More family special occasion days happen this month, one of which is Grandparent's Day on September 12th. This is an opportune time to let your grandparents know how much you treasure them for their wisdom, unconditional love, and generosity with their time. Your grandparents appreciate any time you can give them and know you have busy lives. That's why this special day in September is so important to celebrate them. Here are some ideas to celebrate your grandparents. If you can't see your grandparents in-person, call them or send a card and gift like a plant, gift basket, or a bouquet of fresh flowers. They will appreciate the sentiment and will be happy that you remembered this special occasion day even if you couldn't see them. Go visit them and spend time with them. If they can't go out from their house, consider bringing a meal or cooking something there. If they can go out, take them to a meal and out to something they enjoy like the park or gardens, a museum, the movies, or the mall. Ask them what they would like to do and plan your day around their preferences. Whatever you choose to do, make the most of the time together.

Get Ready for Labor Day Festivities with Flowers
Labor Day is just around the corner on the first Monday of September. This year, that falls on September 6th. It's a day to celebrate all the American workers do for the companies they work for and their efforts to fuel local and national economies. Although most see Labor Day as the official end to summer and a three-day weekend to relax and enjoy, it's important to remember the reason it exists and bring awareness to the value of American workers, including their talent and energy. This also includes business work who often work endless hours to sustain their business. Here in Cedartown and Rome, Georgia, our flower shops also celebrate our talented staff and their hard work. Whether you plan to be off from work or have to still do some work, here are some ways to celebrate Labor Day with flowers. First, if you are a business owner, consider gifting your staff with a personalized bouquet in their favorite colors or with their favorite flowers. It's a sweet gesture that shows you appreciate them and you know what they like. Of course, you don't have to own a business to send someone flowers for being an incredible employee. You could send flowers to a friend, family member, neighbor, or colleague who you know gives work their all. Second, you might be planning some [...]

The second week of August is known as National Smile Week. It's a good time to smile more at others (in some places, this may mean smiling with your eyes or emojis in case you have to wear a mask. And, it's a good opportunity to do things for others that are bound to make them smile. After all, smiling is known to put those who do it and experience it in a more positive frame of mind. August is also National Romance Awareness Month, which is an opportunity to focus on romance despite having hectic lives and lots of responsibilities that take you away from focusing on your loved one as much as you'd like.

Many of these floral designs also reflect a Far Eastern design in terms of the minimalism and thoughtfully placed natural elements, including unique containers that allow flowers and greenery to be displayed this way.
