Your Christmas Guide To Evergreens

December 16, 2015 by Tanya Giraldo Leave a Comment

The holidays are coming up fast and it’s time to put up your last-minute decorations! We put together a quick guide on how you can incorporate these three evergreens into your holiday decor.

If you are looking for the smells and textures of Christmas, then look no further than the three popular holiday greens: Fir, Pine, and Cedar.

Fir

Firs are very fragrant and shiny evergreens with dark green needles. Two popular firs are the Douglas Fir, which has beautiful soft needles, and the Pacific Silver Fir, which have a silvery-white color under its needles.

Pine

Pines are known for their bright green color and long needles. The Princess Pine is popular due to its soft texture. The shore pine has long needles and small pine cones that add to the overall rustic look.

Cedar

The Port Orford Cedar is the most popular of cedars and it is recognized by its long stems and lacy tips. It is also one of the most long-lasting greens. It maintains its vitality and color for many weeks.

If you are looking to incorporate these wonderful evergreens in your holiday decor, head to your local florist for a beautiful holiday design!

5 Reasons To Send: December ’15

December 2, 2015 by Miroslava Casiano Leave a Comment

December is here! Can you believe that? Enjoy time with family and friends, preparing for the year ahead. Here are five reasons to celebrate this month!

1. Letter Writing Day – December 9th

Nowadays, instead of delivering a handwritten letter, we send people text messages and emails. Let’s go back in time and do things the old fashioned way! Write a letter to someone special, let them know how much they mean to you and add a single red rose or a holiday themed bouquet that will give the recipient a huge smile!

2. Poinsettia Day – December 12th

This day is in commemoration of an American botanist called Joel Roberts Poinsett. He was the one to discover the Poinsettia flower in Southern Mexico. This day commemorates his death, but it is also an opportunity to celebrate the flower most commonly associated with Christmas.

3. Look on the Bright Side Day – December 21st

There are times in which something unexpected happens in our lives and it is important to look at the bright side during times like these. Perhaps a relative or friend is going through a tough time and need a reminder that you are thinking of them? Surprise them with an arrangement that will brighten their day.

4. Christmas – December 25th

“It’s the most wonderful time of the year!” Christmas is a time for us to gather with families and friends. Going to a Christmas party? Make sure not to go empty handed! Flowers make a wonderful host gift for any party!

5. New Year’s Eve – December 31st

Where did 2015 go? This is the last day of the year and it is the day that gets us motivated for all the new things in store for us in 2016. One way to start the new year is by sharing love and smiles! Wish a special someone a wonderful new year with a floral bouquet!

This season reminds us the importance of spending time with family and friends. Head to your local florist and share the beauty of flowers with those you love!

5 Reason To Send Flowers: September ’15

September 2, 2015 by Tanya Giraldo Leave a Comment

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. Take time today to hug your boss and show how much you truly appreciate them. An arrangement with bright flowers is a great way to show that appreciation too!

2. Labor Day – September 7th

This holiday is dedicated to all the hardworking people out there! Treat yourself with a beautiful flower arrangement for your home or office. Perhaps share some of the joy that comes with flowers to a hard worker you know. Be the source of their happiness, at least today!

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!

Trending Easter Arrangements

April 1, 2015 by Tanya Giraldo Leave a Comment

With the Easter weekend quickly approaching, we wanted to spotlight these pretty blooms as a perfect hostess gift, Easter gift or floral decor for any of your Easter festivities.

Unique Basket

While Easter baskets filled with goodies are popular for this holiday, consider a basket filled with beautiful florals as well as little gifts. A basket full of blooms will surprise a loved one this sunny holiday.

Spring Bucket

For an arrangement that lasts for the rest of spring, consider these charming blooms in a very colorful bucket. Consider a silver bucket for a rustic edge that can be enjoyed even after Easter.

Lasting Blooms

Instead of gifting something in a basket for Easter, consider beautiful blooms in a pot! A potted plant with gorgeous peace lily’s are perfect to celebrate this holiday and will continue to bring joy year round.

Easter is such a joyous holiday, and a beautiful arrangement for a friend or family member will surprise them on this happy day and put a smile on their face! Contact your local florist today and check back with the Bloomin’ Blog for more great holiday flower ideas!
