Plus, everyone loves flowers, they have been proven to lift spirits and reduce stress, and they are beautiful and fragrant. There's nothing quite like a bouquet of gorgeous, fresh flowers from a florist. Sometimes, though, you may be inclined to couple another item with flowers to make your gift all the more special.</p>

Not only do we offer a wide range of <a href="https://www.frenchflorist.com/flowers/favorite-choices/">high-quality, pretty blooms</a>, but we also put together a list of other items that go great with a bouquet of flowers too.</p>

HOLIDAY WEDDING DECORATIONS

It is presently the national flower of Mexico and has been cultivated throughout the world to have over 14,000 varieties today.</p>
<p>Dahlias are famous for their bright, colorful continually-blooming flowers that delight viewers year-round. It comes in variety of sizes, colors and shapes, making it popular with gardeners as well as florists. Its beauty inspired the Spanish who saw it in Mexico, took it to their home country and caused its eventual spread and proliferation in Europe.</p>
<p><strong>Dahlia Description and Characteristics</strong></p>
<p>There can be tremendous differences in the various dahlia species. Color, size, petal shape, height and number of petal rows can all vary widely. They grow in smaller varieties just 1 to 3 feet with flowers 2 to 4 inches in diameter. However, there are also much larger species that grow 6 feet tall with stunning flowers that can get up to one foot in diameter.</p>
<p>One of the most impressive characteristics of the dahlia flower is its ringed petals. Flower color of the dahlia can vary quite a bit, and they are seen in white, pink, yellow, red, orange and purple. Flowers are often solid in color, but they can also be patterned in stripes or have different colors at the edges. Petals can be round or pointed, straight or curled at the edges, long or short, uniform or spaced irregularly. There is quite literally a dahlia for every taste, style and preference.</p>
<p><strong>Dahlia Symbolism and Meaning</strong></p>
<p>The dahlia flower came to inspire profound symbolic meaning as it grew in popularity in the Victorian era. It continues to express strong personal sentiments today when used in d'cor or given as a gift. While meanings had religious connections centuries ago, today it brings a wild, untamed energy to more traditional garden and gift arrangements. It can indicate an era of change, exciting travel plans or a desire to unleash one's 'wild side' a bit more.</p>
<p>Mixed and blended with other flowers, the meaning of dahlia is tempered and more balanced. An arrangement that includes softer blooms like <a href="http://www.frenchflorist.com/flowers/roses/">roses</a>, calla lilies and tulips can symbolize dignity, elegance and a commitment in marriage. Dahlia also blends well with autumn blooms in <a href="http://www.frenchflorist.com/flowers/los-angeles-fall-flowers/">fall flower arrangements</a>; consider giving the dahlia along with daisies, asters, sunflowers and chrysanthemums for a truly abundant and radiant effect.</p>

The 2018 theme is #PressforProgress, and it harkens back to the beginnings of this worldwide celebration when the focus was on gaining voting rights for women. The&nbsp;<a href="https://www.frenchflorist.com/">French Florist&nbsp;</a>creative team is always mindful of the occasion or circumstance for which we're coming up with floral designs, and International Women's Day is no exception.</p>
<p><span id="more-1163"></span>We're showcasing&nbsp;<a href="https://www.frenchflorist.com/flowers/super-values-los-angeles/cymbidium-orchid-bouquet/">A Lovely Burst of Beautiful Blooms</a>. The colors of this arrangement are the same colors that the Women's Social and Political Union used in the early 1900s in their campaign to win women the right to vote. We chose Cymbidium orchids, fragrant stock, Lisianthus, Bells of Ireland, and other floral accents in green, white and purple. The combination of flower sizes and shapes in a compact square vase makes a bold statement that won't go unnoticed, and the colors of the flowers are especially relevant because of their association with the early 20th century Suffragettes.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter" src="https://www.frenchflorist.com/images/item/zoom_FW1094080827125458.gif" alt="Cymbidium Orchids, Licianthis, Bells of Ireland Floral Design - French Florist"><span style="font-size: 1rem;">The&nbsp;</span><a style="font-size: 1rem;" href="https://www.frenchflorist.com/">French Florist</a><span style="font-size: 1rem;">&nbsp;team is always eager to help people choose the perfect flowers for every occasion. We're living in a difficult time where moral and ethical beliefs often collide. No one can deny the importance of supporting women, or of recognizing them for their accomplishments and the hard work, it takes for them to get to the places where they are now. Every woman needs to be appreciated, and on International Women's Day, expressions of gratitude, a show of support, and a willingness to become an active participant in the worldwide crusade to guarantee gender parity show the women in your life that you're their valuable ally.</span></p>

