Give Them Flowers To Beat The Winter Blues

By beneva on December 26, 2017 in Information. 0 Comments

Let's face it, we're more likely to get sick in the winter. Even here in Florida, when the temperature dips and the heat goes on, we gather indoors and are more likely to share the colds that befall us. At Beneva Flowers, we have an entire section of get well flowers guaranteed to brighten up anyone's day. Research shows that flowers do so much to lift our spirits and improve our outlook, and it goes on to show that fresh blooms have positive impacts on health, too. Patients who have flowers in their hospital room, for instance, have lower blood pressure and rely less on pain medication than their counterparts. Besides, they just look pretty.

A Winter Centerpiece With Class

By beneva on December 21, 2017 in Information. 0 Comments

There's no shortage of floral designs in winter. The holidays charge our decor with purpose, making use of all that the season has to offer, from blooms and greens to holly berry and pine cone. And while we here at Beneva Flowers have a lot of fun conjuring up holiday designs, we've got winter flower styles that speak to the whole season, too. In Florida, we may not readily distinguish between winter bloomers and flowers that come to fruition during the warmer months, but that doesn't mean we shouldn't change up our flower game in December and January.

Experts tell us that across the United States, the most popular month for weddings is June. Of course, here in South Florida, the weather is quite different than most of the country. So although June has been deemed National Wedding Month, in Sarasota it is far from the most popular month to tie the knot. Therefore, to commemorate this occasion, we thought we would share a bit about Sarasota weddings and traditional anniversary flowers that transcend any season.  Read More about Anniversaries & Wedding Celebrations

Beautiful Roses Showcased in June

By beneva on May 31, 2017 in Information. 0 Comments

We probably don't need any reason or excuse to celebrate beautiful roses, but this month gives us that opportunity. June is National Rose Month, and is your chance to send a gorgeous bouquet of these classic beauties to those you love. Although a go-to flower for weddings, anniversaries, birthdays and more, you can give roses any day of the year, all year long. At this time of year, we love the bright, vivid vibrancy of summer roses, and you can get them from Beneva Flowers. Did You Know? Roses grow in every color except true-blue and black. They actually lack a gene necessary to create that color in their petals. Roses billed as "black roses" are actually a deep, dark red color. Read More about Beautiful Roses Showcased in June

Memorial Day Floral Arrangements

Although Memorial Day originated following the Civil War (when it was named Decoration Day), the sentiment of honor and respect has remained intact. This day has always been set apart as a day of remembrance, and continues to give us a chance to not only show esteem to those who paid the ultimate price for freedom, but to extend sympathy and compassion to spouses, siblings, or parents who may be mourning a loss. No matter who you wish to recognize on Memorial Day, you can count on Beneva Flowers to provide the beautiful floral arrangements you'll need to commemorate the occasion. Memorial Day in Sarasota - On Sarasota, May 27 at 7:45 a.m. join other residents at the Sarasota National Cemetery to place flags at veteran's grave sites.

Women’s Day Celebrations Around the World

By beneva on February 6, 2017 in Events, Flowers, Information. 0 Comments

International Women's Day is a worldwide observance of the social, economic, cultural and political achievements of women everywhere. Recognized since in the early 1900's, the initiative believes that no single institution, corporation, charity, or government is solely responsible for the movement. Instead, they believe that all like-minded people should stand shoulder-to-shoulder to fight for justice and equality for women, no matter where they live. International Women's Day inspires unity, promotes reflection, supports advocacy and encourages action. A  Worldwide Social Gathering: On March 8, men and women alike will be involved events that take place both locally and globally. The organizers of the celebration urge everyone to tell the world about their support by tagging social media posts with #BeBoldforChange. Read More about Women’s Day Celebrations Around the World

February Celebrates National Wedding Month

By beneva on January 24, 2017 in Flowers, Information, Weddings. 0 Comments

According to the National Association of Bridal Consultants, February is National Wedding Month. While that designation makes sense in Sarasota - where we enjoy wedding ceremonies drenched in sunshine all year long - it may seem a bit confusing in colder climes. However, there are several reasons the month makes sense as one to celebrate weddings. After all, February offers us Valentine's Day, the reigning king of the romantic holiday. Here at Beneva Flowers, romance is in the air during February and all year-round! There will be 2.4 million weddings this year nationwide, and a great number of those couples got engaged on Valentine's Day. However, one of the main reasons February is known as National Wedding Month is that February 14th is a top choice for a wedding day as well.  And although it only happens once every 4 years, February 29th of Leap Year is a wildly popular day for couples to tie the knot.
