Make Them Smile Just Because

By beneva on August 7, 2017 in Flowers. 0 Comments

Sometimes our lives can be entirely too practical. We have routines and schedules, appointments and rituals. Our days are ordered and efficient - but did you ever long to just kick off your shoes and run free? August 27th gives us a great opportunity to cast off some restraint and try something "just because" - whether it is to attempt a new hobby, indulge in a guilty pleasure, or to surprise someone with a kind gesture for no reason other than to make them smile. Just Because Day gives us the perfect excuse to do whatever we like - and the team at Beneva Flowers thinks that is a great idea. Giving flowers is often tied to a specific occasion, so have a bouquet delivered "just because" is a beautiful way to not only live it up a little, but to completely make someone's day.  Read More about Make Them Smile Just Because

For 18 years, Beneva Florist has been Sarasota's first choice to accent all of life's occasions with beautiful flowers. While there are many happy events, sometimes we have to face the loss of a friend or family member. When the time comes, our team is here to provide you with the flowers you will need to remember them with compassion and respect. Customary Funeral Florals: These elongated, graceful stems are also called sword lilies, their name borrowed from the weapons of the Roman gladiators. This connection signifies integrity of character, remembrance, loyalty, and moral strength; and is therefore a meaningful flower for funeral services for those we love. However, they are not the only flower that is considered appropriate, as roses, lilies and carnations are also commonly used for memorial arrangements. Read More about Appropriate Funeral Florals

Blooming from early spring through the fall, hydrangea are at their height during the summer months. These amazing and ethereal flowers are found literally around the world, growing everywhere from Asia to the Americas (they were originally discovered in Japan). The hydrangea plant has a delicate color palette and soft, fluffy petals that create a truly special aesthetic, which is most often utilized as a backdrop in mixed arrangements. This summer, however, Beneva Flowers would like to shine a spotlight on this special flower, and recommend that you stop in to get a vase overflowing with these true beauties. Did You Know? Hydrangea floral designs may look good enough to eat, but they are mildly toxic. Keep up and away from pets who may be tempted by the delicious colors.  Read More about Hydrangea Floral Designs