<div class="entry-content bla">
<p style="color: #333333;">Surprising that special someone with flowers is always a great idea ' flowers mean a lot more than most guys honestly realize. They can brighten up a room, and serve as a visual reminder that your significant other was thinking about you enough to stop and buy a bouquet.</p>
<p style="color: #333333;">But picking the right bouquet ' now that's the trick! Knowing what to get your loved one in order to create the perfect flower surprise can be a bit intimidating. With these three simple steps, your next flower surprise should be a breeze!</p>
<p style="color: #333333;">1. Know their tastes</p>
<p style="color: #333333;">Chances are, if you're buying flowers for someone, you'll know them pretty well. Buying flowers, however, may just show you how little you know about them. Will they like roses, or are they a lilac person? Or maybe even daffodils?</p>

Bright, vibrant roses would go great with someone who has a bubbly personality.

For more choices on flowers <a href="http://www.frenchflorist.com">check out our site</a> for more options!</p>

<p style="color: #333333;">2. Make the reveal special</p>
<p style="color: #333333;">Don't just walk in the door, throw your coat on the chair, and holler, 'Honey, I'm home!' while thrusting out a fistful of flowers. Make the presentation something special, that your significant other will remember, and more importantly, makes them feel important and valued. Flowers are just an outward sign of deep appreciation, and finding a way to communicate that in the way you give flowers will make all the difference.</p>

<p style="color: #333333;">Buying flowers is a great way to demonstrate your love for your significant other, and if you follow these tips, you should have no problem impressing them at all and making their day! We're here to help!</p>

<h2>What Are Eco-Friendly Flowers?</h2>
<p>Flowers grown by sustainable flower farms are those that are done so in a manner that works harmoniously with the surrounding environment. This means not using harmful pesticides or fertilizers and creating a sustainable environment so farming can continue indefinitely. Florists support eco-friendly farms and also practice other green initiatives in their shop daily. Here are just a few.</p>

<h2>Five Practices of an Eco-Friendly Florist</h2>
<h3><strong>1.Uses Recyclable Materials</strong></h3>
<p>A sustainable florist makes use of reusable and recyclable materials as often as possible. They do their utmost to reduce waste, stay away from non-biodegradable florist's foam, and wrap flowers in paper rather than plastic.</p>
<h3><strong>2. Sources Flowers Locally</strong></h3>
<p>Green florists will source flowers from local farmers whenever they can. This provides not only more environmentally friendly flowers because shipping is greatly reduced, but also the most gorgeous and freshest flowers available to the consumer.</p>
<h3><strong>3. Plans Smart Delivery Routes</strong></h3>
<p>Green florists devise smart delivery routes that save on gas, time, and reduce pollution. Some even use battery-operated vehicles.</p>
<h3><strong>4. Lets No Flower Go to Waste</strong></h3>
<p>With a green florist, unused flowers are donated to hospitals and nursing homes, other charitable causes, or composted to use as fertilizer in gardens.</p>
<h3><strong>5. Promotes Seasonal Flowers</strong></h3>
<p>Seasonable flowers are robust, fresh, and cheaper than purchasing those that are out of season. Most florists promote seasonal flowers because they are the best ones to buy at the time.</p>

<h2>Things You Can Do to Be Green</h2>
<p><strong>Upcycle Your Bouquet's Vase</strong></p>
<p>You are able to get far more life from your vases along with other containers by reusing them. At French Florist, we are always pleased to refill vases, and also we encourage our commercial clients to do so, also.</p>
<p><strong>Give Your Flowers a Second Life</strong></p>
<p>Continue to love your floral arrangement, corsage, bouquet, or boutonniere for decades to come by drying the flowers. Drying or pressing your flowers is a lovely way to preserve them and keep the memory of their special occasion alive.</p>
<p><strong>Shop from a Local Florist</strong></p>
<p>Ordering your flowers from a local florist instead of a large national chain guarantees that you will not only receive the freshest, healthiest blooms but that the carbon footprint created is way, way smaller than what a national chain would leave.</p>

