Al’s Florist is prepped for summer, but we all know that our hottest, muggiest season doesn’t quite start until school’s out (or so the song goes).

As May and June make their way toward us on the calendar, it’s time to start planning for those end of school year celebrations—proms, parties, graduations, ceremonies, recitals, awards . . . the whole shebang. Many times these occasions call for s, whether as wearables, decor or gifts. Today we focus on the latter category, showcasing a bright bundle of blooms sure to communicate all the respect and pride a new graduate deserves.

In sending or hand delivering s to a student, focus on a message of congratulations. To do that, keep your s meaningful. In the language of s, for instance, yellow symbolizes happiness, joy and success. The lily in our The Bright Stuff design definitely expresses just that, alongside purple stock and vibrant raspberry tulips. This is just the sort of congratulatory bouquet that makes a graduate feel supported and seen.

Don’t miss the opportunity to acknowledge a young person’s efforts at the end of the school year, just ahead of summer break. Your thoughtfulness will go a long way to helping them see just how important their accomplishments are.
