Memorial Day in Atlanta

C1Memorial is a three-day weekend for some to enjoy things like the Atlanta Jazz Festival or the Decatur Arts Festival.

For others, however, it’s a time of remembrance and reflection on those heroes in our lives that we lost in battle and war, fighting for our freedom.

Each year, a big Memorial Day event is the Salute to the Troops in Stone Mountain Park held over the weekend just before Memorial Day on Monday, May 30th. The theme park will offer admission, a seat for the salute, and a laser show with music and fireworks.

Roswell has the largest Memorial Day event in Georgia. It features stories from veterans, salutes, and speeches.

You may also have a personal memorial planned with a visit to a gravesite or you are planning on sending some flowers of remembrance to a friend who lost someone in a war or conflict.C2

Whether you are planning for an event or sending a gift, consider our Atlanta flower shop the best place to pick up a flower arrangement, wreath, or bouquet.

We have numerous patriotic-themed flower arrangements. For example, the American Patriot Sympathy Vase holds roses, carnations, lilies, greenery and more in a vase.

Another beauty is Elegant Celebrations, which includes roses, hydrangea, lisianthis and textured greenery in a glass vase.

An alternative to consider is the Blue Hydrangea Garden Planter with Ivy that has two flowering blue hydrangea plans in a footed container filled with ivy.

You can also work directly with our floral design team to do custom Memorial Day flower arrangements, wreaths, sprays and bouquets. All you need to do is call and make an appointment. C3

Prom Season is Here in Atlanta

C2 C1Coming up is prom season so this is the time to start planning for prom flowers, prom boutonnieres, and prom corsages. We have a wide selection of prom flowers to choose from, or you can create you own custom prom corsage and matching custom prom boutonniere.

When you are getting ready to decide what type of prom flowers to get, consider the following factors:

  • What color is your dress? You don’t want to pick the same color for your flowers because no one will be able to see it, especially if it’s pinned to your prom gown. Instead, go with a complementary color that adds to your look.
  • What is your budget? There are a lot of costs with attending the prom, so make sure you set a reasonable budget for everything, including your flowers.
  • What do you like? Don’t just go with what is trendy. Pick your favorite flower and make sure the style represents what you like, not what your friends like. This is a special moment in your life so make it about you.

To give you an idea of what is possible for prom flowers, check out some examples from our prom flower collection:

  • The Fashion Pink Gerbera Daisy Corsage features hot pink gerbera daisies, faux diamond studs, ribbon and a keepsake jeweled wristlet.C3
  • The Dendrobium Orchid and Roses with Rhinestones has purple dendrobium orchids and roses along with rhinestones placed on a faux diamond “rock candy” wristlet.
  • The White Sweetheart Rose Corsage is also a wristlet design with white sweetheart roses, sheer ribbon, and floral greenery.

Each of these prom corsages has a matching prom boutonniere.C4

To show you a bit more of the diversity, here are three prom boutonnieres that also have matching prom corsages:

  • The Spring Yellow Alstromeria Lily Boutonniere offers a bright display for prom.
  • The Lavender Lisianthis Boutonniere is a unique floral display with a gold wire stem wrap.C5
  • The Classic White Rose Boutonniere offers a traditional look for prom.

We recommend ordering early for the best selection! You can also schedule an appointment to create your custom prom flowers. We deliver or you can pick up your prom flower order.C6
