Pantone’s Purple Expressed In Flowers

If you don't know about Pantone's Color Of The Year, allow us here at Central Square Florist to clue you in.

And it also attempts to predict what we'll be feeling or thinking in the future. This year's choice is Ultra Violet, a brilliant purple. Read More about Pantone’s Purple Expressed In Flowers »

Give Your Friends The Gift Of Flowers

Some holidays are really easy to celebrate, and we here at Central Square Florist feel like Galentine's Day is one of them. What's Galentine's Day you ask? Allow us to explain.

Instead of merely celebrating romantic love, February can now dedicate itself to honoring all types of love, including the kind between girl friends. On this day, women get together to have lunch or dinner or to make it a girls night out. There's no wrong way to celebrate your love for your girlfriends.

At Central Square Florist, we've done our homework and know that many studies confirm what we've long suspected: flowers aren't just aesthetically pleasing to look at, they benefit the body and the mind, too.

The benefits to their spirit are harder to measure, but people consistently report a feeling of happiness and a more positive outlook when they are gifted flowers.

Magical Winter Flowers

When you think of winter flowers, are tulips the first thing to spring to mind? We at Central Square Florist didn't think so, but maybe they should be. Hear us out. Tulips are actually appearing in winter arrangements these days with increasing regularity. And while we most associate them with spring, when they tend to bloom, they can be coaxed to do so in winter as well. Sleek, elegant and, like roses, beautiful in a bunch, they can be just the breath of fresh air you need in your home during winter. Read More about Magical Winter Flowers »
