Honoring Mother’s Day

Posted on April 16, 2018 by Breens Florist

Celebrating mothers and motherhood in general has become a global observance that varies in day of recognition and tradition based on culture and geography.

Item: 18MD01

Here in the United States our beloved Mother’s Day celebration is reserved forever on the second Sunday of each May thanks to a Presidential proclamation by then President Woodrow Wilson in 1914. In his heartfelt efforts to articulate the importance of a day dedicated to Mom’s he stated, “it is a chance to publicly express our love and reverence for the mothers of our country.” Here we are one hundred plus years later, a very different and diverse America, and we still get excited for the one day solely committed to Mom.

This excitement can also be found at all Houston area Breen’s Florist locations where designers have thoroughly enjoyed the task of creating custom designs for Mother’s Day 2018 for the past several weeks. Although the official flower of Mother’s Day is the carnation – specifically red and white – the design team has created a wide array of low and tall arrangements featuring many of the flowers that fall into the category of Mom’s favorite in lieu of carnation focused designs.

The Mother’s Day flowers you’ll choose from this year include Springtime crowd-pleasers like cymbidium orchids, fragrant roses, majestic delphinium, colorful hydrangea, stock, larkspur and so much more. And the designs are aptly named after the many positive attributes associated with being a beloved Mom. Names like “Runs Circles Around The Best,” “Helps Me Shine,” “The Multi-tasker,” “Enthusiastic and Fun,” “Multi-talented,” “My Supporter,” “Kind & Compassionate,” “Best Friend,” and “Unconditional Love” to name a few.

We invite you to scan our many options on the website to find the arrangement that best fits your Mom. It’s perfectly okay if more than one says what you want to say since our Breen’s delivery team of drivers are happy to deliver more than one arrangement to any location!!!!

The Perfect Flowers for Mother’s Day

Posted on April 15, 2018 by Breen's Florist

With Mother’s Day just a few weeks away, the time has come to find the perfect flowers for your mom.

If you’re like most people, you’ve probably spent a Mother’s Day or two scrambling around, trying to find the right, last-minute gift. Luckily, though, Mother’s Day isn’t for a few weeks, and you still have plenty of time to find the perfect gift for your mom. In our latest blog series, we went over a few of the many reasons why your mom deserves the most beautiful bouquet in the world this Mother’s Day, and if you’ve decided to surprise your mom with flowers this year, you’ve come to the right place. Here is a list of the flowers that make the very best Mother’s Day gifts:

Carnations – Carnations come in many different colors, and each color of carnation has its own unique meaning. For example, white carnations represent good luck and pure love, whereas red carnations represent admiration and affection. You can’t go wrong with any color of carnation for Mother’s Day, but our favorite is pink, which symbolizes a mother’s undying love.
Tulips – The colorful tulip is the perfect spring flower, and it’s wonderful for Mother’s day. From royalty and abundance to underlying passion and neglected love, tulips can symbolize many different things, and for Mother’s Day, our favorite meaning of a tulip is that it represents enduring love between family members.
Lilies – Most commonly, lilies symbolize virtue and charity, but they have many other meanings as well, including devotion, friendship and prosperity. Lilies are also the birth flower for the month of May, which makes them ideal for celebrating Mother’s Day this May.
Gerbera Daisies – If you’re hoping to brighten your mom’s Mother’s Day, you can’t go wrong with Gerbera daisies, which symbolize cheerfulness. These flowers are known for having large flowering heads that look a lot like a sunflower’s, only they come in a variety of bright colors, including yellow, red, pink and white.
Roses – Much like with carnations, roses come in a variety of colors, and you can use those colors to send different messages to the receiver. For example white roses signify reverence, purity and virtue, while dark pink roses symbolize gratitude and yellow roses symbolize devotion.
Orchids – Orchids are some of the most popular and highly sought after flowers for virtually any occasion, and Mother’s Day is no exception. Orchids have a rare and unique beauty that can’t be matched, and they are perfect for Mother’s day because they represent strength, love and beauty — all things Mothers themselves symbolize.

Let us help you find the perfect bouquet for Mother’s Day.

#5. She’s always there when you need her.

