Tranquil White Floral Styles For Labor Day And Beyond

By Vicky Rotunno on August 19, 2018 in Flowers. 0 Comments

We know that with the approach of Labor Day comes the all-important question: white or no white? Even though tradition says to be finished with your white attire and decorating now that fall is approaching, we prefer to side with Coco Chanel on this topic and include white whenever we want. Adding a burst of white flowers on your dining room table, for example, along with white table settings and other accouterments, leaves plenty of room for a table runner of deep fall purples or oranges. Al’s Florist recommends including sprays of white bouquets in your decorating whenever you choose. Read More

Bees don’t care for complicated, but they do need hydration and a break from the sun and heat. The floral experts at Al’s Florist are glad to offer more tips on creating a beautiful outdoor space that encourages your local bee population. Read More
