Roses, Roses, Roses For Valentine’s Day

Valentine’s Day is an exciting occasion for the Beneva Flowers team. We feel deeply honored to be able to help our customers send the loves of their lives, a floral gift that conveys their romantic sentiments. It seems like red roses have been the floral symbol of Valentine’s Day since time immemorial. Seriously, though, we can’t think of a better way to tell someone you love them or make a marriage proposal - since Valentine’s Day proposals are quite popular because of the symbolism associated with the day.

Pantone’s Color Of The Year In Flowers

By flowermanager on January 21, 2018 in Flowers. 0 Comments

Every year, a group of color experts at Pantone® choose a color to designate as the color of that year. For 2018, they selected UltraViolet, a color that is a combination of red and blue. There are many shades of purple, but Ultra Violet is neither dark or light. It’s vibrant, bold, and above all, bright. We challenged the Beneva Flowers team of artisans and floral designers to come up with ideas that incorporate this dramatic color into an elegant and sophisticated arrangement. Read More

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. Read More

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.

2018’s Modern Nature

By beneva on December 15, 2017 in Flowers. 0 Comments

International Floral Distributors has identified four floral design trends for 2018, and though we here at Beneva Flowers are in love with them all, there's one that really feels near and dear to our heart. It's a look we think we've perfected, and one that makes a big impact in the home. IFD calls it "Incarnation of Earths Element," a definite mouthful, but an accurate one. This style embodies organic minimalism. It's earthy and rustic, yet when paired with geometric shapes (or sculpted into them) becomes contemporary. We're calling it modern nature. Read More

Impress Them With Your Secret Santa Gift

By beneva on December 1, 2017 in Christmas. 0 Comments

Secret Santa - a group gift swap where presents are given anonymously - has been around for a very long time. It can be traced to Scandinavia, in fact, where it first existed as the "Julklapp" or "Christmas Knock," which was carried off by a very Santa Claus-like figure. Back then, if you heard a knock on your door, you'd open it to find a gift and no one there. The giver would have run off, preserving his anonymity. Sometimes, he'd leave a few lines of verse behind as a clue with his gift. Today, variations on the Secret Santa theme cross the globe, each with their own take. Here in the U.S., we typically draw names to find out who we'll be buying for. Then, we select our gift, wrap it up and leave it for them to find. After that, it's a guessing game. At Beneva Flowers, we want to help you pick out the perfect thing for your recipient this year. Read More
