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.

Celebrating Good Neighbor Day in San Diego on September 28th

September 28th is National Good Neighbor Day. Each year, it is held on this date as a way to recognize the importance of forming relationships with those around us. It's good for the human connection as well as for building community and keeping neighborhoods safe and in good shape. Many people have become friends with their neighbors, enjoying cookouts together and events like block parties. Kids grow up and go to school together. It's what ties us together. And, it's more important than ever because we are losing some of that human connection by focusing on online friendships and relationships. Unfortunately, since people move so often and the recession in recent years has led to the loss of homes not to mention many people often commute, getting to know our neighbors doesn't happen as much as it should. This is an opportunity to knock on a neighbor's door and introduce yourself. It might even be good to deliver a small gift so they know how you much you appreciate them -- that they keep an eye on the house while you are away or help keep the area looking nice. Here are some gift ideas for Good Neighbor Day that we can deliver from any of our San Diego flower shop locations: DEL MAR SUNSET This stunning compact flower arrangement features roses, tulips, lilies, and hydrangea are arranged in a leaf-lined glass vase. CORONADO SUNSET Majestic roses, sunflowers, hydrangea, and scabiosa are combined with bark and seasonal greenery in a leaf-lined vase. LA JOLLA SUNSET This sublime bouquet offers Asiatic lilies, button chrysanthemums, roses, and alstroemeria in various shades of orange and yellow. LAVENDER ROSE GARDEN This elegant rose arrangement includes varieties of lavender and purple roses in a pave style set within a clear [...]