Sometimes, life is easy and everything goes your way. But, life is full of ups and downs, and when things aren’t exactly looking up, your mom is always there for you when you need her. More than anyone else in life, moms are dedicated to being the shoulder their kids can cry on, and they do so with love in their heart and smile on their face.

#6. She does anything and everything to ensure you are set up for success.

Throughout every generation, there have been moms working hard to ensure that their children have better opportunities than they did and are more set up for success. Whether your mom has given up her career to be home with you, helping you every day or she picked up an extra job to ensure there was always food on the table, mothers will do anything and everything to set their kids up for success.

#7. She’s accepting and forgiving.

A mom’s love is virtually impossible to shatter or compromise, which is certainly a good thing since we all stumble from time to time. No matter what you do, your mom is always there to forgive and accept you. Regardless of whether you accidentally totaled the car when you were out with your friends or you got fired from your job because of a mistake, your mom will be there to forgive you.

#8. She encourages you to be everything you can be.

Mothers always see potential in their kids. You can call it biased, but every mother thinks that their child is capable of the world, whether they want to grow up to be an astronaut or President of the United States. There are so many naysayers and negative Nancies throughout life. But, you can always turn to your mom for a little encouragement, because no matter what you do, she’ll always see the potential in you.

8 Reasons Your Mom Deserves Flowers This Mother’s Day

Posted on March 25, 2018 by Breen's Florist

Special occasion flowers make a beautiful gift for Mother’s Day.

Mother’s Day comes just once a year, and if you’re looking for a perfect gift to show your mom how appreciative you are of her and how much you care, the stunning special occasion flowers at Breen’s Florist are a great choice. But, what makes your mom so deserving of such a lovely Mother’s Day gift? Here are first few of the top eight reasons why your mom deserves flowers this Mother’s Day.

#1. She gave you life!

Without your mom, you wouldn’t be here. And, it’s not like bringing a child into the world is painless and easy. Your mom not only suffered through nine-months of aches, pains and discomfort, as well as hours of labor to bring you into this world, she also sacrificed her figure and her freedom just for you! No one else throughout your life can or will make the kind of sacrifices for you that your mom makes.

#2. She’s selfless for the other 364 days of the year.

Whether she’s delaying her own dinner to get someone a second helping or foregoing her yoga class to make sure she’s in the front row at your soccer games, moms do so much for their kids. One reason why it’s important to make Mother’s Day such a big deal is because moms give so much of themselves throughout every other day of the year, and it’s the one day dedicated to saying thank you for everything she’s done.

#3. She put up with you throughout your teenage years.

The teen years are hard for everyone. It’s just not easy to figure out who you are, and the bad hair, angst and cringe-worthy attitudes don’t exactly help. Moms put up with a lot throughout their children’s lives, and for many moms, the most challenging years are their child’s teen years. Whether you irrationally yelled at your mom during the peak of your hormonal bonanza or you snuck out of the house on a nightly basis, say thank you to your mom for putting up with your teen years with a bouquet of flowers!

#4. She’s always been there to support your dreams.

Moms want the world for their children. That’s why, no matter how big or crazy your dream is, your mom is always there, cheering you on. Even when teachers, friends and even other family members tell you that you can’t do something, your mom is there, doing whatever she can to help your dream come true.

These are just the first four reasons why your mom deserves the most beautiful bouquet of flowers in the world for Mother’s Day. Learn about the last four reasons when you stay tuned for our next blog!

Are you ready to start finding the perfect flowers for your mom this Mother’s Day? At Breen’s Florist, we offer a variety of stunning bouquets made just for Mother’s Day, and we’re confident that we have the perfect option for your mom! Shop our special occasion flowers in Pasadena online now.

The Perfect Flowers for Your Easter Sunday

Posted on March 15, 2018 by Breen's Florist

Flowers are the perfect option for Easter.

Whether you’re hoping to brighten someone’s day, celebrate your faith or give your loved one a gift that won’t rot their teeth, flowers are the perfect answer for Easter. Not only is Easter a fantastic holiday that is celebrated throughout the Christian faith, it also marks the beginning of spring. And, what better way to celebrate spring than with beautiful flowers? If you’re looking for the perfect flowers to commemorate Easter and welcome in the spring, you’ve come to the right place. Here’s a list of some of the best flowers for Easter Sunday.

