Floral Inspiration from Birthstones

When you are looking for the most beautiful bouquets and arrangements for your Sarasota celebrations of all kinds, look no further than the expertise and artistry of Beneva. When creating floral bouquets for birthdays, there are several places that designers may derive their inspiration. Each month has two symbols which represent it - a flower, and a birthstone. The birth flower of January is the carnation, and the birthstone of January is the garnet, a deep red gemstone.  Therefore both of these elements are a wonderful place to start when designing birthday gifts for those you love. Our birthstone collection incorporates the colors of the gem into designs specifically made for each month.  Read More about Floral Inspiration from Birthstones »
