The Traditional Lily

Chocolate bunnies, Easter egg hunts, and sunrise church services are Easter traditions, and in the flower world, the Easter lily is the traditional flower. Considered a symbol of purity, hope and life, the large, white trumpet-shaped flowers of Easter lilies grace the sanctuaries of many churches and homes on Easter. In fact, about 13 percent of the year’s floral purchases are made for Passover and Easter with lilies leading the list of most sought after flower.

The Easter season is filled with legends and folklore about the lily and its religious significance. The lily is the traditional flower of Easter and is regarded as a joyful symbol of beauty, elegance, spirituality, and hope. In Christendom the lily has come to symbolize the resurrection, but did you ever wonder about the history and significance of this symbolic flower which adds elegance and fragrance to millions of homes and churches during the spring time?

Louis Houghton, a World War I soldier, is the one to thank for the popularity of the lily. In 1919 he brought a suitcase full of lily bulbs to the southern coast of Oregon and gave them to family and friends. The Oregon climate was ideal for growing this lily, a native of the Ryukyu Islands of Japan, and by 1945, thousands west coast growers were producing bulbs for the commercial market.

The Asiatic Lilies White collection contains the hardiest of all the lily hybrids. This box contains 120 individual stems of 26 -28″ long white Asiatic Lilies. Please make sure to set your delivery date 4 days prior to the event to give the flowers enough time to open.

Filling millions of homes and churches, the flowers embody joy, hope and life. As a gift or enjoyed in your home, the lily is a beautiful reminder that Easter is a time for celebrating and rejoicing.

The Perfect Wedding Day Accessory

The perfect wedding day accessory is a beautiful, eye catching centerpiece matching your wedding style and color palette. Whether you are planning an outdoor country wedding, or an evening black and white affair, flowers will make all the difference. You can easily create an ambiance of majesty and splendor at your wedding reception with the exquisite fresh cut flowers from Globalrose.com. Your celebration should be spectacular! Captivate and delight your guests with gorgeous, lush flowers wherever the venue.

Outdoor weddings and receptions are unmistakably beautiful, but an outdoor reception brings problems that aren’t an issue for indoor events. The sun, wind, and pesky bugs need to be considered when choosing centerpieces for your outdoor reception. An interesting choice might be to use low vases to prevent centerpieces from blowing over. Some flowers will wilt in the heat faster than others, so choose varieties that don’t wither and keep them in the shade as much as possible. Remember that darker hues will attract wasps and other insects, so try to limit their use.

Traditionally, the arrangements selected to go on the tables will incorporate elements that mimic the flowers carried by the bride and her bridesmaids. However, it’s crucial to work with the aesthetic of the venue itself. When outdoors, try working with natural elements such as branches and wild flower sprigs. Earthy green accents such as those in the Fresh Breeze collection provide a great pop of color on an outdoor table. Each arrangement includes a vase and white roses, Bells of Ireland ruscus, white Asiatic lilies, white mums, green carnations and green pompoms. Add beautiful hints of color with Gerbera Daisies from the Gerbera Daisy Flowers collection. They come in a variety of fun and festive colors and are 3 to 5 inches wide. You might also try using grasses and mosses to offset more formal elements, such as white lilies from the White Calla Lilies 36 Flowers or clusters of hydrangeas from the Hydrangea Assorted 40 Flowers collection.

If you have decided on an indoor reception, consider how formal the wedding is. If the venue is sheathed with romantic fabrics and mood-setting lights, then a more opulent flower arrangement is appropriate. Towering vases with a cascade of flowers is a foolproof way to impress any guest. Add further wonder and awe to the arrangement by adding twinkling pieces of crystal and other interesting elements.

The Royal Light Pink & Ivory Roses Three Centerpiece collection highlights a simple elegance with light pink and ivory roses. There are three centerpieces per box that include a total of 21 roses and 13 ruscus. Add classic fillers flowers such as Limonium, Asters, Leatherleaf or Gypsophila that can be found in Fillers Combo Pack Flowers collection. Vases are not included with the Royal Light Pink & Ivory Roses Three Centerpiece collection, so we suggest vases that measure 5″ to 9″ inches in height with an opening of 3″ to 5″ inches wide. For all wedding flowers we recommend that your delivery date be two or three days before your event and to order at them least 10 days before that date. Your wedding flowers are shipped absolutely fresh, direct from the greenhouses to you via FedEx. Globalrose sells wholesale flowers and wholesale roses at prices that are lower than most local wholesalers.

Everyone is Irish on March 17!

“There are only two kinds of people in the world,” an Irish saying goes. “The Irish and those who wish they were.” But for 24 hours on March 17, that saying is a pot o’ blarney. On St. Patrick’s Day, everyone is Irish!
St. Patrick’s Day was originally a feast day for Ireland’s patron saint and was celebrated only in Ireland before the 1600s. It evolved into a secular holiday in the mid-1700s when Irish immigrants in the United States started holding some of the first St. Patrick’s Day parades. Much more than shows of patriotism, the parades were an opportunity for Irish immigrants to make a political statement about their discontent with their low social status in America. Today, St. Patrick’s Day is a pancontinental celebration of Irish culture abounding with festive food and traditions.

But why all the green? According to some historic accounts, blue was the first color associated with St. Patrick’s Day, but in the 17th century, green began to be more prevalent since it was one of the colors in Ireland’s tri-color flag which had been used in the flags of several Irish revolutionary groups throughout history. Ireland is known as the “Emerald Isle,” so named for its lush green landscape, and it is also the color of spring and the shamrock.

green-carnations-globalroseShower your friends and loved ones with green this St Patrick’s. The Saint Patrick’s Green Carnations 200 box contains 8 bunches of 25 carnations each. Each carnation is 20″ inches long, perfect to pair with a few sprigs from the Mixed Greens Combo Flowers. Tie them with a green ribbon, and for 24 hours everyone will be Irish!
