The Art of Giving Flowers

Happy Father's Day

Father’s Day is fast approaching. I don't believe that this  special holiday requires gift giving. Just spending time together is often enough and all that dad really wants. But, if you need to get something, flowers are a great choice – a little out of the box you might think, but a gift that he will enjoy.


If your father is a gardener and loves the outdoors, flowers are a perfect way to bring the outdoors inside and allows him to enjoy the flowers he works hard to cultivate.


I usually recommend strong, bright colors like blue, yellow, orange or red because these colors don’t appear whimpy or feminine.  If your special dad has a favorite color or flower then go for it – you won’t be sorry.

There are a multitude of containers that you can choose to display flowers that are unusual or more "manly” if that is what you think he needs.  I have seen specialty containers that are designed with dad in mind, cars, trucks even barbeque grills - I don’t carry them because they don’t appeal to the Greenwich crowd.


Have fun and be creative by using flowers to showcase something else that your dad likes. For one customer we sent a beautiful centerpiece that was perfect for the family dinner but the arrangement had a surprise for the man of the house – a selection of his favorite cigars complete with matches and a clipper.

These Father’s Day flowers were a BIG hit and  funforgettable.
