Make St. Patrick’s Day a Lucky Day with a Green Bouquet

St. Patrick's Day arrives on March 17th. It's a celebratory day with roots in Ireland, but that doesn't mean you need to be Irish to celebrate this day and enjoy the fun. It's a fun-filled day with traditional fare like corned beef and cabbage and maybe even a green beer or two. Because it's originally an Irish celebration, St. Patrick's Day involves a lot of green, including green clothing and green decor for your home. After all, everyone wants the luck of the Irish to rub off on them.

Our San Diego flower shops and website offer you a wide range of ways to make St. Patrick's Day a lucky day for yourself and others. Our green floral designs include many styles and sizes, such as modern, botanical, and tropical. The wide selection of styles means there is something for everyone so they can celebrate St. Patrick's Day in style. You can also contact our floral designers to order a custom bouquet or custom arrangement for St. Patrick's Day that offers a truly unique gift on this day of green.

Celebrate Creativity on Floral Design Day

There is so much to be said for creativity and what it can do to lift spirits, motivate people, and create joy. One group of artists that we celebrate each year are floral designers. Our floral designers are everything to us here in San Diego. We love them and what they do so much because we see what they are able to do for the recipients of their artwork. About Floral Design Day Floral Design Day was created by Carl Rittner, the founder of the Rittners School of Floral Design in Boston. He was considered to be a pioneer in floral art education. While he started the initiative, it was Governor William Weld of Massachusetts that created the day in 1995. National Floral Design Day was then established on February 28th as a way to recognize the art of floral design and appreciate its history. Across cultures and time, floral design has been considered to be an important cultural art form. Celebrating Floral Design Day In celebrating it, our San Diego flower shops recognize and reward our floral design teams. We appreciate that many customers also drop by or send messages to our floral designers, too, not to mention come by for a bouquet or order online. We can also celebrate Floral Design Day through painting, planting flowers, using floral motifs in textiles or other mediums, and creating a bouquet. It may even involve taking a floral design class to understand the depth of artistry that goes into this craft. You can also use social media to share awareness about Floral Design Day, including using the hashtag, #FloralDesignDay, and sharing your favorite floral design pictures. San Diego's Most Experienced Floral Designers We believe that our San Diego flower shops have the [...]

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.
