Christmas

<div class="entry-content bla">
<p><a href="http://www.frenchflorist.com/flowers/christmas-holiday/centerpieces-flowers-gifts-los-angeles/"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-515" src="https://flowermanager.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/9/2015/11/deckhalls-rustic-social.gif" alt="holiday decor" width="620" height="300" loading="lazy" /></a>Now that Thanksgiving is behind us, and the Black Friday mayhem is over, it's time to turn our attention to decorating our homes, offices, businesses, and other special places for the holidays. At <a href="http://www.frenchflorist.com/">French Florist</a>, we believe that the holidays are all about creating special family memories. We all grew up with family traditions, and now, you may want to adopt those or possibly create your family traditions to share with your children.</p>
<h2>Decorating for Hanukkah</h2>
<p>Hanukkah starts at sundown on Sunday night, December 6. It continues through sundown on December 14th. The Jewish festival of lights is a festive occasion for Jews, and the decorating differs significantly from typical Christmas decor. Traditional Hanukkah colors are blue and white. Our <a href="http://www.frenchflorist.com/product.cfm?iteID=2928">'Festival of Lights' </a>arrangement will light up any room. The cobalt-blue colored cube vase is filled with irises, lilies, hydrangeas, delphinium, and larkspur. It's the perfect accent for a small space in any home.</p>
<p><strong>Floral Arrangements That Are Designed Around Keepsake Containers</strong></p>
<p>There's something very special about decorating your home with flowers, especially when the container is a festive holiday keepsake.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.frenchflorist.com/product.cfm?iteID=2805">A Spode Christmas Tree Bowl</a> is a delightful keepsake with cut out holly leaves and a gorgeous handpainted Christmas tree. We anchor two tall red taper candles in the center of the arrangement. We offer two versions, one with red carnations and white mums, another with velvety red <a href="https://www.frenchflorist.com/flowers/roses/">roses</a> and white dendrobium orchids. We add pine cones and sprigs of evergreen to bring in that fresh Christmas fragrance into your home. This bowl is the perfect centerpiece for a table or a focal point for a mantel.</p>
<p>An exclusive to <a href="http://www.frenchflorist.com/flowers/christmas-holiday/centerpieces-flowers-gifts-los-angeles/">French Florist</a>, <a href="http://www.frenchflorist.com/product.cfm?iteID=2522">'A Fitz and Floyd's Snowy Sleigh Ride'</a> is our limited collector's edition keepsake that we fill with white dendrobium orchids, white lilies, pine cones, decorative shiny gold ornaments, red berries, and fragrant pine boughs.</p>
<p>Don't wait to decorate for the holidays. Our lovely keepsakes are the ideal way to add a touch of elegance to your home or workplace.&nbsp;<span class="s1">They're also ideal for people who reside in assisted living or other facilities.</span> The holidays are all about gathering with loved ones, friends, neighbors, coworkers and people from your community. Make those memories extra special with holiday keepsakes and floral arrangements.</p>

WHY IS IT GREAT TO HAVE FRESH FLOWERS AROUND THE HOUSE?

