Celebrate Fall With Flowers & Autumn Decorations

It’s that time of year to say goodbye to summer and hello to fall or autumn. Whatever you call it, the season officially arrived on September 22 this year. In San Diego, it's often hard to tell when the seasons change, but the weather here does stay mostly sunny with slightly lower morning temps. With it comes stunning new colors and reminders of a new harvest season. There are traditional colors like brown, orange, and yellow. But 2021 fall trends now also include pink, red, and purple. The changing seasons also means the arrival of our favorite fall holidays, including Halloween and Thanksgiving. It's a time to celebrate, dress up, have fun, and spend more time with family. We are so excited to see the return to many San Diego events, including trunk or treats, fall festivals, turkey runs, and more. Along with the return, there are also special celebrations to commemorate as well as events like fall weddings that could all use fall flowers to add that special look. Our fall flower collection has arrived in each of our San Diego flower shop locations along with the ability to order custom fall floral displays. Here are some highlights for this year's fall season: Our fall flower arrangements include floral favorites like lilies, sunflowers, and fall roses in shades of orange, yellow, lavender and pink in unique obtainers. Other floral choices include premium flowers, such as roses and hydrangea in a leaf-lined glass vase. Select from fall flowers arranged in rustic baskets and wood boxes to create cozy fall decor for your home or office or as a gift. We also have hand-wrapped fall bouquets at our San Diego flower shops that are quick and easy to pick up for a last-minute [...]

Sending Flowers is the Best Way to Make Someone’s Day

Making someone else's day feels good. You know you've made someone happy or cheered up a friend or loved one on a tough day. There are many more days to do this in August tied to special days that may inspire you to keep going on this worthwhile effort well past a specific special day. Beyond National Smile Week that we celebrated last week, there are some other special days to add to the calendar. These include Senior Citizen Day on August 21st, Kiss and Make Up Day on August 25th, and Just Because Day on August 27th. This gives you three more opportunities to show others around you that you are thinking of them, especially in times that continue to be challenging or alienating. Even if you cannot spend a lot of time with those around you due to your own hectic schedules or ongoing concern over health issues, you can still plan on calling them, sending a text, or delivering a special gift like flowers to surprise and delight them on these special days. Our San Diego flower shops, including those in El Cajon and La Mesa, and our website are ready to help you surprise those around you with the gift of flowers. This includes our bestsellers collection where you can find a wide range of stunning floral designs that are favorites among our other customers in San Diego. However, we have many other floral options to choose from as well. This includes searching our website by flower type or selecting another category, such as our petite collections or our luxury collection.

Celebrate the New Year with the Best Holiday Decor

I don't think anyone doesn't want this year to be over already. We would like to put 2020 behind us. Never have we looked so forward to a new year, hoping it brings positive change from the challenges of this past year. That gives even more meaning to New Year's Eve celebrations as we ring in a new year with perhaps more enthusiasm than has been seen in many years. We may even want to raise the bar on decorating for our at-home New Year's celebrations. Besides decorating your own home, this may be a good time to shower your loved ones with festive winter decor. The good news is that you can still enjoy the holiday florals and plants you added for Christmas as part of your own New Year's celebrations. You may want to add other fresh winter floral arrangements to celebrate the "new" year. Add some white or cream flowers to your overall design to bring these two celebrations together as you go from on occasion to the next. The week after Christmas and before New Year's is an ideal time to send others some love, including those that might have sent you a present or as part of your annual client gifts that you opt to send to kick off the new year. We still have many beautiful white and blue floral designs that provide an elegant winter floral display for this special occasion. Also, our holiday gift crates are a good idea for clients and loved ones, especially those that come with a bottle of champagne or wine to toast the New Year! These are parties in a box with decor or food to accompany the bottle of your choice. Order by phone or through our [...]

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. Our gift crates, though, offer a unique way to showcase our floral designs and plants like succulents as well as offer items like gourmet food, fresh fruit, and wine or champagne. Now, you can give your Thanksgiving host something to add to the table like a bouquet as well as treat them to a bottle of their favorite red or white wine or champagne. Maybe they will even break it out at the Thanksgiving meal to share! Plus, any of the food items may be ideal for the snacks that come before or after the Thanksgiving meal. Recently, we have introduced some new gift crates that may also make nice host gifts for this year's Thanksgiving. Many feature [...]

Use Autumn Colors and Seasonal Flowers in Your Home This Month

Now that Fall is in full swing here in San Diego -- although you wouldn't know it because of our beautiful summer-like weather -- it's time to turn your home into a fall wonderland for Halloween and beyond. There are so many stunning autumn colors to choose from as the focal point for your seasonal decorating. Here are some floral decorating ideas from our fall collection. Orange Let's start with the color we most associate with fall: Orange. And, you can thank pumpkins for that association! It's great to see that pumpkin patches are back throughout San Diego. The orange hue can also be seen in fall leaves and fall florals. We offer everything from a keepsake pumpkin container filled with fall blooms to bright orange floral designs or fall decor with orange-tinted leaf accents. Cream Of course, with all the bold colors, it's also good to balance that with more demure colors like cream. We also have a pumpkin container in white filled with bright fall flowers with copper accents. You can also go with other elegant floral designs that feature cream and silver, bronze, or copper accents. Yellow The color yellow during fall is best associated with sunflowers, which had warmth and cheer as the weather changes and cools. Choose from a bowl of sunflowers on their own or mix these beauties up with some of our other fall flowers. Burgundy If you are looking for something that adds boldness to a room that may otherwise be untouched by color, consider a floral arrangement with burgundy florals. The deep red adds a dramatic look to any decor. Purple Considered a regal color, purple is not always associated with fall. However, we have made some stunning fall centerpieces, including cornucopias, [...]
