Please Order your Easter and Passover Flowers from Huisman Flowers
Huisman Flowers offers 24 Hour Online Ordering Easter Huisman Flowers would be delighted to have you shop with us for elegant and fresh Easter and Passover Flowers. Easter is such a lovely family holiday with the parades, easter egg hunts and families gathering for church and Easter dinner. Easter arrives this year on April 17th. An interesting and maybe not a commonly known fact about Easter is that it is referred to as the "moveable feast". This is an understandable label because Easter is a Religious Holiday that moves from year to year. Not every holiday can claim that. Easter occurs after the first Full Moon following the start of Spring. This April Full Moon is referred to as the "Paschal Moon" or Pink Moon and is April's first Full Moon. Easter, as with other holidays, ushers in a changing of the seasons. That season of course being Spring. Early history reveals that the Easter festival was more celebrated by Catholics than Protestants. The Puritans of New England considered both Easter and Christmas as festivals for heavy drinking and merrymaking. However, by the 19th century this belief had changed, and the holidays became a time to spend joyous moments with family. Today customary traditions of Easter Egg Hunting, Parades and the Easter Bunny have become the norm. Passover In the Jewish faith, this time of the year is referred to as Passover. The Hebrew Bible commemorates Passover as a festival which celebrates the liberation of the Jewish people from slavery in Egypt. This is referenced in the Book of Exodus. During the time of Jesus, Jewish pilgrims flocked to Jerusalem in hope that God would liberate them from the Romans. On one Passover, Jesus traveled to Jerusalem and the resulting disturbance in the Temple ultimately led to his crucifixion. Passover Flowers are an appropriate gift. The best colors for this holiday are usually Blue and White. Pop of Springtime Bouquet Spring positively pops with this whimsical bouquet! Bursting with color and fun, it features pretty pink tulips, sunshiny alstroemeria, purple asters, and don't forget the playful Easter eggs!

Huisman Flowers offers caring wedding consultation services for February National Wedding Month
Huisman Flowers February National Wedding Month Normally, Weddings are hosted in either June, August or September. However, the National Association of Bridal Consultants has named this month as February National Wedding Month. The reason February is referred to as National Wedding Month is because during the holiday season of Christmas and New Year's, many wedding proposals take place. Consequently, wedding plans begin to take shape. Booking venues, choosing wedding attire and making selections for flowers and entertainment all commence. This increased activity surrounding weddings has been the reason February is dubbed National Weddings Month. Each year in the United States, there are an estimated 2.4 million couples that get married. It is no surprise that Valentine's Day is the most romantic of the holidays. Second only to New Year's Day, there are many proposals during this time and couples like getting married on Valentine's Day. Couples have this special day to commemorate their wedding anniversary. Then there is the leap year factor causing some couples to get married on February 29th. In addition, Wedding Planning can commence as a result of the many proposals that take place in February. For example, Valentine's Day tops the list of some reports as being the number one engagement month of the year. Below is how one study reports the top five engagement days and months. February National Wedding Month Currently, Valentine's Day is number one for engagements. However, that is a fairly recent trend which is thought to be covid related. Historically, Christmas Day has topped the listed. Nonetheless, Valentine's Day is clearly the winner for romantic days and engagements will always be popular. Number two is New Year's Day. One reason for this is that many couples desire starting off the New Year with an exciting commitment to their sweetheart. Christmas Day previously topped the list and perhaps will return to the number one spot. Again, the pandemic is thought to have altered plans since its introduction in early 2020. Another popular wedding proposal day is the Fourth of July. Consequently, it is difficult to predict future trends with the pandemic affects but these days have historically shown to be the most popular.

Huisman Flowers highly recommends Early Ordering this Valentine’s Day
Huisman Flowers Early Ordering this Valentine's Day The supply chain has affected the Flower industry as it has most industries. Huisman Flowers provides great service and caring products to customers. We are focused to stay ahead of supply issues. Huisman Flowers makes Early Ordering this Valentine's Day very convenient and easy. As we are getting closer to Valentine's Day, please place orders well in advance. Early Valentine's Flower Ordering Due to the pandemic, there were fewer than normal plantings at flower farms. What is more, farm owners were forced to shut down because of the need to quarantine. Consequently, they were forced to lay off workers. In some cases, they had to shut down their farms completely. An estimated 247,717 floral worker jobs were lost between 2019 and 2020. South America is one of the top countries for flower production. The growing conditions have historically been very good on that continent. However, recent weather pattern changes have caused colder nights and more rain than is required. Therefore, the health of flower plants has been negatively affected. Similarly, U.S. Flower Farms have suffered as well. For example, California is a top flower producer. Drought, wildfire and the unpredicted flooding has caused much damage to flower crops. Interestingly, Weddings are going through a boom period. According to reports there were 1.3 million weddings in 2020. Then in 2021 that grew to 1.93 million. It is predicted that there could be 2.47 million in 2022. Of course, this will most likely normalize once the back log of delayed weddings is addressed. For this reason, it is easy to see what a strain this has placed on flower shoppes. Adjustments to Flower Shortage Above all, Huisman Flowers has a strong desire to satisfy customers with caring service and beautiful flowers. Thus, we have made adjustments to our practices and communications to our customers. Below are some areas we have focused on to make this supply chain issue as easy to embrace as we can. In our communications to customers, we have told customers about the current flower shortage we are dealing with. As a result, there are some cases where clients need to be more flexible in their flower arrangement selection. Importantly, earlier ordering is key to help us have the best chance of meeting our customer's specific product needs. Huisman Flowers has extremely talented floral designers. Therefore, we are using those talents to create wonderful arrangements. Our mission is to create the most elegant and beautiful bouquets and arrangements working with what we have. For instance, some people do not know that talented designers can make a Rose look like a Peony or a Tulip to look like a Gardenia. Island Romance Paradise found!