With over 90 kinds of species, though, it can be tough to keep track of all the different types, which is why a classification order was created to organize the many varieties of lilies. All true lilies have specific characteristics, though, which are six petals and six anthers. After that, color, shape, size, and pattern are immensely varied.</p>
<h2><span style="color: #000000;"><strong>Lily Symbolism</strong></span></h2>
<p>A common story of the origin of the lily dates back to Greek mythology, where the Goddess Hera created lilies on Earth when she spilled a few drops of her breast milk. Since Hera is the Goddess of marriage, women, and childbirth, the lily is often associated with rebirth and motherhood. In China, the lily is a popular flower in weddings because it symbolizes good luck and 100 years of love. In Christianity, the Madonna lily is associated with the Virgin Mary and represents purity and chastity.</p>

<h2><strong>Best Planters for the Sun</strong></h2>
<p>When choosing a plant for the sunniest parts of your backyard, be sure to choose one that is heat tolerant and loves being in the sun. A few good suggestions are Million Bells, Bougainvillea, Portulaca, Petunias, and Sunpatiens. Keep in mind that hanging plants typically dry out quicker than plants in the ground, so check their water levels regularly. On particularly windy and sunny days, some plants may need to be watered twice.</p>

<h2><strong>Best Planters for the Shade</strong></h2>
<p>For shady areas, your best bets are Begonias, ferns, Bleeding Heart, Hellebores, and Lungwort. To keep your hanging plants looking healthy, trim back wayward growing vines as needed and fertilize often.</p>

<h2><strong>Where to Put Hanging Planters on Your Porch</strong></h2>
<p>There are a number of places you can hanging your planters outside, such from the limbs of a large tree, from your porch, or from a trellis or gazebo. You could stick a standing metal hanger rod in the ground for hanging your plants or bolt hangers onto the side of your fence for a decorative line of hanging baskets.</p>

<h2><strong>Top 5 Reasons to Order Your Valentine's Day Flowers in Advance</strong></h2>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2><strong>1. Amplify the Anticipation</strong></h2>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">This year, Valentine's Day falls on a Friday, making it the perfect opportunity to celebrate a whole week of romance and love. Have your bouquet delivered on Monday, so your sweetheart will feel special being one of the first to receive flowers. Delivering early will not only amplify the anticipation, excitement, and romance of the holiday, but also allow your significant other to enjoy the beautiful flowers all week long!</span></p>
<h2><strong>2. Take Your Pick of Designs</strong></h2>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">Millions of floral bouquets are delivered every year for Valentine's Day, which means the most popular colors, designs, and flowers sell out rapidly. Valentine's Day orders often start coming in as early as the middle of January; to make sure you get your first choice in flowers and don't have to settle for substitutions, be sure to order early.</span></p>
<div id="attachment_1561" style="width: 410px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><a href="https://www.frenchflorist.com/flowers/luxury-los-angeles/lux-roses/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><img aria-describedby="caption-attachment-1561" loading="lazy" class="wp-image-1561" src="https://frenchfloristblog.flowermanager.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/9/2020/01/Luxury-Roses-267x300.jpg" alt="Luxury Roses" width="400" height="449" srcset="https://frenchfloristblog.flowermanager.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/9/2020/01/Luxury-Roses-267x300.jpg 267w, https://frenchfloristblog.flowermanager.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/9/2020/01/Luxury-Roses.jpg 392w" sizes="(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px"></a><p id="caption-attachment-1561" class="wp-caption-text">Luxury Roses</p></div>
<h2><strong>3. Customize like Crazy</strong></h2>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">If you have a special request for a unique type of flower or another customization, it's essential that you order your bouquet early. We always try to accommodate our customers' requests, but around Valentine's Day, the demand on local greenhouses and farms is extremely high. This can make it difficult to get a special order into our shop in time to create your customized bouquet. If you're hoping to request a unique bloom for your love's flowers, put your order in at least two weeks early.</span></p>
<h2><strong>4. Get a Good Delivery Time</strong></h2>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">Valentine's Day and the days leading up to it are our busiest time of the year. It's also the busiest time of the year for our delivery drivers. As a result, delivery schedules fill up fast. Put your order in early to make sure you can get a delivery slot that works for you and your recipient.</span></p>
<h2><strong>5. Avoid Inevitable Anxiety</strong></h2>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">Waiting until the last minute to get flowers for Valentine's Day will only cause you stress because there's nothing quite like fighting a crowd of other anxious procrastinators, trying to piece together a Valentine's Day that looks like you remembered to plan ahead. Order early, so you can spend Valentine's Day relaxed in the company of your sweetheart.</span></p>