Tips & Tricks

<div class="entry-content bla">
<p>Valentine's Day is a day of romance throughout much of the world. Although most people think of it as a day for sending flowers, there are many other ways people show their love and affection for the important people in their lives. Cards are a big part of that. Every year, roughly one billion Valentine's Day cards are exchanged among people throughout the United States. It is a bigger card giving holiday than Christmas.</p>
<p><strong>Interesting Valentine's Day Trivia</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Women buy 85 percent of the cards that are sent or given on Valentine's Day.</li>
<li>Teachers receive the most cards, followed by children, mothers, wives, sweethearts, and even pets. Parents receive one out of every five Valentines that are sent.</li>
<li>Valentine's Day and Mother's Day are the two biggest holidays for giving flowers as gifts.</li>
<li>Most of the <a href="https://www.frenchflorist.com/flowers/roses/">roses</a> sold on Valentine's Day are grown in South America.</li>
<li>60 percent of American roses are grown in California.</li>
<li>Florists and other retailers will sell and deliver nearly 110 million roses during the three-day period surrounding Valentine's Day.</li>
<li>Close to 3/4 of the people who buy flowers on Valentine's Day are men. Women account for just over 1/4 of the flower sales on that day.</li>
<li>Sometime during the 19<sup>th</sup>&nbsp;century, Richard Cadbury (of Cadbury chocolate,) invented the first box for Valentine's Day candies.</li>
</ul>
<p>Although people typically think of Valentine's Day as a holiday on which to give flowers as a gift, there is no reason people can't give other things as gifts, or create their own combination of flowers, chocolate or countless other things. The idea is to show someone you love, just how much you love them. You can also send gifts to show respect or admiration.</p>
<p><strong>Sending a Message Through Your Gift Choice</strong></p>
<p>We recommend you give a loved one the&nbsp;<a href="http://www.frenchflorist.com/flowers/calla-lilies-roses-hydrangea" data-cke-saved-href="http://www.frenchflorist.com/flowers/calla-lilies-roses-hydrangea">Reflections bouquet</a>, the pure white Hydrangea, roses and calla lilies tell your beloved that they are beautiful, you see them as innocent and secretive, and you appreciate their understanding.</p>
<p>If you want to pull out all the stops and really do something spectacular,&nbsp;lavish your special someone with a bouquet that will leave them breathless' the Lux Valentine Roses Arrangement! Choose between 36, 48 or 60 Silky red 24-inch premium long-stemmed roses to offer a message of passionate love and affection! Arranged amongst a bed of white hydrangea blooms and elegantly accented with clusters of green hypericum berries in a superior clear glass pillow vase, this luxurious bouquet will undoubtedly leave a lasting impression!</p>

