Each month has its very own inspiration for honoring those celebrating a birthday. The month of September features the sapphire as the birthstone, and the aster as the birth – and Al’s Florist has s and gifts that will celebrate these special days in style!

The sapphire is one of the world’s most cherished gemstones and is known for its brilliant blue color. In medieval times it was revered by clergy as bringing divine favor, and down through the years it still represents heavenly blessings. The sapphire is sometimes called “celestial”, due to its midnight blue color and divine significance, and also represents good health, innocence, and truth,

As the birth of September, the aster also has celestial ties. In fact, its very name means “star-like” . The aster is a member of the daisy family, and it generally exhibits a yellow center and brightly colored petals. That’s why our Trapp Candle Garden is the perfect gift for September birthdays – exhibiting sapphire-inspired s and pink asters, nestled amongst a garden of wilds. The candle itself is a fragrant gift that will fill their home with an aroma as beautiful as this arrangement.

When ordering a bouquet to celebrate your September birthdays, there are several s that have the blue hue  you’ll be looking for. To florally represent the sapphire, choose blue delphinium, orchids or blue hydrangea – you can also choose to use a blue vase, and add a birthday balloon for that special touch.
