Bring This Year’s “It” Color Into Your Life

Renowned color company Pantone has announced their pick for Color of the Year, and it's Ultra Violet, an intriguing purple. We here at Currans Flowers are excited for this hue's possibilities, mostly because we love a good purple flower but also because of what the color is supposed to signify. Pantone spends a lot of time coming up with it's selection, meeting with other international color experts and thinking about what color will best embody the spirit of the times as well as look ahead to the future.

What To Get Your Bestie On Galentine’s Day

If you haven't heard of Galentine's Day (February 13th), let us at Currans Flowers be the first to introduce the idea to you. In a 2010 episode of NBC's Parks and Recreation, main character Leslie Knope took all of her ladies to lunch in honor of what she called Galentine's Day, a day devoted to celebrating female friendships. The idea clearly resonated beyond the show's audience, with more and more women deciding to take a long lunch with their ladies or to make it a true girls night out each year.

Wildflowers To Heal The Body And Soul

Flowers aren't merely decorative, they are major players in our health and well being. They've been used for centuries in medicinal tinctures or added to teas. Certain essences are said to have the ability to reduce stress and promote sleep. When it comes to the value of flowers as a get well gift, there's really no competition. Curran's Flowers is well aware of these benefits, as study after study confirms that flowers really do promote better health. A 2008 study found that, for instance, patients who have flowers or a potted plant in their hospital room rely on pain medication less and have lower blood pressure overall.

Fun Winter Flowers

Liberate yourself from the traditional red-and-green decor of the holidays - it's time to take a breather! We here at Curran's Flowers want to remind you to celebrate all colors of the rainbow as you decorate your home for the holidays. Our flowers certainly reflect all of them. Yes, even in winter. A more modern approach to winter flowers calls for sleeker, more simple designs that pull in bright, poppy colors. This is an interesting contrast to the more rustic and lavish seasonal arrangements you've probably relied on to prepare your house for Santa. Read More about Fun Winter Flowers »

2018’s Magnificent Mediterranean Looks

International Floral Distributors has released their annual trend forecast, identifying four floral design approaches that would have anyone (especially us here at Curran's Flowers) excited. It's hard to love one trend more than another, given that they all build on 2018's trend toward brighter, bolder blooms (begin saying your goodbyes to the faded, muted hues of the last couple of years) and blend of free-form flowers with a polished, modern edge.

A Dazzling Secret Santa Gift

Secret Santa is set to be one of our most enduring gift exchange traditions, though it's a fairly new one here in the U.S. Most credit the latest incarnation of the anonymous gift swap to 20th century philanthropist Larry Dean Stewart, who started distributing $100 to people in the Kansas City streets and founded the Society of Secret Santas. But the swap has its roots in an old Scandinavian Christmas custom and appears in German folklore as well. It's enjoyed under different names throughout the West and spawned countless variations here, including online Secret Santa, Thieving Santa, Casino Santa, Conspiracy Santa... We could go on, but our main point here at Currans Flowers is, you're going to need a good gift for it. Read More about A Dazzling Secret Santa Gift »

Gracious Centerpieces for Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving is but a minute away, but there's still time to grace your table with flowers. The centerpiece is one of our most cherished holiday traditions. Both the cornucopia - an age-old approach to suggesting abundance on one's table - and the centerpiece have a rich history. These days, the two have even been blended in some cases, with flowers spilling out of the horn of plenty instead of fruit. Here at Curran's Flowers we have a variety of blooms for your holiday table, whether you're looking for a traditional centerpiece or want something a little more modern.
