Giving Back With Flowers on Giving Tuesday

          While we have ample opportunities to give to family and friends this season, don't forget about one more. Giving Tuesday, a global initiative to promote charitable giving across the world, falls on November 28, just a day after Cyber Monday and the previous week's super spendy Black Friday. We at Central Square Florist offer a unique opportunity to give back to our Boston community, and it's available all year long. Read More about Giving Back With Flowers on Giving Tuesday »

Perfect Poinsettias for the Holiday Office

Ready to make your workplace really sparkle this holiday season, but not sure where to start? You're not alone. While you may have plenty of boxed-up decor to pull from the back office, it's not always easy to decorate our workplaces for the holidays. Unlike a home, a commercial space is often large, with lots of vertical space and furniture that can't be moved on a whim. A business has to think about clients and customers as well as its coworkers when it comes to a decorating effort. And yet, when we come together as a team to deck our workplace halls, it can be one of the most fun days spent with our colleagues all year.

Harvest Your Thanksgiving Table

If you've been tapped to host Thanksgiving this year, you already know you've got your work cut out for you. It can be a total joy to bring everyone together in your home, but it's no easy feat. One of the main considerations you have is where to put everybody who does come, whether you have to add chairs to your dining room set-up from the kitchen or improvise a kid's table to the side. We think it's the food that requires the most effort, but in many cases, it's the dining logistics. At Central Square Florist, we believe that crowning your Thanksgiving table with a stellar centerpiece is the most fun part of organizing it. Read More about Harvest Your Thanksgiving Table »

Floral Gifts for the Mostess Hostess

The language of flowers is never more articulate than on the topic of gratitude. In the U.S. and across the globe, it's customary to offer fresh blooms as a thank you for hosting a formal event or dinner. Every culture has its own considerations when it comes to giving a floral hostess gift - many places in Europe follow the old tradition of bringing only an odd number of flowers, for instance - but we at Central Square Florist feel anything goes. Well, almost. Read More about Floral Gifts for the Mostess Hostess »

Patriotic Flowers for Veterans Day

Our town doesn't skimp when it comes to celebrating Veterans Day. The Boston area has a dozen celebrations and ceremonies on the calendar this year, which makes us at Central Square Florist very proud. We've been honoring those who served in our U.S. military in one form or another since 1919 when Veterans Day was known as "Armistice Day" and centered on commemorating the end of WWI the year before. As it evolved into what it is today, so did the tributes. We have parades, observances, and even 5Ks devoted to honoring our most important patriots. But the fanfare can also come in the form of a bouquet of patriotic flowers, something meaningful, respectful, and intended to bring happiness to the worthy recipient.
