Flower arrangements for that special someone - News-Press Now

Instead consider adding chrysanthemums, iris, tulips, daffodils or some hyacinths to the mix. Allow your senses to guide you.“We’ll do a lot of different things this time of year,” says Karen Beattie, owner of Garden Gate Flowers and Gifts. “We do a lot of mixed arrangements. We like to work with bright and bold colors.”If you’re unsure which flowers to choose, figure out what you want to communicate.Yes, roses communicate love and romance. But daisies are known to symbolize beauty. The gerbera variety, recognizable by its large, flowering head, is available in an assortment of hues, which gives the additional meaning of cheerfulness.Tulips mean perfect love. They’re classical and convey comfort and warmth.Lastly, the gardenia, which is loaded with fragrance, is an elegant flower signifying joy and deep old-fashioned love.Beattie says she likes to add texture and different elements to arrangements, whether it be curly willow, vines or butterflies; something to really make the arrangement pop.If you’re wanting to send a little something for the kids or someone you’re not quite as acquainted with, there are options available.“We have a really cute vase with chicken wire coupled with brightly colored gerbera,” Beattie says. “People are always looking for something different. They don’t want flowers that look like everybody else’s in the office.”But don’t wait until the last minute to get your flowers if you want something special, says Teresa Bally of Butchart Flowers.“They need to come in and order early to get their order in,” she says. “Usually, on that last day we are out of things. What we have likely will be spoken for.”Another thing to consider is an earl... http://www.newspressnow.com/life/home_garden/flower-arrangements-for-that-special-someone/article_002709a7-9bad-56a8-bca1-c127ac07edaf.html
