Summer Flower Trends
Summer flowers are in full bloom and so are new summer floral trends that shape our collections for gifts and decor.

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.

Sympathy Flowers are a Beautiful Way to Show Your Love
The past few months have been challenging in so many ways. One of the most difficult aspects has been dealing with tremendous loss -- whether COVID-19-related or not -- without the ability to gather together and support each other through the grief. Instead, we have not been able to hold funerals or say good-bye in the ways we are accustomed to. However, everyone has proved resilient. We have found other ways to still comfort each other through Zoom memorials, calls, and messages of hope. Giving to a crowdfunding campaign or charity in the name of the lost loved one or family is another option to show your sympathy during this tough time. Another way to show friends and family that you love and support them during their time of loss is to send sympathy flowers. Sending a floral gift is often a good way to get your message across without necessarily having to find the right words to express how you feel. That's because the flowers say it for you through their beauty. They offer love, hope, and cheer all in one package. We offer many ways to express that sympathy. You can send fireside sympathy baskets that are filled with flowers and greenery in a keepsake basket. Or, you can opt for a bouquet or flower arrangement in various sizes and colors. During this [...]
