Make a Difference Day in San Diego

The fourth Saturday of every October is Make a Difference Day. Celebrated all over the country, this is a day dedicated to serving the local community in some way. It's a great day to get involved in a volunteer project anywhere in San Diego or create your own project that can make a difference in the lives of others. There are even websites to help you find something to do in your local area on Make a Difference Day. Just in San Diego County, there are food drives, car washes, and other volunteer projects that you can join. There are also many listed that can involve your kids so you can get them started early on becoming more socially conscious and service-oriented. Also, there are many Breast Cancer awareness events still going on through the end of October. This is the perfect time to send a flower arrangement and use this simple gesture to make a difference in someone else's life. Or, a gift of a bouquet could recognize an individual or organization that has gone out of their way to help others on Make a Difference Day and every other day in the year. Here are some flower arrangement ideas: PINK POWER This floral design offers green hydrangea as well as pink and fuchsia roses in a gold heart container.

Celebrating Homecoming in San Diego

Homecoming is back again at all San Diego high schools. This is one of those important school memories to make that will last a lifetime. It's fun and a great time to enjoy friendships. Typically a weekend celebration, there is still a lot to do to get ready. While some homecoming dances are formal and require a tuxedo and formal dress, others are semi-formal. Either way, there has to be time spent getting those outfits that are dress to impress. There's also hair to be done and possibly a limo to rent. So many decisions and so little time. That's because there are also homecoming flowers to order, including a corsage and boutonniere. That's where we come to the rescue with our numerous San Diego flower shop locations that offer homecoming flowers for your budget. You can pick up from our San Diego flower shops or have your homecoming flowers delivered. Just be sure to order these as soon as possible as we get very busy during homecoming season. Our homecoming corsages are made with fresh, premium flowers like roses, carnations, and orchids. You can opt for many different available colors. You can also add greenery and other accents like rhinestones and ribbons. Corsages can be wristlet style or pinned. Some of our beautiful homecoming flower options are featured here. We also feature a custom homecoming corsage and custom homecoming boutonniere service. However, you will need to call ahead and schedule an appointment to work with our floral design team. Whatever corsage you select, you can then get a matching boutonniere for your homecoming date. Both can be delivered to your home or separately. We know it's a busy day so it's important to help you out in any way we can.

Celebrating Special October Days and Events

Here in San Diego, we look forward to Fall for many reasons. While the leaves change color, we still enjoy idyllic weather that makes Halloween even better. Beyond this October holiday, we have many other things to celebrate this month alongside all of our customers. This includes special October days like Bosses Day and Bosses Week on October 16th and through the 21st. Then, there is the Sweetest Day on October 21st, which encourages us all to do something sweet for someone else. Then, there is Mother-in-Law Day on October 22nd. Finally, there is Halloween on October 31st. We have some great gift ideas for each of these October special holidays and events that you can share with friends, family, colleagues, and clients in San Diego or that we can send across the country. For Bosses Day and Bosses Week, consider a gift basket that they can enjoy alone or with the team or their family. It's a great gift idea, especially if you are not sure if your boss likes flowers or plants. For the Sweetest Day, you can send chocolates or a sweet flower cube with bright blooms. For example, Sunny San Diego is a mix of bold primary colors in a petite cube. You can also opt for two larger sizes of this stunning bouquet. Then, there is your Mother-in-Law. She may enjoy something a bit more elegant that shows your love and appreciation for all that she does for you. Pacific Beach Perfection delivers that with cayenne roses, hydrangea, orchids, and other luxurious flowers and greenery.
