Celebrate Creativity on Floral Design Day

There is so much to be said for creativity and what it can do to lift spirits, motivate people, and create joy. One group of artists that we celebrate each year are floral designers. Our floral designers are everything to us here in San Diego. We love them and what they do so much because we see what they are able to do for the recipients of their artwork. About Floral Design Day Floral Design Day was created by Carl Rittner, the founder of the Rittners School of Floral Design in Boston. He was considered to be a pioneer in floral art education. While he started the initiative, it was Governor William Weld of Massachusetts that created the day in 1995. National Floral Design Day was then established on February 28th as a way to recognize the art of floral design and appreciate its history. Across cultures and time, floral design has been considered to be an important cultural art form. Celebrating Floral Design Day In celebrating it, our San Diego flower shops recognize and reward our floral design teams. We appreciate that many customers also drop by or send messages to our floral designers, too, not to mention come by for a bouquet or order online. We can also celebrate Floral Design Day through painting, planting flowers, using floral motifs in textiles or other mediums, and creating a bouquet. It may even involve taking a floral design class to understand the depth of artistry that goes into this craft. You can also use social media to share awareness about Floral Design Day, including using the hashtag, #FloralDesignDay, and sharing your favorite floral design pictures. San Diego's Most Experienced Floral Designers We believe that our San Diego flower shops have the [...]

Gift Crates are Perfect Idea for Thanksgiving Host

If you are not hosting Thanksgiving this year but are going to a nearby friend or family member's house, it's always a good idea to bring along a gift for the Thanksgiving host that says thank you for the invite and hospitality. After all, a lot of work goes into preparing the Thanksgiving feast and table. And, with all the changes this year in terms of safety precautions for family and social gatherings, the Thanksgiving host may have fewer people on hand to help out. There are many types of Thanksgiving host gifts to consider. Think about what you know about your host, including their preferences and personality. The most personalized gifts mean the most because the host will know you put a lot of thought into what you got for them. Your favorite San Diego florist is here to help with many different gift crates that are ideal as a Thanksgiving host gift. The gift crates are similar to gift baskets in that they offer many types of gifts in one package.
