Bodacious
Bodacious is the most vibrant color in the palette, and is probably the most unexpected. Although it has a huge personality, and may seem to want to stand alone, it is actually quite versatile and pairs well with pinks and reds. This bright purple with notes of sophisticated pink is capable of turning fashion accents into fashion statements. Make a statement in your fall decor by using Bodacious to mix things up and add an element of surprise and excitement.

How to Display Your Flower Bouquets at Home

The only thing more satisfying than successfully growing your own flowers in a garden, is realizing how much life something as simple as a fresh bouquet can bring to a room. There is such a variety of ways that you can display them, but there are also some special instructions you should follow to ensure they last as long as possible. Here are some tips for how to brighten up your living space with fresh cut flowers:

Find the Right Vases for You
When you order a bouquet through Teleflora, your flowers will always come in a vase. This is a great way to start your vase collection. However, there are a few varieties you should always have on hand, as each has its own uses for different flower types:
  • A classic-shaped vase for large floral displays.
  • A cylinder vase for flowers with long stems.
  • A cube vase for flowers with short stems.
  • A bud vase for single blooms.
However, you could also get creative with your floral displays, using your favorite teacups, bottles, mason jars and other pretty household containers. How you display your flowers is a great way to exemplify your own personal tastes.

Where to Display Your Flowers
It’s a little-known fact that absolutely every room in your home can be brightened with a flower display. However, different-sized arrangements look better in different environments. For example, a small, simple flower in a bud vase can look perfect on your living room coffee table, but may get lost on a large dining room table.
The larger the space, the bigger the display should be. An exception, however, is an arrangement made up of multiple small vases. This mismatched look is adorable on a large table. A floral arrangement on your nightstand will also give you a pleasant start to your day every morning.
If you have a foyer near the entryway of your home, consider a tall vase with a few flowers with very long stems. This minimal aesthetic is elegant and simple, especially if the rest of your home is clean and pristine as well.

Keeping Your Flowers Alive
A beautiful floral arrangement can get pricey, and there’s no doubt that it’s very easy to get accustomed to always having fresh blooms on hand! This is why it’s important to take special care of the floral arrangements throughout your home to ensure they live as long as possible. Here are a few useful tips to helping your blooms live a long life in your home:
  • Though your flowers may look gorgeous in a large bay window, hot, direct sunlight actually isn’t the ideal environment for your cut flowers. Keep them in indirect light, in a cool area of your home. Don’t place your flowers too close to radiators or open windows with a draft, either.
  • Don’t try to stuff too many flowers into one vase. This can damage the stems and keep the flowers from getting ample water. If you don’t have a vase big enough to accommodate your bouquet, break it up into a couple vases and then you’ll have a display for another room, too!
  • If you decide to display your flowers in your kitchen, keep them away from your fruit bowl. Many fruits emit a gas that can shorten the lifespan of your blooms.
  • Change the water every day, and clean the vase each time you do so. Bacteria on the edge of a vase can cause your flowers to wilt prematurely. Once the flowers begin to die, take the wilted ones out of the vase.

With just a little work and testing what flower arrangements look best, you will be able to decorate every room in your house with just a little work. Have fun testing out different bouquets and types of flowers for the season.

Ordering Your Flowers Online vs. at a Florist

If you’re considering ordering a bouquet of flowers for home decoration, a special occasion, or for a loved one, you may be wondering if you should order them online or stop in a local florist’s shop. Everyone loves supporting local businesses, but sometimes the convenience of being able to order over the phone or online trumps having to make a trip to the store.
Luckily, with Teleflora, you get to experience the convenience of ordering online, while also supporting your local florists. All flower arrangement orders are filled and hand-delivered by a local florist! Teleflora flowers are also always delivered in a beautiful keepsake vase, never a box like some online services use. Here are some of the benefits of ordering with Teleflora:

You Can Order Any Time of the Day
Did you wake up in the middle of the night with the sinking realization that the next day is your one-year anniversary with your girlfriend? You can just jump online and place an order to be filled and delivered before your girlfriend even suspects that you forgot. Teleflora has your back with same-day flower deliveryavailable on most of our bouquets. Not everyone has the time to seek out a reputable florist and pick out a bouquet, so ordering online will certainly come in handy. The process is quick and simple, so even the busiest people can send flowers to their loved ones. It’s also lovely to have the option to order flowers for someone any time the mood strikes – not just when your favorite florist is open for business.

You Can Order Ahead of Time
If you want to avoid a situation like the one mentioned above, you can order flowers online to be delivered at any time in the future. For example, if you have a little bit of extra cash before the holidays, you can order early, so you don’t have worry about trying to stretch pennies too close to Christmas. This makes the flower-buying experience easy and affordable with any kind of budget. With Teleflora, there’s no excuse to forget to send flowers online!
You Have a Large Selection to Choose From
No matter what kind of message you want to send with your flowers, you’ll have plenty of options to customize when you order online. The flowers to choose from update each season, so every bouquet will be fresh and of the highest quality your local florist can offer. If you have specific blooms in mind, you can make sure they’ll be included in your flower delivery. No need to choose from an already-picked-over selection of roses around Valentine’s Day, when you can get creative!

You Don’t Have to Live Nearby
While nobody is going to turn down some fresh flowers just recently picked up from the local florist, it’s not always possible to stop by your significant other’s house with a gorgeous bouquet. If you’re on a trip, and want to let your boyfriend or girlfriend know you’re thinking about him or her, having some flowers delivered is one of the best ways to send that message. Ordering online is a great option if you’re sending flowers to someone who lives far away as well. Now it’s easier than ever send those mom flowers for Mother’s Day!
Whether you order your flowers online, visit a local florist, or create a bouquet by hand, it is the thought that counts. If it comes from the heart, your gesture will be appreciated and well received!

