Navigating the Language of Loss: Heartfelt Sympathy Flowers

Mayfield Florist The loss of a loved one is a poignant chapter in the narrative of life. In those profound moments, where words often fail and emotions run deep, symbols carry a weight that language cannot aspire to shoulder alone. This is where the quiet, yet poignant language of flowers makes itself heard most beautifully, in the art of sympathy arrangements. For funeral planners, florists, and those navigating the labyrinth of grief, these floral expressions are not merely decorative; they are profound conveyors of empathy, love, and respect. This article is a comprehensive guide to the art of selecting, understanding, and creating Heartfelt Sympathy Flowers, providing solace for the bereaved and honor for the departed.     SPECIAL DISCOUNT OFFERS - USE ON MAIN WEBSITE         The Floral Alphabet of Sympathy Each bloom, with its unique color, fragrance, and history, whispers a different sentiment. From the purity of white lilies to the humility of daisies, understanding this floral alphabet allows us to craft a message that is both unique and deeply personal. We will walk through the commonly chosen varieties for sympathy arrangements and the nuanced meanings behind their petals. Lilies: A Sign of Purity and Restoration - Lilies, be them stargazer or Easter, stand as the emblem of innocence, virtue, and the soul’s restoration. Their radiant yet delicate presence embodies the purity often attributed to the departed, offering a soothing visual for those mourning the loss of a cherished spirit. Roses: Unceasing Love and Regard - Roses articulate a language as old as time. The red rose speaks of love, the white of reverence, and the pink of grace and gentleness. These time-honored florals weave a tapestry of affection, signaling a continuing presence in the hearts of those left behind. Chrysanthemums: A Symbol of Truth and Sincerity - The chrysanthemum, with its vibrant colors and robust presence, conveys a message of honesty and steadfastness. A central floral component in many cultures' funeral rites, the 'mum' serves as a silent assurance that one's grief, like the flower's longevity, is a truth beyond measure. Carnations: Bond of Unfathomable Strength - Carnations, in all their varieties, signify a spectrum of emotions—be it affection, remembrance, or the undying love between family members. Their ruffled petals and sweet scent tenderly reflect the complexities of the familial bond and offer understanding to those who mourn. Orchids: A Testament to Dignity and Eternal Love - Orchids, with their rare beauty, signify a love that transcends the vagaries of life. Often chosen for its elegance mixed with an understated charm, the orchid imparts a message of delicate strength, acknowledging the lasting elegance of the spirit that has taken its leave. Sympathy Floral Arranging: Craft and Care The seamless interplay of different blooms can create a story within the arrangement. We will explore the principles of floral design, from selecting a fitting container to balancing color, form, and texture to encapsulate the essence of remembrance. The Container: A Vessel for Memory Selecting [...]

Flowers are a wonderful gift for dad. However, if you would prefer a Green or Flowering Plant, we offer an excellent selection designed just for Father's Day. Father's Day Brief History In 1915, a member of the Lions Club introduced the concept of Father's Day. The preference was for the day to occur on the third Sunday in June. The Lions Club International elected to give him the official designation as the "Originator of Father's Day" and he continued the quest to promote Father's Day as an official holiday. After receiving numerous requests for a special day to honor fathers, in 1916, President Wilson proclaimed a day should be recognized as a federal holiday. This was during a speech he gave in Spokane at a Father's Day celebration. However, when the concept reached Congress, it was denied. The majority of the members in Congress were concerned that it would become too commercialized, and the true meaning would be all about companies profiting. President Coolidge suggested a recognition for Father's Day in 1924. Then in 1957, Senator Margaret Chase Smith spoke out that Congress had been ignoring fathers for over 40 years and had only been honoring mothers. Then in 1966 the first proclamation of Father's Day was issued by President Lyndon B. Johnson. It was declared that the day to honor all fathers would be the third Sunday in June. This became a permanent holiday in 1972 when President Richard Nixon signed it into law. Popular Father's Day Floral Gifts Orange Lilies - These nice flowers are used to symbolize Peace, Harmony, Wealth and Joy. White Roses - Show dad that you honor him for his honor, reverence and spirituality by giving him White Roses. Yellow Roses - If you want dad to have joy and cheer, the Yellow Roses are perfect.

Shop with Mayfield Florist for National Rose Month

Mayfield Florist has the best red roses in Tucson and was Voted Best Florist in Tucson Arizona Mayfield Florist is the best florist to purchase roses from in the Tucson area. We have roses of all types and colors.  This June is National Rose Month and is the perfect time to shop with Mayfield Florist. Not only do we offer roses, but we also have many other varieties of flowers and plants to choose from. Recently, I was provided with a sensational article regarding roses that was written by the Chairman of the Society of American Florists. There is so much great information in the article, and it is so relevant for National Rose Month that I wanted to share it. Roses are the most popular flower in the world, with over a billion stems sold annually. Over 250 million are produced for Valentine’s Day alone. They are popular because of their beautiful colors, shape and petal structure, as well as their lovely fragrance. While many landscape roses have 5 petals, hybrid tea roses, those produced for commercial cutting, can have up to 40 petals. Best of all, there are always new varieties to discover with over 150 rose species and thousands of fabulous cultivars. June is National Rose Month, a perfect time for me to share with you some of my favorite varieties, not ranked, because they are simply too beautiful to pick a favorite. Alabaster is a breathtaking, off-white rose with many soft, delicate petals. Catalina warms my soul with creamy yellow petals that reveal sunshine as they open. Ashley is a luscious pink rose that is not too pale and not too bold. Juliet captivates me with a very interesting petal structure and perfect peach color. Miyabi Wabara is a pink rose with a peach heart and wonderfully ruffled petals. Free Spirit combines yellow, peach and pink in its countless petals. Just WOW! I am often asked how to care for cut roses and respond with a few tips: Keep the water clean. Bacteria is our primary enemy and you can limit bacterial growth by rinsing the vase daily and refilling with water. Cut stems with a knife or very sharp pruners. Dull scissors will pinch the Xylem and Phloem closed and restrict the uptake of water. Use the flower food provided by your florist. The old wives' tales about aspirin and pennies are lore and not based on any science. The food is most essential during the first two water changes, so do not worry if you run out. If a rose wilts prematurely, do not trash it. Simply give it a fresh cut and submerge the entire rose in warm water for an hour or so. It will rehydrate and look great for many additional days. Fun fact: Most of the world’s cut roses are grown in the mountains of Colombia and Ecuador. The altitude and proximity to the Equator means lots of year-round sunshine and the perfect combination of temperature and humidity. Also, please [...]