<div class="entry-content bla"><img class="attachment-690x342 size-690x342 wp-post-image" src="https://frenchfloristblog.flowermanager.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/9/2020/08/GF-FM4-Bold-Late-Summer-Beauties-Blog-768x381.jpg" sizes="(max-width: 690px) 100vw, 690px" srcset="https://frenchfloristblog.flowermanager.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/9/2020/08/GF-FM4-Bold-Late-Summer-Beauties-Blog-768x381.jpg 768w, https://frenchfloristblog.flowermanager.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/9/2020/08/GF-FM4-Bold-Late-Summer-Beauties-Blog-300x149.jpg 300w, https://frenchfloristblog.flowermanager.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/9/2020/08/GF-FM4-Bold-Late-Summer-Beauties-Blog-500x248.jpg 500w, https://frenchfloristblog.flowermanager.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/9/2020/08/GF-FM4-Bold-Late-Summer-Beauties-Blog.jpg 1200w" alt="Fragrant Flowers" width="690" height="342" loading="lazy" />
<p>Fresh flowers are one of the best things to gift someone due to their striking beauty, delicate and intriguing textures, wide array of vibrant colors, and wonderful aromas. Many flowers have sweet, lovely, and intoxicating scents. If you'd like to include some fragrant flowers in the next bouquet you send, we've highlighted the top smelling florals for you so they can experience a gift that delights their sense of smell as well as their sense of sight.<strong>&nbsp;</strong></p>
<h2><strong>Best-Smelling Flowers</strong></h2>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><a href="https://flowermanager.net/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/ePink-and-Purple-Hyacinth.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-6789 alignnone" src="https://flowermanager.net/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/ePink-and-Purple-Hyacinth-300x225.jpg" alt="Pink and Purple Hyacinth" width="300" height="225" loading="lazy" /></a></p>
<h3><strong>Hyacinth</strong></h3>
<p>These highly fragrant flowers are known for having an earthy and sweet scent. Composed of 4-6 reflexed petals, hyacinth flowers bloom in dense clusters of various colors like pink, red, purple, white, orange, and blue. Its aroma develops as the bud blooms, starting out as lightly floral and becoming more intense and heady as it opens. The scent is so sweet that it deters pests and animals drawn to its bright colors. A wonderful pick-me-up for anybody who loves sweet aromas, the hyacinth is a fabulous flower that enhances any bouquet.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><a href="https://flowermanager.net/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/eFreesia-Flowers.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-6784 alignnone" src="https://flowermanager.net/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/eFreesia-Flowers-300x225.jpg" alt="Freesia Flowers" width="300" height="225" loading="lazy" /></a></p>
<h3><strong>Freesia</strong></h3>
<p>Freesias grow in a variety of colors and have a sweet, fruity scent. A beautiful trumpet-shaped flower with delicate leaves, freesia is a wonderful way to bring a natural, sweet smell to any home.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><a href="https://flowermanager.net/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/eColorful-Roses.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-6783 alignnone" src="https://flowermanager.net/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/eColorful-Roses-300x225.jpg" alt="Colorful Roses" width="300" height="225" loading="lazy" /></a></p>
<h3><strong>Rose</strong></h3>
<p>Known the world over for its beauty and its intoxicating scent, <a href="https://www.frenchflorist.com/flowers/roses/">roses</a> make a wonderful addition to any bouquet you want to be 'scent-sual.'&nbsp; There are, however, different types of fragrances roses can have due to their genetic make-up, growing conditions, and age. For example, darker colored roses have a stronger fragrance than lighter-colored ones. Also, the smell of a rose as a bud is different from when the rose is fully opened, and the rose's fragrance intensifies when the weather is warm and humid. Smelling roses is considered relaxing and restorative as it makes us take a moment and breathe deeply and slowly to enjoy its pleasing aromatic notes.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><a href="https://flowermanager.net/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/ePale-Pink-Peonies.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-6787 alignnone" src="https://flowermanager.net/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/ePale-Pink-Peonies-300x225.jpg" alt="Pale Pink Peonies" width="300" height="225" loading="lazy" /></a></p>
<h3><strong>Peony</strong></h3>
<p>Peonies bloom only for a short period of time, but when they do, these lush, full blooms emit a fresh, sweet fragrance that can fill a room with their wonderful aroma. Peonies come in an assortment of pleasing colors such as pink, white, lavender, and magenta. Pink and white double peonies tend to be the most fragrant while single peonies do not have a scent. With over 40 different species of peonies, their scent can range from sweet and fresh to citrusy and spicy, like ginger.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><a href="https://flowermanager.net/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/eSweet-Pea.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-6792 alignnone" src="https://flowermanager.net/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/eSweet-Pea-300x225.jpg" alt="Sweet Pea" width="300" height="225" loading="lazy" /></a></p>
<h3><strong>Sweet Pea</strong></h3>
<p>The delicate, pleasing aroma of the Sweet Pea is what makes it a favorite of soaps, perfumes, and lotions. Sweet and gentle, this a flower that pairs well with other scented florals. With thin, fragile petals that make up a small bloom, the scent of the Sweet Pea more than makes up for its size. This is a flower that adds a wonderful pop of color and pleasing fragrance to any arrangement.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><a href="https://flowermanager.net/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/eStargazer-Lily-scaled.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-6791 alignnone" src="https://flowermanager.net/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/eStargazer-Lily-300x225.jpg" alt="Stargazer Lily" width="300" height="225" loading="lazy" /></a></p>
<h3><strong>Lily</strong></h3>
<p>Lilies come in a range of no smell, light, and pleasant smelling, to overwhelmingly fragrant and perfumey. Starfighter lilies have the strongest scent which is described as sweet and tropical, which goes nicely with this bloom's rich pink color. Sonata lilies have more of a light, citrusy fragrance which is more subtle and delicate. Rose Lilies, known more for their dramatic look, offer just a hint of a delightful smell.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><a href="https://flowermanager.net/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/eLavender-Flowers-scaled.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-6785 alignnone" src="https://flowermanager.net/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/eLavender-Flowers-300x225.jpg" alt="Lavender Flowers" width="300" height="225" loading="lazy" /></a></p>
<h3><strong>Lavender</strong></h3>
<p>The scent of lavender has been cherished for centuries and used for its soothing and calming properties. Fresh cut lavender can last for over a week in water and since it dries well, its aroma can be enjoyed for a long time afterwards.</p>