Wedding Flower Trends for Fall

There are few things more aesthetically appealing than a fall wedding, with the perfect backdrop of rich, golden leaves still in the trees. With September and October being two very popular wedding months, there’s no doubt that a number of autumn brides are putting a lot of thought into their floral arrangements. While pastels and brights may be a given for spring or summer wedding, it can be a little more challenging to figure out what kinds of flowers will really make your fall wedding pop. Here are some tips for figuring out your fall flower arrangements for your wedding

A New Color Palette
When it comes to choosing wedding flowers, color is typically the first thing on a bride’s mind. If you’re an autumn bride, you’re in luck because your possibilities are endless. In addition to incorporating some pastels into your bridal bouquet and centerpieces, you also have the option of rich, warm jewel tones that can match or complement your wedding color scheme. If your colors are teal and maroon, consider some light pink or ivory blooms, like in the Isn’t It Romantic bouquet to break up a bouquet of rich, deeper tones.

Flowers Aren’t Your Only Option
While a bouquet reminiscent of freshly-picked wildflowers is certainly an option for a fall flower bouquet, there is also an abundance of lush, gorgeous greenery that’ll add something special. The best part is that so much of it is in season in the fall. For example, some long fern leaves or hypericum berries will break up the floral arrangement and give it a real autumnal vibe. If you want to get really crafty and creative, you can even work some colorful leaves into your floral decor. Polished bouquets are also a hot trend for fall, rather than the cascading bouquets of the spring and summer. Try wrapping the handle in a fabric that fits the aesthetic of the wedding. Burlap would be adorable for a September barn wedding, or black lace would be dramatic and elegant for spooky October nuptials.

What’s in Season for Fall?
One benefit that spring and summer weddings have over fall weddings is the endless amount of flowers that are available locally. As summer comes to an end, that list grows a bit shorter. While you can always outsource and order exotic blooms, that can get pricey very quickly. However you shouldn’t fear! There are still plenty of gorgeous fall flowers to choose from. Here are some of the most popular blooms in season in the fall:
  • September: Hyacinthus, alstromeria, gerbera, daffodil, freesia, iris, lillium stargazer, magnolia, rose, snap dragon, stock, sunflower, zinnia.
  • October: Stock, alstromeria, calla, delphumium, freesia, gerbera, iris, liatris, magniolia, rose, snap dragon, sunflower.

Don’t Forget Centerpieces
You don’t want to spend so much time on your bridal party bouquets that you forget the centerpieces for your reception! There are so many options for your centerpieces this time of year, from fall flower arrangements to gorgeous pumpkin and gourd displays. Try stepping out of the box with nontraditional containers for your centerpieces instead of a vase. Mason jars, bottles, and even paint cans can serve as rustic options for your wedding decor.

If you’re planning a fall wedding, an Elegant Traditions or Lush and Lovely centerpiece is exactly what you’re looking for. Both of these centerpieces offer deep colors that will perfectly complement your seasonal decor.

Safe Flowers for Cats and Dogs

Most pet owners know there are some plants and flowers that will make their pet sick. Since it’s practically impossible to guarantee your furry friend won’t chow down on your leafy decor, having pet-safe plants is a must. However, some cat and dog parents simply skip plants and floral displays altogether.
Fortunately, you don’t have to go this route. If you get arrangements that feature these pet safe flowers, you won’t have to worry about Fluffy or Fido discovering a poisonous midnight snack. These flowers and plants will make your home look stunning and keep your pets safe from harm:

Phalaenopsis Orchids
Phalaenopsis orchids, also known as moth orchids, are one of the neatest plants you can have in your home. Unlike some of their more complicated orchid cousins, Phalaenopsis are delightfully easy to grow. It’s best to water these plants in the morning, either once a week or when the potting medium feels dry. They’re low-light orchids, so any window where they’re not exposed directly to the sun will treat them well. Since they’re pet-safe, you don’t have to worry too much if the best window is Fluffy’s favorite seat – your cat or dog can coexist in harmony with this flower. Teleflora’s Opulent Orchids planter is a great way to get started with this beautiful bloom.

Gerbera Daisies
Gerbera daisies’ bright color and plethora of variation make them a fan favorite at most florists. The fact that they’re non-toxic to cats and dogs should make them a must-have for pet parents, as well. Because you can get these flowers in so many different hues, you can use them to create an arrangement for any mood or occasion. Their bright, sunny look will bring happiness to nearly any room.

Roses
If you’re looking to declare your love for the cat or dog owner in your life, you can’t go wrong with roses. Not only are these flowers the quintessential blooms of romance, they’re perfectly pet-safe. All you have to watch out for when it comes to roses are their sidekicks – many bouquets are also filled with baby’s breath, which is not safe for cats and dogs. Other fillers, like white limonium – used in the Make Me Blush Bouquet – can create the same varied look without putting your love’s furry friend in harm.

Possible Poisoning?
If your cat or dog displays the following symptoms after coming into contact or ingesting an unknown plant, they may have been poisoned:
  • Vomiting
  • Diarrhea
  • Difficulty breathing
  • Drooling more than usual
  • Excessive thirst and frequent urination
  • Change in regular heartbeat – fast, slow or arrhythmic

If you’re worried your cat or dog might have eaten a flower that could hurt them, or if you know they’ve ingested a harmful plant, take them to an emergency veterinarian. If you have access to it, bring along some of the suspected plant. Identifying the source of the problem is a vital step in returning your pet to good health. The faster you are able to get your cat or dog into a vet’s care, the more likely they are to return to their happy, healthy selves.
