Welcome to the Globalrose Blog

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. 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 found in the 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.

When ordering your wedding flowers we recommend that your delivery date be a day or two before your event and that you order at them least 10 days before that date. Your wedding flowers are shipped absolutely fresh, direct from the greenhouses to you via FedEx. When you choose Globalrose, you will see that they sell wholesale flowers and wholesale roses at prices that are lower than most local wholesalers.

Mom has been our number one fan, cheering us on through life’s major highs and comforting us through life’s lows as well. We honor Mom on Mother’s Day because it is one day – with deep historical roots, mind you, that is truly hers. Aside from her birthday, it’s the day we take pride in the fact that she is our Mother, and that deep down, we are her biggest fan, too.

And while Mom is number one in our life, we know that there are other women in our lives who may not be our actual mothers, but who love, support and protect us just the same. The Grandmothers, Aunts and Sisters in our lives are also fiercely loyal to us. They often serve as a stand-in for Mom when she is ill, having a brother or sister, or just needs a break! They are the keepers of family history and stories and will share with you family heirlooms – baseball cards, jewelry, and beloved recipes. Special teachers and care providers also deserve special recognition for being just like a mom in so many ways. Mom may be number one in our heart, but there is always room for Grandma, Auntie, Sis and Teacher!

So this Mother’s Day, shower Mom with all you’ve got, but honor your extended female support system too! Visit Globalrose.com and click on “Bouquets” on the top bar of our home page. Scroll down to “Mother’s Day Arrangements” and “Mother’s Day Bouquets.” View all the superb bouquets that Globalrose has to offer. Bouquets and Arrangements come several to a box, but each come with the freshest blooms you will find anywhere online. Host a Mother’s Day brunch at your home and decorate your buffet table with several arrangements in family heirloom containers. As part of the floral arrangement, place a card in the arrangement, using a floral pick if you wish, and thank the “Other Mom” with a special memory – funny or poignant – that the two of you once shared. As your guests are departing, present the ladies with their bouquet and the lovely memory that is special to just the two of you. Who knows? You may have just come up with the newest family tradition!

Fluffy and with a high petal count that flows like the most decadent of  puffed-up dresses, the peony is a flower with an ancient acclaim that has been cultivated for thousand upon thousands of years. Understood as the flower of prosperity and great fortune, these blooms have been adding ornamental value to gardens for ages. Known as a rose of sorts by some, it is easy to find their beauty captured in many artistic venues.

Yet they were not only praised for their beauty, they have been used for medicinal purposes since before they graced gardens. In fact, the name “peony” is inspired by the physician of the ancient Greek gods, Paian. This plant is named by him after the episode in which he used it to cure Hercules, god of the underworld, after he had been wounded by Hercules.

These flowers have also been quite famous in China for such purposes and even have an interesting story behind them regarding the Tang dynasty. Apparently they were the only flowers that refused to listen to the demands of the Empress Wu Zetian and bloom in the winter. Due to their defiance, she demanded they be uprooted from the imperial gardens as well as from all gardens in the capital city.

Despite such a violent attack of  murder on their kind, peonies have survived as a race for they forever endure in the hearts of their enchanted observers. Bring these flowers, enriched with historical background and having witnessed so much of the trials, tribulations, romances and celebrations of humanity into your life as well.