BEAUTIFUL FLOWERS WITH AMAZING FRAGRANCE

<div class="entry-content bla"><img class="attachment-690x342 size-690x342 wp-post-image" src="https://frenchfloristblog.flowermanager.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/9/2019/12/Elegant-DriedFlowers-blog-768x381.jpg" sizes="(max-width: 690px) 100vw, 690px" srcset="https://frenchfloristblog.flowermanager.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/9/2019/12/Elegant-DriedFlowers-blog-768x381.jpg 768w, https://frenchfloristblog.flowermanager.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/9/2019/12/Elegant-DriedFlowers-blog-300x149.jpg 300w, https://frenchfloristblog.flowermanager.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/9/2019/12/Elegant-DriedFlowers-blog-500x248.jpg 500w, https://frenchfloristblog.flowermanager.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/9/2019/12/Elegant-DriedFlowers-blog.jpg 1200w" alt="" width="690" height="342" loading="lazy" />
<p>Traditionally, flowers are dried by hanging them upside down, out of direct sunlight. Although this tried and true&nbsp;method works well and is the most recommended way for those who plan to display dried flowers in a vase, this flower preservation&nbsp;method&nbsp;requires days and days of drying. If you have a dried flower project that you want to work on today, waiting a week or longer for your flowers to dry simply won't work. Our Los Angeles flower experts at<strong> <a href="https://www.frenchflorist.com" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">French Florist</a></strong> recommend trying a more modern method of flower drying that will allow you to have fresh flowers now and dry flowers in just minutes.</p>

<h2><strong>How to Dry Flowers in Just Minutes</strong></h2>
<p>To dry flowers in minutes, zap them in the microwave!</p>
<p>In order to dry flowers in the microwave, you'll need some supplies which include a microwave-safe container and enough silica sand to fill the container or at least completely bury your flowers. To prepare your flowers, trim away leaves and stems. Then put down a layer of sand and arrange your flowers on top of it in the container. Next, cover your flowers completely with the silica sand. Fill a cup with water and put it in the microwave with your container of flowers and silica sand. Microwave on high in 30-second intervals and check your flowers' progress between each 30 seconds of heat. The total drying time will depend on the type and size of flowers, but dry completely in two or three minutes.</p>

<p id="caption-attachment-1541" class="wp-caption-text">A Flower Cluster</p>
</div>
<p>Microwave drying flowers works well for blooms of all sizes, including even the largest flowers like the sumptuous <a href="https://www.frenchflorist.com/flowers/roses/">roses</a> in our<strong> <a href="https://www.frenchflorist.com/flowers/flower-cluster-arrangement-los-angeles-ca/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">'A Flower Cluster'</a> </strong>bouquet. While any size of bloom can be dried in the microwave, you will need to trim the stems to make sure they fit in your microwave-safe container.</p>
<h2><strong>How to Dry Flowers in Just Hours</strong></h2>
<p>Microwaving flowers is a great option, and it's really fast, but it's not the perfect flower drying method, if&nbsp;you want to keep your flowers' long stems. Although you can't dry long-stemmed flowers in the microwave, you can bake them in the oven.</p>
<div id="attachment_1550" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 410px;"><img class="wp-image-1550" src="https://frenchfloristblog.flowermanager.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/9/2019/12/Bouquet-of-Dried-Roses-300x200.jpg" sizes="(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px" srcset="https://frenchfloristblog.flowermanager.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/9/2019/12/Bouquet-of-Dried-Roses-300x200.jpg 300w, https://frenchfloristblog.flowermanager.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/9/2019/12/Bouquet-of-Dried-Roses-1200x800.jpg 1200w, https://frenchfloristblog.flowermanager.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/9/2019/12/Bouquet-of-Dried-Roses-768x512.jpg 768w, https://frenchfloristblog.flowermanager.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/9/2019/12/Bouquet-of-Dried-Roses-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https://frenchfloristblog.flowermanager.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/9/2019/12/Bouquet-of-Dried-Roses-2048x1365.jpg 2048w, https://frenchfloristblog.flowermanager.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/9/2019/12/Bouquet-of-Dried-Roses-450x300.jpg 450w" alt="Bouquet of Dried Roses" width="400" height="267" loading="lazy" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-1550" />

