It’s Time for Seasonal Spring Flowers

By Breens Florist on February 16, 2017 in Flowers. 0 Comments

Thankfully, here in Houston, we don't have the cold weather and snow to deal with all winter. Still, new seasons are always exciting, and with the warming trends of spring come the new colors of the vivid flowers characteristic of this time of year. As designers, we love the opportunity to work with all of the exquisite spring blooms, and to create the artistic floral designs that you have come to associate with Breen's Florist. Whether a special occasion or "just because", don't miss your opportunity to enjoy these amazing flowers. Spring Herald: One of the first flowers of spring is always the crocus, which announces the arrival of the season when it pokes its head through the dirt. In colder parts of the country, it often pushes its way through the snow cover. That's one determined flower! Read More

International Women’s Day, Local & Global

By Breens Florist on February 7, 2017 in Floral Design, Flowers. 0 Comments

For over a century, International Women's Day has celebrated the social, cultural, political, and economic contributions and achievements of women. Recognized in 20 countries, the initiative has borne witness to a lot of victorious moments but has also confronted heartbreaking challenge and injustice. Looking ahead with bold confidence, the groups that make up the collective effort continue to work towards gender parity, social justice, equality for everyone. Those intimately involved with the movement are very aware that the responsibility for fighting for these rights doesn't fall on the shoulders of one entity - be it a non-profit, a corporation, a social action committee, or a government. Rather, true advancements are made when all band together with others around the globe. On March 8th, join the movement by posting your activities with the hashtag #BeBoldForChange. Read More

The Artistry of Floral Design

By Breens Florist on February 4, 2017 in Floral Design. 0 Comments

Floral Design Day is a day to celebrate the artistic flair and creativity of professional designers across the country. The day was originally established as a tribute to Carl Rittner, whose School of Floral Design was considered visionary and innovative, giving credence to the talent of florists everywhere and dispelling the myth that they simply "placed flowers in a vase". Applying the concepts of the visual arts - color, texture, space and line - the industry was elevated and recognized as an artistic discipline unto itself. For those who have dedicated their lives to making the world more beautiful - we celebrate you! Read More
