Grandparents Day is an annual opportunity to honor the legacy and history in our families, as well as to celebrate the keepers of the stories - our grandparents! Established in 1978, the holiday was the brainchild of Marian McQuade, a wife and mother who sought to create a time set aside for these special relationships. Far from looking for a commercial event, it was McQuade's vision that the day would be observed with family gatherings and reunions. Inherent in the times together, she hoped there would be mutual love and appreciation for all of the generations which comprised a family. She also felt that it was important for the younger generations to really get to know and love the matriarchs and patriarchs of the family.
If you are looking for a special way to honor them, Grandparents Day floral arrangements from Griffin's Floral Design are a great place to begin ! Read More about Grandparents Day Floral Arrangements »

When it is time to say goodbye to a loved one, it can be challenging to determine exactly which flowers are appropriate to send to the funeral service.

Which Flowers are Best? Gladioli are considered the customary flowers for funeral services, as they are called the "flower of remembrance". They carry the additional meaning of loyalty, the strength of character, and integrity. Gladioli are graceful, elongated stems of flowers that look like a sword, which is how they got their name (the sword of the gladiator). They occur in a wide variety of colors and add striking drama to any arrangement. Although gladioli have a traditional meaning, however, roses, carnations, and lilies are also very popular options when ordering custom funeral flowers.

This fall, approximately 2 million students will walk into a college dormitory for the first time, embarking on an exciting new adventure. While there is much to anticipate, young adults are also likely to be feeling more than a little anxious at the prospect of living away from home for the first time. You can cooperate in making the transition easier by helping your student to add homey touches to their dorm room decor that are both familiar and set a comfortable tone.
Did You Know? For every hour in class each week, most college students spend 3 hours studying. This means with a normal course load, studying equals a full-time job! We think this is a great reason to send them periodic care packages - after all, every college student needs snacks to get them through all-night study sessions. We can help - check out these delicious collections! Read More about Student Dorm Room Decor »

That’s why August 6 gives us such a wonderful opportunity to celebrate them.