<p>First, you'll need to preheat the oven to its lowest heat setting and line a cookie sheet with either wax or parchment paper. Arrange your flowers on the cookie sheet so that they do not overlap. Put them in the oven and leave the door cracked so that moisture will be able to escape and evaporate out of the flowers.</p>
<p>Drying flowers in the oven requires take between eight and twelve hours, so you'll want to do this on a day when you'll be able to stay home and monitory their progress.</p>
<div id="attachment_1543" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 410px;"><img class="wp-image-1543" src="https://frenchfloristblog.flowermanager.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/9/2019/12/Dried-Pink-Roses-e1577809931952-300x201.jpg" sizes="(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px" srcset="https://frenchfloristblog.flowermanager.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/9/2019/12/Dried-Pink-Roses-e1577809931952-300x201.jpg 300w, https://frenchfloristblog.flowermanager.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/9/2019/12/Dried-Pink-Roses-e1577809931952-1200x806.jpg 1200w, https://frenchfloristblog.flowermanager.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/9/2019/12/Dried-Pink-Roses-e1577809931952-768x516.jpg 768w, https://frenchfloristblog.flowermanager.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/9/2019/12/Dried-Pink-Roses-e1577809931952-1536x1031.jpg 1536w, https://frenchfloristblog.flowermanager.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/9/2019/12/Dried-Pink-Roses-e1577809931952-447x300.jpg 447w, https://frenchfloristblog.flowermanager.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/9/2019/12/Dried-Pink-Roses-e1577809931952.jpg 1698w" alt="Dried Pink Roses" width="400" height="269" loading="lazy" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-1543" />

<h2><strong>How to Make Your Dried Flowers Last</strong></h2>
<p>The most important part of successfully drying flowers is making sure they're completely dry. Any leftover moisture will cause the flowers to rot. Your flowers will have a tissue paper-like texture when they're ready.</p>
<p>Dried flowers will last a long time on their own, but there are some things you can do to make them stay beautiful even longer. Be careful not to display your flowers in direct sunlight, as this will cause their colors to fade. Do not keep them near a humid location in your home, like a bathroom, because the moisture will damage them.&nbsp;To further protect your flowers from the elements, you can mist them with a few coats of evenly and gently applied hairspray.</p>

THE FASTEST METHOD OF DRYING FLOWERS

<p>In the 1950's, Secretaries Day was instituted as a recruiting tool, attempting to convince women to join the workforce, specifically in this traditionally male-dominated field. Of course, times have changed quite a bit! The career is now made up primarily of women, with only 5% of their membership being male. And although secretaries are still considered one job description under the administrative professional umbrella, they are&nbsp;increasingly known by more contemporary names.</p>
<p>Secretaries Week is still celebrated in some areas, while in most parts of the country (like right here in Los Angeles) it has been given a modern makeover, changed to Administrative Professionals Day. But no matter what you call it, this day is the perfect opportunity to let your employees know how very valuable they are to you.&nbsp;<span id="more-957"></span><br /><a href="http://www.frenchflorist.com/flowers/west-hollywood-roses-cheery-display/"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-960" src="https://flowermanager.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/9/2017/03/french-1.gif" alt="Secretaries week" width="450" height="500" loading="lazy" /></a></p>
<p>The research is compelling. When an employee is recognized for their work and commended for their efforts, they respond in many positive ways. They become more productive, are more willing to make suggestions and be proactive, and are more likely to be a team-player. They are less likely to call in sick, take personal days, and quit their job. Given the benefits to affirming your employees and thanking them for all they do, it seems a great investment to make during Administrative Professionals Week.</p>
<p><strong>Choose Your Desktop Design:</strong> Compact geometric cubes filled with blooms make a wonderful gift for this occasion.</p>
<p>Not only does their smaller size allow for them to be displayed on a desktop, but the bright colors of spring flowers is known to elevate the mood of the recipient. Choose from <a href="https://www.frenchflorist.com/flowers/roses/">roses</a>, tulips, hydrangea, orchids, and more. (<a href="http://www.frenchflorist.com/occasions/secretaries-day/secretaries-week-flowers/">browse our entire collection here</a>) &nbsp;Whether you want floral bouquets, orchid plants, blooming baskets, or green plants, we have everything you need.</p>
<p>Call it Secretaries Week or Administrative Professionals Week, the sentiment is the same. Your employees are awesome and they deserve to be recognized! Contact&nbsp;<a href="http://www.frenchflorist.com/">French Florist </a>for more ideas on how to honor your very best team members.</p>

<p>One of our favorite tropical floral designs features birds-of-paradise and heliconia.

