Add Fall Flowers to Your Halloween Parties and Events

What are your plans for Halloween this Friday, October 31st? Our San Diego flower shops will be open and ready to see all the great costumes and celebrate all the festivities that our local area offers. If you are planning a Halloween party or just want to make your house more festive for the fall season, we have the floral décor, floral centerpieces, and flower arrangements to get you ready. Ideas for Halloween Floral Decorating Try these ideas to get your house ready for Halloween and even carry many over to enjoy through Thanksgiving: Wreaths and garlands work just as well during fall holidays as they do at Christmas. They can be made from fall flowers, leaves, and greenery to create a festive and very warm feel to the home. Use decorative containers and accents with the flower decorations for Halloween. This can include using carved out pumpkins or ceramic pumpkins as well as milk crates, baskets, and a witch’s caldron. Use dried flowers in bunches tied with raffia and display them with scarecrows. Add blooming plants around the house or office in seasonal fall colors to add texture and interest.

Homecoming Corsages and Boutonnieres for San Diego Students

It’s that time of year again for homecoming weekend with the big game and a special dance throughout San Diego County at all private high schools and public high schools. Our floral design team at each of our three San Diego flower shop locations can help you design the perfect homecoming corsage and homecoming boutonniere. As San Diego’s favorite florist five years in a row, we are here to help with all types of homecoming flowers, colors, and prices to suit all styles, preferences, and budgets. Plus, if you don’t see something that complements your dress and tuxedo, we can custom create a homecoming corsage or homecoming boutonniere for you. San Diego Homecoming Corsages There is a homecoming corsage for every dress, including traditional roses in a rainbow of colors to more contemporary corsages that include orchids or carnations. Our floral design team also has many types of fasteners that add to the look of the homecoming corsage, including bracelets with rhinestones and ribbons. Besides wrist corsages, you can also have a corsage to pin to your dress if you prefer that style. Always select a homecoming corsage that complements your dress. You don’t want to have a corsage in a color that matches your dress because the natural beauty of the homecoming corsage will get lost. Instead, pick something that is from a similar color palette or creates a contrast to the homecoming gown. San Diego Homecoming Boutonnieres When you pick out a homecoming corsage, be sure to get the homecoming boutonniere at the same time since it should be in the same style, color, and flower variety to complement the homecoming corsage. Often, these are ordered together rather than separately so students can come in with their parents and [...]
