Fall Floral Trends

Fall officially arrived on September 22nd, but our amazing floral design team has been working for many weeks to put together a new fall collection that reflects the current fall floral trends. New Fall Colors When it comes to fall, we all think of hues like burnt orange, burgundy, yellow, and brown. These are wonderfully warm and rich ways to honor autumn. However, a recent fall floral trend has been to mix the colors up with pinks and purples. This offers a bright and cheerful blend and new visual experience for fall centerpieces, bouquets, and flower arrangements. Botanical Fall Floral Design The botanical floral design continues to be popular into the fall season. This floral design emphasizes greenery and unique green accents like kale, artichokes, and more. Our Woodland Splendor is a good example of this lush floral design. Rustic Fall Motifs Of course we still have all those favorite fall accents and symbols like pumpkins along with rustic styles that incorporate burlap, wood boxes, and more. We also offer numerous cornucopias that serve as centerpieces or fall decor for your home. These are available in different floral styles and color combinations. Fall Plants and Gift Crates We also offer seasonal plants -- some offered in unique ceramic pumpkin containers -- and garden arrangements plus have added some great fall gift crates along with Halloween-themed gifts. Order Today! Visit our San Diego flower shops to order fall flowers, plants, and gifts. Or, you can call us or use our website order form. Pickup your orders here at our San Diego florist locations or ask for contactless delivery.

Best Plants For Indoor Decorating

At our San Diego flower shops, we also love our plants. While there are many flowers, there seems to be an endless variety of plants to enjoy, including green, exotic, and blooming plants. The third week of September is National Indoor Plant Week. This is a great opportunity to add more greenery to your home. There are numerous types of green plants that you can add to the interior of your home that adds color and interest as well as contributes to purifying the air. In our San Diego flower shop and our website, we have a wide selection of green plants for indoor decorating. Here are some ideas for your home: ZZ plant Pothos Lemon-lime dracaena Dieffenbachia Spathiphylum (also known as the peace lily) Jade plant Sansevieria Croton Chinese evergreen All of these green plants require minimal care, including indirect light as well as minimal fertilizer and water. This makes them easy to keep for months and even years to come! These are just some of the examples of what our San Diego flower shops offer. Stop by or call us for any other green plant options that we may have available. Another popular indoor green plant in recent years is the succulent. They are the longest lasting of the green plants and offer such a diverse range of types, including texture, size, shape, and color. Most often, different succulents are combined to create a garden for a beautiful decor item. Green plants also make great gifts since these are so easy to care for, including giving them to teachers, as a birthday present, or a welcome to the neighborhood gift for a new neighbor. We offer in-store and curbside pickup as well as contactless delivery throughout San Diego. Call [...]
