Harvest Up Your Home With Centerpieces

So you're hosting Thanksgiving this year. Lucky you. We at Adrian Durban Florist envy your position and wish we could host a thousand Thanksgivings. No, we're not kidding. Why are you so lucky? Because of the flowers, of course. If you like fresh blooms and love designing a room around them (or in conjunction with them), then Thanksgiving is like your dream holiday. So many richly-hued arrangements await, so many textures and scents, so many rustic baskets and cornucopias. You get to find that one showstopper piece to place on your table as you harvest up your home for your guests. And then eat. We have some ideas for the flowers (we'll leave the eating to you).

Show Thanks Through Flowers

Are you hosting Thanksgiving this year or have you been invited into someone else's home? If it's the latter, you're not alone. Last year, nearly 50 million people traveled at least 50 miles from home to enjoy Thanksgiving. That's a lot of hosting, and at Adrian Durban Florist, we think it should be rightfully acknowledged. The tradition of bringing or sending a host or hostess gift is old and long, crossing cultures and involving its own customs. Here in the U.S., it's traditional to offer a bouquet of flowers in a vase. That way, the host or hostess has nothing to do but place your gift somewhere in the home and to enjoy it.

Deliver Pride this Veterans Day

There are a dozen ways to honor our military this Veterans Day, whether you're heading to Cincinnati Public Library's annual celebration, joining one of the 5K runs, or simply spending time with your beloved vet at home. We've been celebrating our country's finest in some form or another on November 11 since 1919, showering them with the attention and respect they deserve. Marches, parades, and other festivities have historically been the way to do this, ever since President Calvin Coolidge called upon us to observe the holiday and offer our thanks. Adrian Durban Florist is doing its part to help you express your gratitude to someone who deserves it as well.  Read More about Deliver Pride this Veterans Day »

Acts of Kindness of Sweetest Day

In 1916, caring people across the Midwest established a new holiday tradition  - Sweetest Day. Originally aimed at brightening the day of down-and-out neighbors, people would give out sweets and candies to help bring a smile. These days, Sweetest Day continues as a regional tradition, although it has spread to other parts of the country - and we think, should be celebrated everywhere! October 21 is Sweetest Day, and gives us all the opportunity to identify people in our own lives who may need a little encouragement. Adrian Durban Florist has plenty of ideas for sweet gifts and flowers we know will convey your love and friendship.  Read More about Acts of Kindness of Sweetest Day »

Floral Arrangements to Welcome New Neighbors

In a fast paced world, we sometimes lose some of our most time-honored traditions. But being neighborly is something we should never push to the side. Traditionally, when new families moved into a neighborhood, the residents turned out to welcome them, introduce themselves, and make them feel at home. At Adrian Durban Florist, we are sure you will join us in saying that we love the custom - after all, moving into a new place can be stressful, and a few friendly faces are most welcome. Whether you bake a batch of cookies or send flowers to brighten their home - housewarming gifts are a thoughtful gesture that will go a long way to starting a beautiful friendship.  Read More about Floral Arrangements to Welcome New Neighbors »
