For Memorial Day May 31st, the skilled floral designers at Huisman Flowers will help you select a caring, thoughtful and patriot flower arrangement or green plant to honor a special military hero and members of his or her family.

Officially named a federal holiday in 1971, Memorial Day was in earlier years referred to as Decoration Day and started after the Civil War. At that time people were holding tributes to the thousands of fallen American Soldiers that died in the Civil War. The tradition was to decorate graves with beautiful flowers and recite prayers. Today, in addition to visiting memorials, people attend or participate in parades and have family gatherings.

There are many ways to reflect on our fallen heroes, including ceremonies, celebrations, and festive occasions that focus on patriotism and how much we value the freedom that we hold dear. They fought for us and now we must remember and honor them.

At all Memorial Day celebrations and remembrances, flowers are a way to reflect the beauty and love represented in remembering these heroes, many of which were our loved ones. To help you get ready for this weekend’s events, here are some floral products from Huisman Flowers to celebrate the Red, White, and Blue whether you are at a gravesite service, barbecue, parade, or block party:
