March 20th Welcomes Spring and Proposals

Not only is the first day of spring coming up on March 20th, but it is also Proposal Day. Both celebrations can be enhanced through flowers, whether it is enjoying them at home or at the office, gifting them to loved ones, or using them to decorate a special event, such as a party, event, or spring wedding. Proposal Day Proposal Day is one of those often not heard of special days each year. It is intended as a day to commit to making some kind of proposal, which is usually associated with a marriage proposal. However, other proposals may be used as well so it could be proposal to be boyfriend and girlfriend or proposal to do something fun. It’s up to you! To add to the special aspects of your proposal or make it more convincing, think about adding a spring flower bouquet, spring flower arrangement, or rose petals to accompany that incredible engagement

Experience the Difference of a Local Florist

Having a local florist like Veldkamp’s Flowers and Gifts provides you with incredible benefits that an online-only, discount flower company cannot. Here’s the difference you will be able to experience. Quality A local florist works with only select flower farms and vendors to bring you the best flowers, plants, and gifts. This can differentiate them from the online companies that often freeze their flowers before sending them to you in a box. Who wants to receive flowers that are often dead or wilted when you can enjoy hand arranged, hand delivered fresh flowers that last much longer?! Often, these discounters are not even in your state let alone your local town. Personal Service While an online company may seem convenient, you use any experience from shopping with them. There is no recognition of who you are if you come back a second time or personal touch in terms of recommendations, name acknowledgement, or personal “thank you’s”
