Bussey’s Florist has wonderful, fresh and memorable flowers and plants as gifts to honor Veterans Day on November 11th

Bussey's Florist The history surrounding Veterans Day on November 11th is interesting and quite unique. In 1918 on the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month, all major hostilities of World War I were formally ended.  Veterans Day was initially referred to as Armistice Day and was created to celebrate the service of all U.S. military veterans. A respectable and loving way to honor a Veteran on this special day, is to send a flower arrangement or plant from Bussey's Florist. In 1919, President Woodrow Wilson gave a memorable speech where he highly commended the men and women of the United States military. "To us in America the reflections of Armistice Day will be filled with solemn pride in the heroism of those who died in the country's service, and with gratitude for the victory, both because of the thing from which it has freed us and because of the opportunity it has given America to show her sympathy with peace and justice in the councils of nations". Both Armistice Day and Remembrance Day are celebrated in other countries as a remembrance to the end of World War I. In 1954, Veterans Day became the official name in the US to honor our military men and women. Veterans Day differs from Memorial Day. While both days honor our military, Memorial Day is designated to honor those who died while fighting for our country. Veterans Day is designated to honor all of the military folks who have served our country. You will find creative, loving and fresh floral products at Bussey's Florist. Here is a short list of ideas for other kind acts to honor a Veteran. Hire a veteran - If you own a small business or are in a hiring position at a company, perhaps hire [...]

Enjoy Weekly Flower and Plant Specials From Bussey’s Florist

Flowers and plants are a beautiful and healthy solution for your home or office. These are also a thoughtful gift for others to add beauty and wellness to their lives. However, many people still view flowers and plants as luxury items so they don't often purchase them unless for a special event or occasion. Our Rome, Georgia flower shop and Cedartown, Georgia florist location both plan to prove that these are not luxuries but can be enjoyed by all when offered an affordable rate. It was one of the reasons why we started our weekly local specials. Our weekly specials are also a thank you to our local customers who have continued to support us no good times and not-so-good times like 2020. In the past year, we've heard many stories from our customers who told us that flowers cheered them up and added life to their homes where they had to spend much more time. They have also shared how recipients have felt better getting a beautiful bouquet or sublime green or flowering plant. Each week, we will update our local weekly specials with more stunning bouquets, flower arrangements, and plants. This provides you with a way to enjoy a variety of flowers or take advantage of the promotion for an upcoming loved one's birthday, anniversary, welcome, congratulations, or "just because."

Add Halloween Festive Decor to Your Home!

It's less than a week to go before Halloween arrives. This year, it's on a Saturday, and we're sure many still plan to trick-or-treat. Whatever you plan on doing, it most likely includes decorating your home to be more festive for this fun celebration. From sophisticate to gothic to super scary, there are so may ways you can transform your home for Halloween.

Here are some ideas to get you started that you can order in-store, by phone, or through our website for curbside pickup or local, contactless delivery. Traditional and Fun One of our favorite ways to decorate for Halloween is to use a lot of pumpkins and gourds. Carved or uncarved, they are symbols of fall that carry right through to Thanksgiving. We offer ceramic pumpkin containers filled with different styles and colors of flowers and fall accents. We can also add little pumpkins to our plant and garden arrangements or any of our fall bouquets. Elegant and Sophisticated While Halloween is often for kids, you can still add decor that is spooky, gothic, or decidedly grown-up. This includes floral arrangements in darker shades with willow branches, leaves, and more. Our floral designers have stunning floral hues like burgundy the help you create this sophisticated decor for Halloween. Rustic and Charming If you are a fun of the country look, we also have more natural arrangements with wheat, leaves, and other rustic items arranged in wooden boxes or baskets.

Decorating Your Home with Autumn Floral Hues

The beauty of fall is that there is such a rich collection of colors that define the season. That gives us many ways to decorate that fit our home and personal style. Our Rome, Georgia flower shop and Cedartown flower shop both offer a fall collection of flowers that illustrate the range of colors available across our autumn floral products. Orange and Peach We equate the color orange with fall primarily because of pumpkins. This popular symbol of fall offers a fun way to decorate your home. Add pumpkins to your front porch along with other gourds. Or, you can use our ceramic pumpkin containers to display flowers throughout your home, including as a centerpiece. However, peach has grown in popularity as a fall color for more subdued floral designs, including elegant presentations that combine peach and cream flowers. Yellow Yellow is another popular hue for autumn due in large part to the use of sunflowers in rustic fall arrangements. Along with pumpkins, the sunflower is a cheerful way to celebrate the season, adding warmth as the weather changes to cooler temperatures. Of course, we also have other yellow flowers like roses to add sunshine to your fall decor. Metallic This year, we've noticed an increase in the use of metallic colors, including gold, bronze, and silver. This includes using these colors in the flowers, fall accents, and vases. The metallic tones add a bold and rich look to your fall decor, which also blends with both traditional and modern decor styles. Purple and Burgundy Considered regal colors, purple and burgundy add a bold color look to any room. While burgundy is often seen in fall floral displays, including stunning fall leaves, purple may not be a color necessarily associated with the season. However, it's a color choice that is [...]
