For the Up-And-Coming Socialites

This post was been inspired by my entirely busy [and absolutely unusual] social calendar from this past week.

Typically, I spend my evenings lying around in my sweats, cooking up some tasty food, reading a good book, making a mess with crafting, and watching 30 Rock with the boyfriend and pup. These past few days have thrown me entirely off track though! Something planned every night and several dinner parties in one week?! Unheard of! Despite this chaotic whirlwind, I knew in return for my friends' hospitality I needed to bring them something nice.

This led me to my next dilemma... Bake cupcakes? Definitely not enough time. Bring an appetizer? They didn't need help with their fine cooking skills. Finally, it hit me. Flowers! [I know. I should have probably thought of that sooner, working at Arapahoe Floral and all...] Anyways, I put together a couple of beautiful and colorful arrangements. I went with the short, compact modern style. If they use it as a centerpiece, it's great because it isn't blocking anyone's view; and that is exactly what they did! My gift showed them my appreciation, and was a great hit!

So, believe me. The next time you're headed to a dinner party, remember that a beautiful flower arrangement, or even some loose flowers wrapped up for them to drop in a vase, is the perfect accompaniment. They'll be touched that you took the time to show your thanks, and you'll feel good knowing you could contribute to the beautiful evening ahead of you.

Enjoy your night out!

Keepsake Thanksgiving Centerpieces

Every year, around mid November all over America, people start to prepare for the holidays. For most this means picking out a beautiful Thanksgiving centerpiece to go on their family's table. Though this may seem like a very small part of Thanksgiving, it is the simplest way to decorate your holiday table and it can become a family tradition. Every year Arapahoe Floral (with the help of Teleflora) provides arrangements for only certain holidays that come in containers that can be used year after year. These keepsake containers are a lot more popular and more practical than just a glass vase or plastic container because the very next year you can bring them back into Arapahoe Floral and have them arranged in again for much cheaper. Examples of these arrangements are the Falling Leaves Arrangement and the Harvest Bowl Arrangement. Both of these make great Holiday Centerpieces and are timeless.
