Pinterest-Worthy Centerpieces for Thanksgiving

Yes, we said it. These centerpieces are guaranteed a spot on even the pickiest of Pinterest flower boards. We're not tooting our own horn for nothing. At Robertson's Flowers, we feel like the Thanksgiving centerpiece has been long overdue for some image rehab. Rustic cornucopias and plaid taffeta ribbons are nice - as are taper candles encircled by harvest florals - but we've got a broader view of what the Thanksgiving centerpiece can do. We like the idea of mixing it up with the season's loveliest blooms, berries, and garden goodies in a palette that feels more romantic than rustic. Check out some of our seasonal favorites to see an upgraded centerpiece. Read More about Pinterest-Worthy Centerpieces for Thanksgiving »

Elegant Flower Gifts for the Holiday Host

Thanksgiving is on the horizon, and if you're like many Americans, you'll be traveling over hill and dale (or just up the block) to gather with friends and family. Last year, 50 million people drove at least 50 miles to do the same. And while you may be contributing an item to the table, we at Robertson's Flowers encourage you to arrive with something else: a host gift. Even in these post-Emily Post days, a host gift is a lovely gesture that shows your gratitude. It's an occasion to give something beautiful to people who are giving so much to you and going to such lengths to present a holiday feast. Naturally, we think the best host gift is flowers.

Floral Arrangements for Veterans Day

  Here in Philadelphia, we're gearing up for the Veterans Parade on November 5, as well as a wave of other events that celebrate our U.S. military veterans' service to their country. Our community is rich with such heroes, and as the observances get underway, we at Robertson's Flowers & Events are thinking about how personal gestures that extend our gratitude to our favorite patriots are just as important as public expressions. Naturally, we see the gift of flowers as the perfect way to honor our deserving family and friends. Read More about Floral Arrangements for Veterans Day »

Dazzling Dahlias for Fall

Autumn in Philly is already gorgeous, make no mistake. But at Robertson's Flowers, we believe you can gild the lily,  specifically by adding some dazzling dahlias for Fall to your seasonal decorations. The flower of the moment also happens to be a terrific bloom for the cooler months. Its intricate beauty adds dimension and texture to an arrangement, and because it comes in a variety of nuanced colors, it plays well against bolder, more audacious harvest hues.

Unique Plants to Welcome New Neighbors

Moving into a new neighborhood can be a bit overwhelming. Between unpacking boxes, getting kids settled and making sure that the internet is working, it is easy to feel a little lost. So if you see a moving truck heading into your Philadelphia subdivision carrying a new family, be sure to greet them and ask if there is anything you can do to help. Consider bringing over a home-cooked meal, along with paper plates and utensils. You may even offer to help stack empty boxes, or run to the store for needed items. But once things settle down, sending a gift from Robertson's Flowers is an awesome way to assure them that they are welcome, and you are glad to be new neighbors.   Read More about Unique Plants to Welcome New Neighbors »

Floral Designs for Grandparents Day

Perfect love sometimes does not come until the first grandchild. ~Welsh Proverb Established by Congress in 1978, Grandparents Day began as a grassroots effort to help to preserve family histories. A mother and grandmother from West Virginia had the original idea, but her vision was far from commercial. Marian McQuade's dream was that people would use the day to gather together, share family stories and history, and honor "the keepers of the legacy" - grandparents and older generations. She also saw this as a wonderful opportunity for grandchildren to show their appreciation and love for their grandparents. If your Grandma or Grandpa is a special person in your life, September 10 is the day to celebrate them.  Read More about Floral Designs for Grandparents Day »
