Flowers to Celebrate National Sweetest Day

Just over 100 years ago in Cleveland OH, a group of candy company executives decided to start their own annual event. Dubbed "Sweetest Day", the inaugural celebration included these companies handing out candy and sweets to local orphans and shut-ins. Although their stated purpose was to let these people know that they were not forgotten members of society, critics say a more cynical motivation for the initiative - accusing the companies of trying to manufacture a new holiday that would benefit their pocketbooks. No matter what the original intent, Sweetest Day has survived down through the years as an opportunity to encourage and support those in our lives who may be struggling in one way or another. Although candy is still routinely given, any kind gesture is considered an appropriate way to celebrate the day.

Boss’s Day Flowers & Plants for the Office

In 1958, Patricia Bays Haroski filed her petition for National Boss's Day with the U.S. Department of Commerce. An employee at State Farm Insurance in Chicago, Haroski felt that bosses deserved recognition for their hard work and dedication. Of course, her father was her boss, which may have influenced her admiration. Still, four years later Illinois governor Otto Kerner signed the declaration to make the day official, on the proposed date of October 16 - which was the birthday of Haroski's father. The intention of National Boss's Day is to positively influence the relationships between employers and their employees. It is a day to let the good bosses know that they are admired and appreciated. Green and flowering plants are excellent gifts for corporate and business environments, and Mission Viejo Florist is your best local choice for these beautiful gifts.

Autumn Florals & Centerpieces

Poet William Cullen Bryant once wrote the words "autumn is the year's last, loveliest smile". He was probably inspired by fall colors and the few remaining days of seasonable temperatures before winter, just as many are today. Autumn florals add warmth and cozy ambiance to our homes, even if we may not experience the change in climate as drastically as those around the country. We still love the shift in seasonal vibe, the fiery colors, and the approach of some of our most beloved holidays. Mission Viejo Florist loves to celebrate the new season with bouquets and arrangements representative of this special time of year.

Sending Grandparents Day Flowers

Grandparents Day is a special holiday with a dual purpose. The day was instituted by Congress in 1978, but the original idea for the observance came from Marian McQuade, a mother and grandmother. Her vision was to set aside time for grandparents to shares stories and history with the younger generations; and for the younger folks to have the opportunity not only to learn, but to learn to appreciate the legacy of their family. At Mission Viejo Florist, we are grateful for any opportunity to promote togetherness and family!

Floral Arrangements for Just Because Day

On August 27, you have the perfect opportunity to set aside all your obligations and to do whatever you please. This is the spirit behind “Just Because Day”, a whimsical observance which was the brainchild of Joseph J. Goodwin from California. Goodwin created the holiday approximately 50 years ago, with the intent having a day to really enjoy life and family. He marked the first Just Because Day by giving his wife a transistor radio, and the tradition of spontaneous gifts "just because" not only caught on with his family, but with others who heard about the carefree custom. There are no rules to the day - simply follow your impulse. Sing in the shower, or sing on a street corner. Sleep all day, or go for a hike in the mountains. Or perhaps you can send some beautiful flowers to someone for no reason at all.  Read More about Floral Arrangements for Just Because Day »