Easter Lily

You can’t mention Easter flowers without talking about the Easter lily. In mythology, it is said that Easter lilies first grew where the blood of Christ fell to the ground as he was hanging on the cross. These lilies were also said to have grown on Jesus’s tomb. These stunning white lilies symbolize purity, hope and love, which make them perfect for both Easter and spring.

Tulip

While tulips are annuals in some climates, in other climates, they are perennials. Perennial tulips are some of the first flowers to bloom in the spring, and when they rise up from the ground, it’s almost as if they are rising from the dead. This is one of the more obvious reasons why tulips are an ideal flower for Easter, and they also symbolize belief, passion and love, which makes them even more important for that special day.

Easter Cactus

The Easter Cactus sprouts beautiful, red blossoms that appear just around Easter time in the Northern Hemisphere. The sheer fact that Easter cactus blossoms in the spring makes it easy to understand why these flowers are perfect for Easter, but they also are a symbol of resurrection and rebirth.

Daisy

There are many legends and myths that tie daisies to Easter. In one, daisies originally sprang from the ground from the tears of the Virgin Mary, when she wept as Jesus was crucified. Another legend tying daisies to Jesus says that the wise men who followed the North Start to find Jesus were able to find the right stable because the daisies growing around it resembled the star they followed to get there. They are also perfect for both Easter and spring because they symbolize innocence, purity, loyalty and gentleness.

Daffodil

Like many of the flowers we’ve talked about, the legend of the origin of daffodils is also rooted in Easter. The legend says that Jesus was comforted by the first daffodil, which appeared in the garden of Gethsemane right before he was taken away for crucifixion. Daffodils symbolize rebirth and new beginnings, which is the epitome of both Easter and the spring season.

Hyacinth

Hyacinths are the perfect spring flower. They bloom early in the spring, and they come in a variety of beautiful colors associated with Easter, including white, pink, yellow and many different shades of purple. Hyacinths symbolize play and sport, and what’s the first thing most of us do in those initial warm, sunny days of spring? We get outside and play!

Let us help you celebrate Easter and welcome in the spring with the perfect flowers!

At Breen’s Florist, we’re proud to say that, when you want buy flowers in Pasadena, there’s no better flower shop to turn to.

Go Green This St Patrick’s Day

Posted on March 13, 2018 by Breens Florist

As we approach St. Patrick’s Day our work, restaurant and school environments become increasingly greener (so to speak), in various shades of bright shamrock and deep emerald greens. Themed décor of leprechauns, four-leaf clovers, and all things Irish seem to appear as quickly as they disappear once the parades end and the green beer runs dry at your favorite local pub. While the sights and sounds of St. Patrick’s Day are always festive, we rarely hear anyone tout disappoint when the decorations come down since posters and cutouts of clovers, rainbows with gold pots and little green clad men are rarely impressive. “Our Patty’s Day décor is so gorgeous its Pinterest worthy,” said no one ever!

Here at Breen’s Florist we seemingly have the “luck of the Irish” for this occasion as many of our clients enjoy taking advantage of this week by choosing floral arrangements in different shades of green. This approach lends itself to an endless array of creative options for St. Patrick’s Day floral décor that can range from classy to whimsical, elegant to trendy, modern to sophisticated.

We recommend getting creative inspiration this time of year with green flowers like Shamrock Hydrangea, Bells of Ireland, Hypericum, Gladiolas, Lisianthus, Roses and Cymbidium Orchids to name a few. Give us a call at 713-227-3367 if you’d like to hear about even more green flower and accompanying green foliage ideas.

Yes, you can have St. Patrick’s Day décor in flowers that gives you many more options than the paper decoration that are not always appropriate for the overall look and feel you have established at your place of business. And when it comes to the sentiment of wishing someone a day filled with “the luck of the Irish” we can appreciate that thoughtful exchange because we feel lucky every day for our Breen’s clients.

