We Offer Fresh and Sincere Veterans Day Flowers to Honor Military Men and Women! (BLOG DISCOUNTS BELOW)

It is always a good idea to thank our veterans for their service and show your appreciation. If you want to send Veterans Day Flowers to honor those who have served, below are some ideas for what you can give!   SPECIAL DISCOUNT OFFERS - USE ON MAIN WEBSITE     Veterans Day History Veterans Day is a federal holiday in the United States that honors those who have served in the U.S. military. It is observed annually on November 11 and was originally called Armistice Day to commemorate the end of World War I, which occurred on November 11, 1918. The day was renamed Veterans Day in 1954 by an act of Congress after it was discovered that there were no longer any veterans alive from World War I who could be honored with an observance at Arlington National Cemetery outside Washington, D.C. Since then, Veterans Day has become a time for Americans to pay homage not only to their own personal veterans but also those who died in service or are still living today as well as those who are still fighting on the front lines. The day is also a chance for Americans to honor those who have served in the U.S. armed forces since its founding in 1775, and it is a time when many people visit cemeteries where their loved ones are buried or attend ceremonies at military bases around the country.  It is not just about the veterans. Veterans Day Flowers Veterans Day is a day to honor those who have served in the armed forces. It is also a great opportunity to show your appreciation for your veteran by sending them flowers or plants.

History of Halloween Halloween is a holiday that is celebrated on the night of 31 October. It has its roots in the ancient Celtic festival of Samhain, which was held on this date in honor of the dead. The Celts believed that on 1 November (the beginning of winter) their spirits would travel across an invisible boundary into our world and wreak havoc on humans who were still alive; therefore, they carved faces into turnips or potatoes to scare away these evil spirits. Today's Halloween traditions are thought to have been influenced by these practices: trick-or-treating for candy takes place at night because it was safer than during daytime hours; jack o'lanterns were originally carved from turnips or potatoes so people could see them better at night; bobbing for apples originated when children dipped their heads into tubs full of water while attempting to grab apples floating there--just like how ghosts can't cross running water! Halloween is a day of celebration for witches and other magic-users. It's also the time when ghosts and spirits are believed to be able to walk through our world freely! On Halloween, many people dress up in costumes to look like scary creatures or evil spirits--some even go so far as to disguise their voices with helium so they sound high pitched. This is done in order to scare people and have fun! In the United States, Halloween is celebrated on October 31st and is a day when children dress up in costumes and go door to door trick-or-treating. This holiday has [...]

Customers Love The Flower Arrangements Our Passionate Floral Designers Create!

Hoover-Fisher Florist One major responsibility of Professional Floral Designers is to ensure their customer's events are a big success. Whether it is an intimate gathering or a grand affair, they will set up the best floral design to compliment your vision and budget. Our team of compassionate and detail minded designers use fresh farm grown flowers and their creative skills to produce the most stunning flower arrangements in the industry.   SPECIAL DISCOUNT OFFERS - USE ON MAIN WEBSITE     Floral Design Floral design is a creative art form that uses floral materials to produce artistic designs. Floral designers use a variety of mediums, including fresh and dried flowers, foliage, fruits and vegetables as well as other products such as bamboo stalks, grasses or feathers. They often work with an arranger or florist to create finished pieces for customers in the wedding industry or for retail sale at florists' shops. Floral design can be used in the making of floral arrangements (such as bouquets), corsages/boutonnieres and other creations such as wreaths or centerpieces. The term "floral designer" may also refer more specifically to people who create custom-made wedding bouquets on behalf of clients who are getting married at their own homes rather than having them done professionally by a florist. A person who designs floral arrangements but does not work with live plants (i.e., someone who uses only dried materials) would not normally be considered a "florist". Floral designers are often trained at trade schools or colleges and may be certified by the American Institute of Floral Designers. Floral designers can also be involved with the design of floral decorations for interiors, such as furniture or walls. Floral design is often used in wedding planning as well as other types of celebrations such as birthday parties and anniversaries. Floral Design Skills Floral designer skills are varied, and they can be broken down into five categories: creative, technical, organizational, business and interpersonal. The most important of these is creativity; floral designers must have a natural talent for designing flowers and plants to create beautiful arrangements. They also need to have excellent taste in color schemes and textures so that their designs look attractive from every angle. They must be able to visualize a finished product before starting work on it--and if something doesn't turn out right during construction (which happens often), they must know how to fix it quickly. Interpersonal skills are important because floral designers often work directly with customers on their projects; this means having patience when explaining what goes into making certain types of arrangements or why certain elements won't work together well visually. Floral artists also need good communication skills so they can relay instructions clearly when working with other employees such as florists or delivery drivers who may not understand exactly what type of arrangement needs delivering where without some guidance! Floral designers are also responsible for keeping their own work areas clean and organized [...]

Shop Here for the Freshest Flowers for All Occasions Including Yom Kippur

Hoover-Fisher Florist Our Floral Designers have created the most caring and beautiful flower arrangements that are perfect Yom Kippur Flowers. Yom Kippur is the holiest day of the year in Judaism and is a day of fasting and reflection. Celebrations are held after sunset at sundown (6 p.m. Eastern Standard Time). While you might not be able to attend these celebrations in person, you can send religious gifts or flowers to someone who is observing Yom Kippur from afar—or even deliver them yourself if you are traveling!   SPECIAL DISCOUNT OFFERS - USE ON MAIN WEBSITE       What is Yom Kippur? Yom Kippur is the holiest day of the year for Jews. It is a day of fasting and atonement, prayer, reflection and forgiveness. The name Yom Kippur means "Day of Atonement" in Hebrew; it's also known as the "Sabbath of Sabbaths." Yom Kippur begins at sundown on October 9th this year (2019) and ends after sunset on October 11th with Rosh Hashanah beginning shortly thereafter. In addition to fasting from food and drink (except water), observant Jews also abstain from wearing leather shoes or engaging in sexual relations during this period. The Jewish day begins at sundown and ends a full 24 hours later at sundown. The day is divided into two 12-hour periods, or "watches," with each watch corresponding to one half of the day. The first watch begins at sundown and ends at midnight. The second watch begins at midnight and ends at midday on the following day. Jews typically sleep during the first watch and then pray in the synagogue during the second watch. One of the most important aspects of Yom Kippur is atonement. It is a day devoted entirely to focused prayer and repentance for sins committed throughout the year. According to Jewish tradition, God inscribes everyone's name in an "account book," on Rosh Hashanah (the Jewish New Year). The account book is sealed on Rosh Hashanah and opened on Yom Kippur; those whose names are written therein will be spared from divine judgment during the coming year. History of Yom Kippur Yom Kippur is a Jewish holiday that occurs on the tenth day of Tishri, the seventh month in the Hebrew calendar. It marks the end of Yom Teruah (the Day of Trumpets) and is considered to be the holiest day in Judaism, second only to Shabbat. On this day, jews fast from sunrise until sunset, engage in prayer and repentance for their sins throughout history and seek forgiveness from God so they can be reconciled with him before Rosh Hashanah begins on October 1st. It is customary for Jews to ask forgiveness from one another, and it is also common to exchange gifts at this time. This holiday serves as a cleansing of the soul and a preparation for the new year ahead. Kippur is also known as Yom HaKippurim (Day of Atonement) and Tish B’Av. In Hebrew, the word [...]
