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!

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!

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.

Patriotic Arrangements to Celebrate the Fourth

Posted on June 20, 2017 by Breens Florist

The Fourth of July is almost here- and that means outdoor fun, barbecue, and fireworks! It also means good times with friends and family. Whether you are joining the fun or hosting your own Independence Day event, the collection of 4^th of July patriotic arrangements at Breen’s Florist will brighten any party.

The festive bouquet shown above resembles the fireworks you’ve come to expect each Fourth of July, and is even named after the display! Fireworks showcases blue delphinium, red carnations, and white spider mums, which combine for a bright July 4^th display.

Fun Fact: The Star-Spangled Banner, our beloved national anthem penned by Francis Scott Key, was originally written as a poem! Key observed the attack on Fort McHenry during the War of 1812 and wrote the poem that would later be put to music. It was chosen as our national anthem in 1931.

Our Party in the USA design, featured above, includes red roses, white star-shaped lilies and blue hydrangea. Together these blooms create an elegant design that will enhance any Independence Day celebration.

What to Do on The Fourth: Gather the family and head down to Buffalo Bayou for Houston’s main Independence Day event – Freedom Over Texas, sponsored by Citgo. You’ll find live music, family activities, and the best fireworks show in Houston.
Red Gerbera daisies are set against white hydrangea and accented by blue delphinium and an American flag. The Coming to America bouquet is one of our favorite patriotic arrangements and will fit right in at every Fourth of July gathering.

Whether you choose to celebrate at home, with friends or out on the town, Breen’s Florist is here to help you make the most of any Houston celebration this Fourth of July. Choose one of our spectacular designs, or talk to our floral experts about creating the perfect addition to your patriotic day.

For Father’s Day gifts that are unexpectedly beautiful, come to Breen’s Florist.

Did You Know? Father’s Day is a relatively new holiday, established in 1966 by President Lyndon Johnson. The inspiration behind the holiday was William Smart, a single dad who had raised 6 children single handedly.

Even though it was decades in the making, Father’s Day was finally recognized. Continue reading →