Why and How to Incorporate More Flowers into Your Life Part 2

Posted on March 5, 2018 by Breen's Florist

From boosting your mood to relieving stress, there are many benefits to being around flowers more often.

Most people think flowers are just nice to look at and smell, but they don’t realize just how powerful flowers can be in so many aspects of their lives. Whether you’re hoping to become more productive at work, improve your relationships, get a better night’s sleep or just improve your mood, having more flowers around can help. Buying fresh flowers to display is certainly one great way to enjoy the benefits, but there are lots of creative ways to incorporate more flowers in your day-to-day life. Check out Part 1 of this series to learn about a couple of great ways to incorporate more flowers into your life, and keep reading to learn more helpful tips!

Plant your own flower garden.

Not all flowers have to be bought from a florist! If you love enjoying flowers at home, one of the best ways to ensure that you constantly have plenty of flowers around is by planting a garden. Not only will you benefit from the fruits of your labor — which are the flowers themselves when they blossom and come to life — but the act of gardening in itself has a plethora of benefits that will make you feel better on both a mental and physical level.

Sneak flowers into your beauty routine.

Whether you’re trying to fight the signs of aging or make your skin-tone more even, you have more options than just what’s available in the skin care aisle of the store or your local Sephora. In fact, essential oils derived from many different kinds of flowers have powerful, all-natural properties that can enhance your beauty routine like never before. For example, rosehip oil will help to reverse damage to the skin and even out the tone, lavender helps to keep the blemishes at bay and rose oil has anti-aging properties. As a general rule of thumb, always make sure that you are buying food-grade essential oils, and you never want to use more than a few drops at a time. Also, be sure to do your research as to learn the best methods of enjoying the specific essential oils you choose.

Use flowers to freshen up your hairstyle.

When most people think of wearing flowers in their hair, they imagine the flower crowns beloved by hippies and brides. But, you don’t need to be a flower child to rock this look, and it doesn’t have to be as dramatic as a full flower crown either. In fact, just a small flower tucked behind the ear or clipped into a ponytail can make a big difference. Not only will it add a new level of beauty to your look, but it will also make you smell amazing!

Start your day with flower in your tea.

Not all tea has to be Earl Grey or English Breakfast. There are so many incredible floral teas out there that any tea-lover should try. One of our favorites is chrysanthemum tea. The flower in this tea actually blossoms as it steeps in the hot water, and it’s been used for thousands of years in Chinese medicine to calm anxiety and reduce inflammation. Some other floral teas you won’t want to miss include jasmine, hibiscus, lavender, orange blossom, rose and chamomile.

Why and How to Incorporate More Flowers into Your Life

Posted on February 25, 2018 by Breen's Florist

There are so many reasons to start enjoying more flowers in your day-to-day life.

To most people, flowers are beautiful and nice to look at, but that’s about as far as it goes. But, did you know that there are actually benefits to having more flowers into your life? That’s right, there are more reasons than you might think to include more flowers in your life.

Why incorporate more flowers into your life?

They’ll make you happy – Want a quick way to boost your mood? Go out and buy yourself some flowers! Through aromatherapy, simply being around flowers can be an almost-instant mood booster.
They’ll make you more productive – Did you know that having flowers and other plants in your workplace can make you more productive? Studies have shown that the presence of flowers increases concentration and productivity.
They’ll help to relieve your stress – Life isn’t always sunshine and daisies, but with flowers around, it’s easier to cope with the stress of everyday life. Flowers help to promote calmness in the short term. A study conducted by Kansas State University in 2008 found that patients in hospitals with flowers in their rooms felt less anxious than patients without flowers.
They’ll help you sleep better – Most of us, at some point or another, have had trouble getting to sleep at night, but if it feels like you never get a full night’s sleep, try adding more flowers into your life. Some flowers — lavender, gardenias and jasmine, just to name a few — can help to soothe you so that you can get to sleep at night.
They’ll help to reduce conflict in your relationships – Flowers are not a replacement for therapy, but you’d be surprised at what a difference just having flowers around can make in your relationship. Why? Because flowers help to promote compassion and thoughtfulness, and both of those things are valuable in any relationship.

