Why are flowers sent at easter?

Easter is a great time to send flowers to your loved ones. Spring flowers like tulips and irises flower during spring, and Easter flowers are known to symbolize renewal and rebirth after the winter months. Easter lilies, the most popular flower of the season, are also at their peak at this time of year. Lilies are related to Easter due to their association with purity and resurrection. This comes from Christian legend where lilies were found growing in the Garden of Gethsemane, where Jesus prayed the night before his crucifixion.

Yes! All photography is done fully in-house with actual arrangements we make ourselves. Everything you see on our website is ours and only ours.

Our #1 commitment is to your happiness and the quality of our arrangements.
How should I care for the flowers or plants?
Keep flowers and plants out of direct sunlight and away from air vents that blow air on them. For flowers, it is best to fill the vase to the very top as soon as it arrives and to refresh the water daily. You should be able to tilt the vase so that most of the water will pour out. Then refill it with fresh water. If one flower shows signs of wilting, you can just simply remove it and enjoy the remaining flowers. For green and blooming plants, wait to add water until the soil becomes dry. When watering, soak the soil and then pour off or out any excess water. If you ever want to transplant to a bigger pot, just wait at least a few weeks so the plant can adjust to their new environment before they undergo major changes in their pot and soil. For orchids or succulents, wait about 10 days between watering and provide only a small amount of water. Orchids and succulents thrive in a dryer environment! Overwatering is a very common way to cause the orchid to be unhappy!
