We are starting to see new floral trends you'll love this season and we are really excited to share them with you. One of the hottest trends on the scene this year will be Forest Walk, a beautiful design inspired by the deep bold colors found under the forest canopy. This style plays with the abundant textures of organic life found within a forest in ways that feel both fresh and familiar. Find dark, bold tones at the forefront of this look, such as lush greens, hints of blue or brown, amber yellow, and deep plum or burgundy. Al's Florist has designs inspired by this trend that will feature fresh, natural elements for your to enjoy. Read More

As the new year rolls in, we start to think about how we can make improvements to our health and well-being. At Al's Florist, we've found one of the best ways to do this is by surrounding yourself with flowers! Plants and flowers have so many benefits that you'll feel like a whole new you in no time. Flowers add color to your life. Color encourages creativity, so surrounding yourself with flowers in your favorite colors will encourage creative thought and energy as you work. Plants and flowers freshen the air. Because they breath out what we breath in, and vice versa, plants and flowers are natural air fresheners. Throw in their beautiful fragrances and you'll wonder why you didn't fill your home with flowers sooner! Green foliage is a natural stress reducer. The color green is known to alleviate stress and anxiety, so placing plants and flowers in your office is a great way to combat these things. Read More