Red ginger and anthurium add unique textures and bright contrast, while various palm fronds contribute an authentic air. Purple orchids, lilies and <a href="https://www.frenchflorist.com/flowers/roses/">roses</a> cool things down with beauty and grace.</p>

EXOTIC SUMMER TROPICAL FLORAL DESIGNS

<p>This time of the year, nature decorates the world with all the colors and textures of the late spring flowers. Here at French Florist, we love designing floral arrangements and bouquets that celebrate all the vivid hues and brilliant tones of this season, and as we head into summer, now is the perfect time to fill your home with beauty. What is your favorite spring&nbsp;flower?&nbsp;<span id="more-987"></span><img class="alignleft wp-image-991 size-medium" src="https://flowermanager.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/9/2017/05/fren-267x300.jpg" sizes="(max-width: 267px) 100vw, 267px" srcset="https://frenchfloristblog.flowermanager.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/9/2017/05/fren-267x300.jpg 267w, https://frenchfloristblog.flowermanager.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/9/2017/05/fren.jpg 400w" alt="late spring flowers " width="267" height="300" loading="lazy" /><br />One of the most popular ' and most recognizable ' spring florals is the common sunflower. This bright bloom is practically synonymous&nbsp;with the spring and summer seasons, and its habit of turning its head to follow the sun makes it a perfect floral ambassador. Sunflowers are not only beautiful, they are one of the most versatile and useful plants on the planet. Their seeds are used for food, and the oil made from the seeds has medicinal applications. Sunflower oil can be used to cook, to treat wounds, and&nbsp;even to soften leather! Each sunflower offers approximately 2,000 seeds in its center disk; the bright yellow 'petals' are actually each individual&nbsp;flowers clustered together. It seems the common sunflower is not so common after all. Sunflowers are bold enough to stand on their own, or to mix with other flowers.</p>
<p>Other spring florals which have our attention this season are <a href="https://www.frenchflorist.com/flowers/roses/">roses</a> in neon colors, as well as lilies in orange,<a href="http://www.frenchflorist.com/product.cfm?iteID=2521"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-989" src="https://flowermanager.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/9/2017/05/frecnh-267x300.jpg" sizes="(max-width: 267px) 100vw, 267px" srcset="https://frenchfloristblog.flowermanager.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/9/2017/05/frecnh-267x300.jpg 267w, https://frenchfloristblog.flowermanager.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/9/2017/05/frecnh.jpg 400w" alt="late spring flowers " width="267" height="300" loading="lazy" /></a> yellow and pink. These classic flowers in bright colors make a vivid statement. Asters, mums, and daisies are all members of the same family and come in a rainbow of colors to complement any design.&nbsp;For a slightly more demure (but no less beautiful) spring flower, try the hydrangea in shades of pink, green, blue and white.</p>
<p>One of the more beloved late spring flowers is the peony. Although there are many varieties, floral designers often turn to the double peony for their creations. The double peony has an overabundance of soft petals that completely cover the center of the flower, forming a 'ball of petals' that is both&nbsp;elegant and unique. Peonies can grow to exhibit very large blooms and come in many colors, often pinks and pastels.</p>