The fact of the matter is that there are so many benefits to being around flowers more, and these are just a few of them. But, how do you incorporate more flowers into your life to enjoy the many benefits? Keep reading to find out!

How to make flowers a bigger part of your life.

Contrary to popular belief, you don’t have to wait for someone to deliver flowers to your door in order to enjoy them. In fact, flower delivery is just of the many things that can help you enjoy more flowers in your day-to-day life. Here are a few more things you can do to incorporate more flowers into your life:

Decorate with dried flowers.

Who says flowers have to be fresh in order to be enjoyable? While dried flowers may not smell or look quite like they once did, they have a unique charm of their own that you’re sure to love. When you buy or receive a bouquet of flowers, and they start looking a little worse for the wear, the last thing you want to do is throw them away. Instead, keep them and dry them so that you can decorate your home with them.

Use flowers for an all-natural sleep aid.

As we mentioned, aromatherapy with some flowers can help to promote better sleep quality. Although there are many flowers that can aid in sleep and relaxation, none compare to lavender. If you’re having a hard time sleeping at night, dry some lavender and put the dried petals on your side table or even under your pillow!

Want to learn about more ways to incorporate flowers into your life? If so, stay tuned for our next blog. In the meantime, if you’re ready to start enjoying the many benefits of having more flowers around, take advantage of flower delivery in Spring from Breen’s Florist today!

What Rose Color Means What?

Posted on January 31, 2018 by Breen's Florist

Valentine’s Day is right around the corner, and that means just one thing: flowers! You simply cannot show up to your dinner reservations, or whatever plans you have on February 14th, without having a bouquet of flowers to give your special someone. Red roses are a staple, and go a long way in showing your feelings and appreciation toward the one you love.

That said, what if you are choosing to celebrate the day of love with your family or a group of friends? If this is the case, and you still want to include special occasion flowers into the plans, then you might not want to gift red roses. After all, that is incredibly romantic, and we have to be realistic — not every Valentine’s Day is as romantic as you always want it to be. Sometimes spending the day with your close gal pals, your mom, sister, or even your entire family is the best way to celebrate.

Special occasion flowers are perfect for Valentine’s Day. Why? Because no matter what your plans are or who they are with, you can also incorporate a beautiful bouquet of blooms into the mix. Even if you’re purchasing them for yourself (nothing wrong with that!), having some roses next to you makes all the difference.

When it comes to buying flowers for your significant other, or someone who you want to be your significant other, you tend to go with red roses. Traditionally, red roses symbolize love and romance, and they are a timeless way to simply say, “I love you.” But what if you want to gift someone something a little more unique this Valentine’s Day? Roses come in all shapes, sizes, and colors, and finding some that push the envelope from the conventional red might be exactly what you need to express your love to your significant other, or your platonic friends.

In today’s post, we’re going to list out your rose color options and what each color means. If you’re looking for roses for Valentine’s Day, or special occasions flowers in general, don’t hesitate to contact Breen’s Florist.

Light Pink Roses – Red roses are beautiful, but there is such simplicity in a bouquet of light pink roses. While they can still represent love, pink roses technically mean “grace.” If you’re looking to give special occasion flowers to your close friends, sisters, or even mother, light pink roses are a wonderful, whimsical option.

Dark Pink Roses — Pink colors, in general, represent femininity and grace. And darker pink colors hint at appreciation. The two symbolisms together make for the most meaningful rose that you can gift your girlfriend, wife, or close platonic friends and family members.

Yellow Roses — Yellow roses are exactly what they look like: pure joy! The bright color adds some life and happiness into any situation, which is what makes this option ideal for any platonic Valentine’s Day gift giving. Plus, they’ll brighten up the room in a matter of moments!

Green Roses — Green isn’t necessarily the most romantic or whimsical color… that is, unless it’s a green rose. Green roses represent rejuvenation, refreshment, and energy. Whether you choose to gift these as they are or in a bouquet of other mixed flowers, you can’t go wrong with the lively look and feel of these roses.

White Roses — If you’ve noticed white roses included in weddings, you’ll now know why. Not only are they beautiful, elegant, and simple, but white roses symbolize purity, innocence, and new beginnings. That said, you don’t necessarily need a reason to include these simple blooms into your Valentine’s Day floral arrangements other than they are absolutely stunning to look at.

