Red Rules for Veterans Day

By beneva on October 27, 2017 in Plants. 0 Comments

Every year, November 11 brings us Veterans Day, a time reserved to honor both our active and retired military and to reflect on their brave efforts to keep our country safe. It's also an occasion to personally thank them for their service, and we here at Beneva Flowers & Plantscapes know a little something about that. If you're going to send a floral gift, think in theme and try to bring in colors from the flag, especially its boldest hue. We say that for Veterans Day, red rules.

Mums, Fall’s Biggest Floral

By beneva on October 20, 2017 in Fall Flowers. 0 Comments

Mum's the word this Fall, as the season's biggest floral makes its highly anticipated debut. Since 3,500 years ago in China, mums have been celebrated for their particular beauty (as well as their healing properties!) and lauded as the "golden flower." Today, we find them cheering up gardens and doorsteps in planters, pots or set right into a waiting garden bed, a signal that Fall is here. At Beneva Flowers & Plantscapes, we're just as devoted to November's sunny bloom. Read More about Mums, Fall’s Biggest Floral

This 100-year-old observance seeks to give small presents and surprises to those who may be going through a hard time, in order to give them encouragement.

Floral Designs in Fall Colors

By beneva on September 13, 2017 in Fall Flowers. 0 Comments

Let's face it, in Sarasota we don't really experience fall the way the rest of the country may. Our change of colors is often from one shade of green to a different shade of green. Still, we love to celebrate the spirit and essence of autumn, with seasonal flowers in fall colors to infuse your home with cozy ambiance. If you are looking for a simple design that makes a stunning impression, look no further than the Simply Striking Sunflower Bowl. An elegant design of graceful calla lilies, bear grass and a classic sunflower makes for the perfect fall accent piece for your home - or a great gift! Read More about Floral Designs in Fall Colors

Flowers and Plants for Housewarming Gifts

By beneva on September 3, 2017 in Flowers, Housewarming Gifts, Plants. 0 Comments

Experts tell us that nearly 50 million people move annually, and in Sarasota, we know that many of them come here! Whether you need housewarming gifts to welcome new neighbors or to congratulate friends or family on their new purchase, Beneva Flowers has great ideas perfect for welcoming them to paradise. Did You Know? In the days before electricity, housewarming parties were quite literally to keep the house warm - hence the term. When a newly married couple moved out on their own, friends and family would come over bearing gifts of firewood to get them through their first winter. Of course, in our part of the world, that particular custom may not have been so prevalent!  Read More about Flowers and Plants for Housewarming Gifts

Formal Homecoming Flowers for the Big Dance

By beneva on September 1, 2017 in Prom, Sarasota. 0 Comments

Homecoming weekend is a special time of remembrance and new memories, of old friends and time-honored rivalries. From the football game to the homecoming court, from the pep rallies to the last romantic dance, flowers play an important role, and the team at Beneva Flowers is ready to make your weekend one to remember! Why Homecoming? The first homecoming weekend is believed to have been at the University of Missouri in 1910. Facing their rivals in a big game, the athletic department wanted to fill the stands, and so invited alumni to "come home" for the game. Over 10,000 responded, and homecoming tradition was born.

Celebrating Grandparents Day

By beneva on August 23, 2017 in Grandparents Day. 0 Comments

On September 10, the country will celebrate Grandparents Day. This is a time set aside to not only give gratitude to our elder generation, but to encourage the sharing of stories, wisdom, and family history. The brainchild of Marian McQuade, the vision behind the movement is that families would plan gatherings, hold reunions, or participate in community events together in order to foster the ideals of close family and legacy. Beneva Flowers applauds any opportunity to bring people closer together. If you wish to honor your grandparents on this special day, give us a call or shop our collection. Because flowers are always the perfect gift.  Read More about Celebrating Grandparents Day
