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 [...]

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.

Pay Tribute to Those Who Served in the Armed Forces on Veterans Day
Veterans Day is November 11th. It's a special day where we stop and reflect as well as honor those who have served in the Armed Forces. Whether it is the Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines, or Coast Guard, these men and women deserve a whole-hearted tribute and recognition for being on the front lines and defending the freedoms and rights of our country. Even if they are no longer with us, these veterans should be remembered for their service. Throughout Rome, Georgia and Cedartown, Georgia, we are honoring our veterans on this Veterans Day. Although we may not be able to have the same parades and public events that we have done in the past, there are many ways to thank our veterans. First, call and thank the veterans you know. If possible, stop by and let them know you appreciate them. If either of those options isn't possible, you can also send a letter to them. Or, you can organize a drive-by parade of a veteran's house so they can have their own personal parade! Second, if these veterans have passed away, then perhaps it is possible to visit their graves and leave them a bouquet of patriotic flowers to show your tribute to them. You may be also to host them at your house if they are family or friends. It's good to [...]