Coming up with the right words to clearly express your sentiment, however, is often difficult. Don't worry, though, because we've got you covered. We have a list of well-crafted, thoughtful messages for you to choose from for nearly every occasion. Ranging from notes of love and passion, celebrations and 'thank- yous,' to well-wishes and condolences, we make conveying your feelings to someone easy and effortless.</p>
<p>Sending flowers with a perfectly written message is super simple. Just choose a beautiful bouquet of flowers and then select one of our suggested sentiments from the list in the drop-down box during the check-out process. Voila! Your gorgeous flowers and eloquent message are on their way. If you still want to give a shot at composing something in your own words, just follow the below helpful guidelines to get started writing your own personal message from the heart.</p>
<h2 class="underline">Guidelines for Creating Great Card Messages</h2>
<ol>
<li><strong><img loading="lazy" class="alignright size-medium wp-image-1897" src="https://frenchfloristblog.flowermanager.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/9/2021/03/card-box-300x300.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="300" srcset="https://frenchfloristblog.flowermanager.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/9/2021/03/card-box-300x300.jpg 300w, https://frenchfloristblog.flowermanager.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/9/2021/03/card-box-150x150.jpg 150w, https://frenchfloristblog.flowermanager.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/9/2021/03/card-box.jpg 750w" sizes="(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px">Acknowledge the Occasion.</strong> If you're writing a thank-you message, be sure to mention what you're thankful for. An anniversary card should begin with a message from the heart or affection for the couple whose anniversary is being celebrated. A congratulatory note should mention the achievement of the person receiving the card.</li>
<li><strong>Use a Conversational Tone.</strong> There's no need to put too much effort into writing in a formal manner, just write casually as you would normally speak. This comes across as being more sincere and natural.</li>
<li><strong>Try to Avoid Cliches.</strong> Cliches have a time and a place but may come across as insincere in a personal message. Instead of phrases such as 'Everything happens for a reason,' 'If it's meant to be it's meant to be,' 'At the end of the day, ' and 'Giving it 110%,' use your own original words which will make your message a lot more genuine and meaningful.</li>
<li><strong>Brevity Is Best.</strong> You may have a lot to say and a lot on your mind, but to prevent your message from rambling, try to keep it brief. Get all of your thoughts down on paper, and then edit the message to just a few lines. This ensures your meaning comes across more clearly and thoughtfully stated.</li>
<li><strong>Re-read Your Message.</strong> Besides checking for proper grammar and spelling, read your message a few times to make sure it truly captures the sentiment you're trying to express. If it doesn't, give it a few more rounds of edits to make your thoughts more impactful.</li>
</ol>
<h3 class="underline non-caps">Tips for Writing an Anniversary Message</h3>
<p>A significant milestone in a relationship, reinforce your bond of love with a message that is personal and meaningful. Straight from the heart is the best way to go here.</p>
<h3 class="underline non-caps">Tips for Writing a Birthday Message</h3>
<p>Birthdays are a chance to have a little fun. They can be sincere, funny, or uplifting. The best messages include something personal between you and the recipient which can be added after a funny or sincere note.</p>
<h3 class="underline non-caps">Tips for Writing a Get Well Message</h3>
<p>Sending a warm message along with some bright, fresh flowers is a great way to help someone in the hospital recover quickly. Whether for a friend, family member, or coworker, select a general saying and then add some personal details to make it your own.</p>
<h3 class="underline non-caps">Tips for Writing a Thank You Message</h3>
<p>Sending 'thanks' to someone for doing something in particular, or just because they make you smile every day, is a great way to show your appreciation for them. From a general thanks for someone you don't know very well (Great Aunt, teacher, dog sitter) to a close friend or family member, expressing your thanks is always well-received and appreciated.</p>
<h3 class="underline non-caps">Tips for Writing a Mother's Day Message</h3>
<p>When writing a message to someone as important as a mom, feelings can sometimes overwhelm you and you don't know where to start. Use our message suggestions as a starting point to prompt you to express your true feelings in letting your mom know how much she means to you.</p>
<h3 class="underline non-caps">Tips for Writing a Sympathy Message</h3>
<p>Coming up with the words for a sincere and thoughtful sympathy message is probably the most difficult of all. Trying to comfort someone who is in pain and suffered a loss may leave you confused on where to begin. It's helpful to write words of support and encouragement and, above all else, to be sincere and thoughtful. Often a well-crafted quote works well to capture the sentiment you're feeling.</p>

