interest. The tuberous roots are rarely eaten anymore, but the blooms have never lost their luster.
There is no one meaning that encompasses all the dahlia is, and that more than anything else may embody its symbolism. For some, the dahlia expresses dignity and elegance. It can also mean commitment and everlasting bonds, but that’s not all. To others, the dahlia means change, travel or even a warning of impending danger. It is also seen as meaning inner strength, creativity and standing up for what you believe.
So with all those different meanings, when is a good time to gift someone with a dahlia?
It’s perfect for that friend with a bit of a wild side, someone who tempers their adventures with a good heart and good intentions. It can also be given for any of the meanings listed above, it may just be a good idea to verbally express what your intentions were at the outset.
The dahlia is normally available from most flower shops, but as with any specific flower request it’s always a good idea to give the florist time to order some if they don’t carry them in stock. After all, flowers are highly perishable items. But don’t fret. That ordering process normally only takes a couple of days.
So contact your local florist and order a gorgeous arrangement with the always elegant dahlia!
With Thanksgiving Day just around the corner, it’s time to think about how you want your home to look as your family sits down for the Thanksgiving feast. Do you want them to be surrounded by gorgeous fall colors and decorative foliage? Do you want an impressive centerpiece for your table? How about a fall-themed wreath for the door?
All of this and so much more is available when you shop at your local florist!
Florists offer everything you need to make your home a decorative testament to fall. They have flowers and foliage in reds, oranges, yellows and browns that will help your home reflect the theme of the season and the holiday. From beautiful centerpieces worthy of any spread to amazing accent pieces, you can get any or all of it exactly when you need it.
There’s no end to the beauty you can have on display, and all it takes is a visit to your local flower shop!
And if you aren’t holding the feast at your own home, your local florist still has you covered with the perfect host/hostess gift. Who wouldn’t love a gorgeous fall wreath or accent arrangement? They can do most any size wreath you like within reason, and if the theme is less than traditional, they can do them in any color as well.
When you want the best decoration for your Thanksgiving Day feast, contact your local florist!
Now that you’ve decided to buy flowers as a Veteran’s Day gift, you still need to figure out what to put on the card. Read on for five suggestions designed to make your card messaging a breeze!
