Make a Holiday Statement with a Floral Centerpiece

This holiday season, may a statement that really shines with Bussey's flowers and centerpieces for Christmas and New Year's! With the likelihood of having to celebrate all these special occasions from the safety of our homes, this is the year to add more decor than ever before. A centerpiece is a good place to start with decorating as it tends to be a focal point because of its position on the holiday table. However, centerpieces can also be placed on other tables throughout your home -- in a four or a social space like a gathering room. While you may prefer a holiday centerpiece with candles for the dining table to provide some mood lighting, your other holiday centerpieces can provide a rustic or elegant look without candles. For example, you may want to add a unique centerpiece for the living room or foyer that has a botanic flair with fruit and a lot of greenery. Our other holiday floral displays also brighten a home, including compact cube vase arrangements that can be lined up on a long dining table or used for various smaller tables. For example,  we have many stunning white flower arrangements perfect for a New Year's celebration. These cargo from elegant in bubble bowls to down-home rustic in handmade wood boxes. These flower arrangements also work well from Christmas through the New Year's holiday. Many of our customers have asked us if we are still offering custom holiday flower designs, and the answer is "yes." We understand that you may want to customize or personalize your floral display for the holidays. We are here to help. Just call us and you can meet with one or more of our floral design team to create custom Christmas centerpieces or custom New Year's bouquets. We are open at [...]

Remember All Those Who Helped This Year with Special Holiday Gifts

While our Christmas gift list most often focuses on friends and family as well as clients if we run our own business, there are many other special people in our lives that we may want to thank this year: A frontline worker who helped us or someone we know Teachers struggling through the remote process and helping our kids Service personnel like the mail person, the gardener, and pool technician Colleagues New and old neighbors There may even be others that provided you some type of help, and this year is one of the best times to show your appreciation. After all, everyone has -- or is -- struggling, and they could do with something that is sure to make them smile. If you are not sure what type of gift best expresses that appreciation, here are some ideas where we can help safely deliver some of your generosity. With the holidays fast approaching, giving them some Christmas spirit is one great gift idea.

Celebrating Poinsettia Day on December 12th

Poinsettia Day is this Saturday, December 12th. Each year, this holiday occasion is celebrated on December 12th. As a long-treasured symbol of Christmas, the poinsettia plant offers a bright and cheerful way to decorate for the holidays or give a special gift to someone in your life. In 2002, Congress made National Poinsettia Day official, recognizing the work that Paul Ecke, the founder of America's poinsettia industry, had done. Before that, though, the poinsettia plant has had a long history of being used and shared, all the way back to the 1300s when the Aztecs used the flowers for making red dye. Now, Poinsettia Day is more about recognizing this beautiful flowering plant and giving it others during the holiday season. Besides gifting the poinsettia plant and using it as part of your own holiday decor, there are other fun ways to make the most of Poinsettia Day. Make Poinsettia Art This is a particularly fun activity to do if you have kids. But, even as adults, you may enjoy this type of activity, which also provides a way to add more Christmas decor to your home. Use available materials like construction paper or other items to make poinsettia ornaments for the Christmas tree or art to hang on the walls made from tissue paper, markers, and more. If you have certain hobbies,, you could even make a stained glass poinsettia or other similar item. Visit Local Gardens A botanical garden often puts on a holiday display during this time that features poinsettias. It's a great time to get outdoors and enjoy the fresh air and beautiful creations of nature. Create a Poinsettia Punch Offer up a refreshing drink on Poinsettia Day known as Poinsettia Punch,  which contains 14 ounces of cranberry juice, 20 ounces of ginger ale, and a [...]

Summer Flower Trends

Summer flowers are in full bloom and so are new summer floral trends that shape our collections for gifts and decor. While our floral designers also like to create from their imagination, they do recognize the inspiration that trends play in their work. We also want to make sure we offer the trending floral looks that you, our customers, are looking to have at a celebration, in your home or office, or as a gift to a special someone in your life. Here are some of the summer floral trends we currently see: Botanicals Most floral arrangements feature mostly flowers and a few greenery accents. A botanical floral designs flips that around and features considerable greenery. On top of that, it's not your typical greenery. Instead, it's ornamental kale, artichokes, and more. This creates a lush and very artistic floral display. Sunflowers We don't think sunflowers ever go off-trend. They continue to be a crowd favorite. Their large bold blooms really make a statement on their own or as part of a bouquet with many other flowers.  Sunflowers also reflect the sun that makes summertime so sizzling. Bold Colors Many floral designs feature a punch of color with other subtle shades. This summer, however, it's about getting as bright and bold as possible by using all bold hues. Garden Style The garden style, just-picked look is also a favorite. It offers a rustic and casual feel that adds comfort to a home or office setting. Believe it or not, it still takes considerable time to place the flowers in a way that looks like they just came from the garden. Room For Pastels Despite the go bold or go home looks this summer, many customers still seek pastels and muted tones that offer a soft, calming feel. These often feature [...]