Considered one of the oldest types of flowers, <a href="https://www.frenchflorist.com/flowers/roses/">roses</a> have been part of the human experience for millennium. If you are giving flower in June, consider giving roses, the birth flower of the month, to celebrate the history and beauty of this brilliant bloom.</p>
<p><strong>The History of the Rose</strong></p>
<p>Cultivation of roses for gardens started 5,000 years ago, and it was believed to have begun in China. Throughout the Roman history, most cultivation of roses occurred in the Middle East. In early history they were valued for their medicinal purposes, fragrance and the petals were used as confetti during parties. When the Roman Empire fell, the rose began to spread throughout the world.</p>
<p>In the 15th century, roses were used to symbolize warring factions in England, with the white rose symbolizing the house of York and the red rose symbolizing the house of Lancaster in what would become known as the War of the Roses. In the 17th century, they were in such high demand that roses were used as legal tender. However, roses didn?t become a staple in European culture until the 18th century. Soon, hybridizers started breeding native roses to create the beautiful blooms used in cut flowers today.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-411" src="https://flowermanager.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/9/2015/05/zoom_FW7023-15021081819.jpg" sizes="(max-width: 950px) 100vw, 950px" srcset="https://frenchfloristblog.flowermanager.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/9/2015/05/zoom_FW7023-15021081819.jpg 950w, https://frenchfloristblog.flowermanager.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/9/2015/05/zoom_FW7023-15021081819-250x300.jpg 250w, https://frenchfloristblog.flowermanager.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/9/2015/05/zoom_FW7023-15021081819-853x1024.jpg 853w" alt="roses" width="950" height="1140" loading="lazy" /></p>
<p><strong>The Symbolism of the Rose</strong></p>
<p>The rose, perhaps more than any other flower, has great symbolism. The color of the rose has deep meaning, like these popular colors:</p>
<ul>
<li>Red ? The color of passionate love</li>
<li>Yellow ? The color of friendship and admiration</li>
<li>Pink ? The color of romantic love and gratitude</li>
<li>Purple ? The color of admiration</li>
<li>White ? The color of sympathy, purity and innocence</li>
</ul>

Prom Flowers

Some of the most visible features of this special evening are the corsages and boutonnieres exchanged by young couples as they head to the dance.</p>
<p>If youve already made an appointment with the stylist, made dinner reservations, and called up the limo company, it's time to get in touch with your florist to choose your prom flowers.</p>
<p><strong>Making Sure the Flowers Match</strong></p>
<p>No matter what color the dress and tuxedo, there are flowers to match, and most couples choose their flowers in a complementary color. So, for a blue dress and a black tuxedo where the girl might wear white shoes and the guy has a white tie or bowtie, you might think about a <a href="http://www.frenchflorist.com/product.cfm?iteID=2192">corsage of white roses</a> and orchids and a simple white rose boutonniere to match.</p>
<div id="attachment_383" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 273px;"><a href="http://www.frenchflorist.com/product.cfm?iteID=2192"><img class="size-full wp-image-383" src="https://flowermanager.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/9/2015/03/zoom_TF17403EH695788.jpg" alt="Roses and Orchids Corsage" width="263" height="300" loading="lazy" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-383" /></a>
<p id="caption-attachment-383" class="wp-caption-text">Roses and Orchids Corsage</p>
</div>
<p>However, the colors you choose don't need to exactly match something on your outfits, and you don't have to wear accessories that are the same color as your flowers. For a red dress and a white tux, pink flowers are a beautiful choice as are ivory flowers.</p>
<p>Want something stunning and out-of-the-ordinary? Try yellow <a href="https://www.frenchflorist.com/flowers/roses/">roses</a> for your corsage and boutonniere or go with orchids instead of roses for something elegant.</p>
<p><strong>Who Buys and Chooses the Flowers?</strong></p>
<p>You have a whole pile of things to arrange whether youre buying a boutonniere for your boyfriend or a corsage for your girlfriend, but flowers are easy to figure out. Traditionally, each person buys flowers for his or her date.</p>
<p>Sometimes a couple might have one person choose the flowers, so they match, but it's not the end of the world if you buy a red boutonniere and your date chooses a <a href="http://www.frenchflorist.com/product.cfm?iteID=2211">pink corsage</a>. As long as you have a brief conversation about the colors of your outfits, choosing flowers to match is fun and easy.</p>
<div id="attachment_384" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 273px;"><a href="http://www.frenchflorist.com/product.cfm?iteID=2211"><img class="size-full wp-image-384" src="https://flowermanager.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/9/2015/03/zoom_TF16203EH759552.jpg" alt="Pink Corsage" width="263" height="300" loading="lazy" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-384" /></a>
<p id="caption-attachment-384" class="wp-caption-text">Pink Corsage</p>
</div>
<p>Want to make it extra easy to get the right flowers? Split the responsibilities down the middle with one person taking choosing the colors of the outfits and flowers and the other arranging the transportation and the food.</p>
<p>Whether youre attending prom with friends, or youve got a date with your boyfriend or girlfriend, prom should be an excitingly fun night. Make it beautiful with flowers from <a href="http://www.frenchflorist.com/">French Florist</a>.</p>