Peach Roses — You’ll be hard-pressed to find someone who doesn’t love the look of a peach-colored rose. According to Passion Growers, this rose options signifies gratitude and appreciation, making it an excellent option to give your significant other, or even a close friend or family member.

Orange Roses — If you like the look of peach roses, but are looking for something a bit more vibrant, orange roses are the way to go. Symbolizing excitement and enthusiasm, you’ll have no problem adding a little sprightliness into your Valentine’s Day with a bouquet of orange blooms.

Lavender Roses — Equal parts whimsical and elegant, lavender roses represent enchantment. They’re beautiful on their own or combined with other blooms in a large rose bouquet. The look and feel of the lavender rose can be as romantic as you want it to be, or simple and sweet. They are a versatile option for anyone wanting to express their love and desire romantically or platonically.

Burgundy Roses — Red roses are elegant, but burgundy roses are a little more intense. If you’re looking to change it up from the classic red rose, burgundy is your option. Representing beauty, these striking blooms will create a romantic air immediately.

No matter how you’re choosing to celebrate Valentine’s Day this year, let Breen’s Florist help you with your floral arrangements. However you’re spending the day and with whoever you’ll be with, let a bouquet of special arrangement flowers make the day a little more special. Keep your Valentine’s flowers simple and classic with romantic red roses, or change it up with the other color options. Whatever you choose, Breen’s Florist is here to help. Give us a call and order your flower delivery today.

Be Prepared This Valentine’s Day With These Gift Ideas

Posted on January 29, 2018 by Breen's Florist

Valentine’s Day is right around the corner. Yes, it seems like Christmas was just last week, but it’s now time to trade in the holiday lights and tree (that you haven’t taken down yet…) for pink and red boxes of chocolates and special occasion flowers for Valentine’s Day. That said, we understand that planning for Valentine’s Day can be tricky some years. Since it feels like the month of January has flown by, making any large preparations for February 14th just hasn’t made a spot on the docket. But just because you’re feeling time-crunched doesn’t mean that you can’t still make Valentine’s Day a special experience for whoever you’re celebrating with.

Today we want to give you some ideas for gift-giving this Valentine’s Day. These are the essentials — the items you don’t want to show up without. Whether you have made dinner reservations at your favorite restaurant or you’re planning on cooking a romantic meal at home, you’re going to want to include these items in your celebration.

Chocolate

Like we briefly alluded to above, Valentine’s Day is nothing without the token heart-shaped box of chocolates. There really isn’t a better way to say, “I love you” than by showering your special someone with chocolate galore. One of the great things about giving chocolate is that it’s so simple, yet so effective, and you have many options. Do they like dark chocolate, milk chocolate, or both? Or, perhaps they aren’t a fan of chocolate, but enjoy other sweet treats. If this is the case, surprise them with their favorite box of candy, their favorite pastry or baked good, or even a pint of their favorite ice cream. Valentine’s Day is a time to indulge, so you’re not going to want to forget something sweet.

Heartfelt, Handwritten Card

While it’s always fun receiving (and giving!) little gifts and treats to your loved one, nothing can replace a thoughtful, handwritten card. Whether you’re treating your special someone to a glittering piece of jewelry, or you’re keeping it simple this year, you’re not going to want to forget a card. Take the time to pick out one at the store and share your thoughts, love, and appreciation via written word inside. Even though this is such a small effort, the gesture will be meaningful and something that will be remembered for years to come.

Special Occasion Flowers

Aside from the chocolate, the card, and maybe even their favorite bottle of wine, the one thing you don’t want to show up without is flowers. Gifting or sending flowers, in general, is an excellent way of sharing your love and appreciation for someone, but when it comes to special occasion flowers, they tend to mean more. Here at Breen’s Florist, we know the importance of giving and receiving flowers, no matter the occasion, but especially on Valentine’s Day. The last thing you want is to show up empty handed, so make sure you have a bouquet of roses to gift. Take a look at our rose floral arrangements and order your special occasion flowers from Breen’s today.