<h2 class="underline">Important Points to Keep in Mind Before Sending Someone Flowers</h2>
<p>Sending flowers for special occasions, big or small, is a well-established custom that makes the occasions all that more special. With the right message, flowers have the power to lift spirits, create joy, expand love, soothe the soul, inspire happiness, and help comfort.</p>
<p>There are a few things to keep in mind, though, before sending someone flowers.</p>
<ol>
<li><img loading="lazy" class="alignright size-medium wp-image-1898" src="https://frenchfloristblog.flowermanager.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/9/2021/03/card-desktop-300x300.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="300" srcset="https://frenchfloristblog.flowermanager.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/9/2021/03/card-desktop-300x300.jpg 300w, https://frenchfloristblog.flowermanager.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/9/2021/03/card-desktop-150x150.jpg 150w, https://frenchfloristblog.flowermanager.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/9/2021/03/card-desktop.jpg 750w" sizes="(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px">When sending someone flowers, make sure they <strong>don't have allergies</strong>. If you are unsure whether they are allergic or not, stick with hypoallergenic flowers such as carnations, orchids, tulips, hyacinth, daffodils, and peonies.</li>
<li>If sending flowers to someone in the hospital, <strong>call the hospital first</strong> to make sure they receive flower deliveries. Here are more tips on sending flowers to a medical facility.</li>
<li>If you want to send flowers to show your appreciation of frontline and healthcare workers, <strong>send a thoughtful card instead</strong> to the facility, since flowers may not even be allowed. If you want to send flowers to a nurse or doctor you personally know, send them to their home address.</li>
<li>When sending sympathy flowers, <strong>check with the family</strong> to see if they prefer the flowers to be sent to a funeral home rather than their home address.</li>
<li>When sending romantic flowers, red roses are the classic choice, but to really impress and express your love, send the recipient <strong>their favorite flowers</strong> to make a bold romantic gesture. Also, send the bouquet to their private residence instead of a public location like work which can cause gossip or embarrassment.</li>
<li>When sending birthday flowers or celebratory flowers for special occasions such as Easter, Professional Admin Day, or Thanksgiving, <strong>keep in mind the recipient</strong>. If they are a good friend but not someone you're romantically involved with, then don't send red roses. Again, it's best to send to their private residence. Keep your flower choices and messages thematically appropriate. Send cheery and colorful flowers for a birthday, get well, or congratulatory occasion. For a new baby, send soft and cute arrangements in pink (for a girl) or blue (for a boy). If you don't know the gender or don't want to offend, play it safe by choosing neutral colors such as orange, yellow, or green.</li>
</ol>
<p>Use the flower-giving and message-writing guide above, and before you know it, you'll be considered one of the most thoughtful, eloquent, and tasteful gift giver around.</p>

All over the globe, funeral flowers play an important role in memorial service traditions; most originate in ancient ceremonies involving the anointing of the deceased; as well as placing aromatic flowers at the burial site. Today, flowers are still considered one of the most meaningful ways to express our condolences when words are often not enough.</p>
<div></div>
<div>There are generally two types of flowers purchased by friends, colleagues and extended families. Flowers for the funeral service are sent to the funeral home. The displays are formal in design and are often arranged in large standing sprays or wreaths. These florals are most appropriate at the funeral home or at graveside services and are never delivered to a home or office, out of respect for the grieving family.<br>

They are characteristically smaller, and should be able to be displayed on tables and counter tops. Many people also choose green or flowering plants to express sympathy, as they provide a long lasting reminder of your thoughtfulness and can function as a keepsake.&nbsp;Often the news of a friend's passing doesn't reach you in time for the memorial service. Sending flowers as an expression of sympathy is always appropriate, no matter what the timing. The family will always appreciate the gesture. When sending flowers directly to a residence, you may also consider a gourmet gift or fruit basket.<br>

If you wish to provide these important pieces for the family, it is imperative that you inquire with the family before ordering, to not cause confusion or offense.</div>
