Fathers day flowers

September 9, 2008

Fathers Day is celebrated all over the world to appreciate fathers. Fathers who have worked hard to provide for his children.

To show our appreciation, surprise your father with a fathers day flower arrangement.

Although flowers are associated with women mostly, but there are types of flowers that are suitable for men, too.

Flowers that have strong characteristics are suitable to give on fathers day. It is because of their boldness and distinctive characteristics that represent the masculineness of fathers.

Flowers like banksia, bird of paradise, heliconia, protea and ginger make their own statement in an arrangement. Sunflowers and pincusshions are a good choice, too.

A fathers day arrangement should have striking colors, like red or orange. Avoid from choosing soft colors as they show feminism.

Apart from striking colors, the arrangement can have clear strong lines and texture.

Below are examples of such arrangements.

 

 

  • Grand Tropical Arrangement
    All the distinctive tropical flowers come together in this arrangement, making it a grand one. Needless to say more.

 

 

  • Sunny Sunflower Arrangement
    Something bright and cheerful for your father. The big size of the sunflower can easily be interpreted as strength.

 

 

  • Glameria Rose Arrangement
    Glamerias are usually associated with bridal bouquets but here it is used in an arrangement. The glameria in the arrangement stands out and can signify dominance.

Mothers Day Flower

September 9, 2008

In most countries, mothers day is celebrated on the second Sunday of May.

It is a day to appreciate mothers all around the world and flowers can say it all. Different flowers may have different meaning but whoever receives them will surely smile the whole day.

Around Mother’s Day, florists get busy. Taking orders, make sure flower stock is sufficient to meet the demand of the market.

While some arrangements arrive on time, some do not. Simply because they could not cope with the huge number of orders.

And that’s why it is also a wise idea to make your own mothers day flower arrangement. Very personal and comes from the heart.

If you don’t know what type of arrangement to give, below are some ideas that you could use.

But always remember, your feelings show in your arrangement and the same case here.

Show how much you appreciate your mother, for all that she has done for you, pour those feelings in your arrangement and it will turn out beautifully.

 

Here are some ideas that you could use to give your mother a mothers day flower arrangement.

 

  • A basket arrangement of flowers that looked like they were just picked from the garden. She would certainly love to receive this.

 

 

  • Why not give her a flower decoration for the home? Make a wreath of fresh flowers that could be hanged on the door. Not a bad idea.

 

 

  • A small and cute arrangement in a vase that could be used to make the kitchen look ‘fresh’.

 

 

  • The most common gift on mothers day is of course a beautiful hand bouquet of roses.

 

As always, a beautiful gift will make your mother happy, but what makes her really happy is that you are thoughtful of her to send her a token of appreciation.

Happy Mother’s Day!

Garden Wedding Flowers

September 9, 2008

Many brides dream of having a garden wedding.

How very romantic to walk down a lovely rose petal carpeted aisle with the sunshine matching your radiance as you glide into the arms of your beloved to begin your life as one.

While the dress is the focal point to highlight the bride, the flowers pull the whole mood together. The flowers in a wedding carry the theme and lend a romantic, elegant touch to your special day. Garden wedding flowers can add a delicate, simple touch to your wedding, or create sophisticated drama. It is all in the flower.

Most likely, if you are having a garden wedding, it will occur during the warmer months of the year. Depending on the region, some climates are warm and dry while others are hot and humid. You have to take this into consideration when selecting your garden wedding flowers.

Calla lilies, for instance, tend to wilt in about four hours. Roses, on the other hand, stand up much better to the unique conditions that the great outdoors provides.

Princess orchids are another favorite garden wedding flower. Baby’s breath and ferns are nice fillers as well with the roses or orchids being the focal point.

Of course, dried flowers or silk flowers are always an option. While the bridal bouquet is often what we think of first when we think of wedding flowers, that is, by far, not the only arrangement that is needed.

Depending on the formality of the wedding, there are many arrangements that are needed such as bouquets for the bridal party, boutonnières, centerpieces, the flower girl’s basket, corsages for the mother of the bride and the mother of the groom, a throw away bouquet, flowers for the cake topper and flowers to mark the seating for the bride’s family and the groom’s family.

The list can even go on from there. As the bride, you may want flowers in your hair or you may want your flower girl to drop rose petals down the aisle.

Long stem roses tied with a ribbon are considered the garden wedding look. Perhaps add a few baby’s breaths to add some romance.  However, a single rose is very elegant and quite romantic.

It is important that your flowers and plants not be exposed to too much heat and sun prior to the start of the wedding.

Keep in mind that wild flowers tend to wilt faster than flowers from a florist. For instance, fruit tree blossoms should be avoided unless you can give them the special pre-care that they require.

The best way to keep your garden wedding flowers looking fresh is to keep them in water. You can use water picks on the ends of the flowers’ stems or keep them in water, out of the sun until the very last minute.

You should also keep your arrangements out of the sun and try to appoint someone whose sole duty it is to make sure that all the flowers have plenty of water at all times.

That person can also be in charge of putting the flowers out just before the ceremony begins. This way your flowers will be perky longer.

If you are having your wedding in an actual garden, you need to do a little research so that you know what types of flowers will be blooming at the time of your wedding.

You should keep in mind that though you may have selected a special date to coincide with the peak blooming time of certain flowers or of that garden, you should always have a back up plan.

Be ready to provide your own flowers and plants in the event that the season does not yield the blooms that you anticipated.

Also, you may not want to have the site of your wedding under trees that are pollinating because this can stain clothing and chairs as well as attract even more insects, namely bees.

Garden weddings are beautiful and give your special day a simple, traditional, touch of country.

Your garden wedding flowers, when well planned for, will give you a beautiful wedding that you will cherish always.

Funeral Flowers

July 8, 2008

Flowers are for all occasions. Every occasion calls for specific types of flowers. For happy occasions there are the brightly colored flowers like daffodils, roses or tulips. Funerals are solemn occasions and hence, funeral flowers should be specially suited to the solemnity of the occasion.

Funeral flowers are always of light pastel shade expressing sympathy and sorrow. Flowers are the best of nature’s gifts. So, funeral flowers are the best way to bid adieu to the dead and make the dead person’s journey to the next life a fragrant one. Funeral is a very emotional moment in a person’s life. No material gift can express sorrow as well as flowers do. So the funeral flowers should be such, so as to express sympathy and support. Funeral flower is the ideal way to express to the family of the deceased that you care.

Funeral FlowersSome of the common funeral flowers are lilies, daisies, white or yellow roses and even white lotus. White calla lilies are also very popular as funeral flowers. They tend to carry a sense of purity and divinity. Funeral Flowers are an important part of church ceremonies. In fact, every religion has some custom related to funeral flowers.

Funeral wreaths are a very significant part of funeral flowers. There are no fixed floral arrangements for funerals. Fresh flowers, expressing the purity of emotion are good enough. Some of the common shapes of funeral flower arrangements are crosses, hearts and spheres. If the person deceased is a young person then usually small silver angels, crosses or even bunnies are offered along with the funeral flowers.

White funeral flowers can be used to drape coffins. A beautiful bouquet made of funeral flowers sent to the family of the dead is always appreciated. It tends to symbolize that their friends are with them in this difficult moment.
