“Wow” them Flowers!
Calla Lily Promise™ Bouquet
When you want to really “WOW” a recipient with flowers go exotic or with huge blooms. Go with flowers that are not the typical filler flowers in flower arrangements. Go with bold colors that make a statement in designs that are unusual and create conversation. Some great flowers to “WOW” the receiver of flowers are:
Orchids: Absolutely one of the most stunning yet understated flower in a flower arrangement. They are great for creating various types of exotic flower arrangements.
Calla lilies: These lilies are elegant and sleek and definitely make a statement with its clean lines and modish look makes it very popular for weddings and added to arrangements that are created to wow a person.
Lilly of the Valley: This fragrant beauty can be rather pricy added to a floral arrangement, but its elegance is worth the price when one sees the benefit it gives to a “wow” flower arrangement.
Peonies: Very seasonal and another hard find so when you do hit the season right, peonies make a bold statement.
Magnolias: Keep in mind that these are not always available at all florists and are seasonal so the price will reflect this but so will the sentiment.
Hydrangeas: These delightfully feminine flowers large, tightly packed blooms require fewer to get the desired affect making it a price effective way to create the perfect wow flower arrangement.
If the old standbys of roses and carnations just don’t seem to give enough wow factor on their own, consider adding some of the suggested flowers to give your flower arrangement a real “Wow” factor.
Pet Friendly Flowers
Pets are an integral part of many households and although sending flowers to family and friends is a wonderful way to express your feelings, take into consideration the furry family members that reside with them.
Pets, especially cats, dogs, and potbelly pigs (yes, they are in a lot of people’s home making a great addition to their households) are nosey creatures. They love to sniff and taste everything, and flowers are definitely no exception. The beautiful colors and the sweet aroma of flowers are a strong attraction on their own to both human and animal alike.
Household with pets take a little bit more thought when sending flowers to ensure that the flowers you are sending won’t bring harm to any family member, furry or not.
Most plants/flowers won’t cause more then an upset tummy if it is ingested by pets but some can cause more serious health problems.
Here are some common pet friendly plants/flowers you can send to pet friendly homes without issue:
- African daisy
- African violet
- Alyssum
- Bachelors buttons
- Begonia
- Celosia
- Common Snapdragon
- Easter Daisy
