Flowers That Are Like A Vacation In A Vase

By Kevin Kegan on July 2, 2018 in Flowers. 0 Comments

If you're not taking a major vacation this summer, try this hack: get some flowers. Blossom Flower Shops is well aware of the power of a well-arranged floral to establish a mood and create a feeling. But you may not have realized that certain designs, depending on the blooms and greens they use, also have the ability to transport us to different places. By making use of specific flowers and playing with texture, color and shape, we can bring a worldly sensibility into our homes and add character to our space, just as if we had taken a trip somewhere and come back with some mementos that speak to the experience we had.

June is a wonderful time to get married, and as it turns out, many people agree. It is by far the most popular time to get married, owing to its generally temperate climate and the invitation it offers to take some time away from work, to travel and to relax. Everything seems more festive and a bit brighter in June, and the flowers that bloom during this time of year seem to capture the month's spirit, if you ask us here at Blossom Flower Shops. You may be one of the many married couples who has an anniversary coming up this month, or have a couple close to you whose anniversary you would like to remember. And for that, we point you to garden roses. Read More

Father's Day is upon us---well, almost---and this June 17, Blossom Flower Shops thinks you should forget all the usual suspects when it comes to gifts and give your special dad something meaningful and different. It can be hard to shop for fathers, since they're the ones who typically demure when asked what they want. As the standard providers, they aren't often open about the things they desire for themselves. We do our best, but sometimes it feels like it can be difficult to surprise dad. That's about to change.

Memorial Day’s Beautiful Flowers

We plan ahead for Memorial Day. It's a three-day weekend. There are parades and commemorative celebrations. We may take the opportunity to host a special event---a backyard barbecue or a more poignant dinner at home with close friends and family. It's one of those times that we think of as marking the beginning of summer, an occasion that we here at Blossom Flower Shops think is worth celebrating. So while we certainly remember and honor those who died in service to country, we also embrace the people we love, celebrating the long weekend together and looking ahead to a happy, sunny summer.
