Just Because Day ... and Category

Today, for whatever reason, is Just Because Day.

Believe it or not, Paul Wood Florist is forward-thinking. We've had a Just Because category on our website for years!

Here's a couple of the arrangements up on that page right now. Feel free to browse the category yourself as well, and let us know if you have questions.

Colorado Vacation Cube

Vibrant, vivid summer colors nestled into a cube make a perfect centerpiece or arrangement for a side table or office.

Sunshine Brilliance

Orange, pink, and yellow in a tall, upright design make a beautiful statement, especially with an accent of trailing grasses.

Kiss and Make Up Day

Had a fight recently? Need a heartfelt way to apologize?

Paul Wood designers would be happy to put together a flower arrangement or dish garden (for the partner, friend, or family member with a green thumb) to help you express what you need to say.

Enchanted Treasure

It's Kiss and Make Up Day. Don't wait!

Thank a Senior Citizen

If you volunteer with senior citizens ...

If you have an elderly family member ... 

If you've just got a heart for senior citizens ... 

Today is Senior Citizens Day. What better way to express your thoughts than with a beautiful, classic flower arrangement?

Simply Summer

Let our designers at Paul Wood Florist put together something that expresses more than words can say.

V-J Day

Today and tomorrow (August 14-15) commemorates the end of World War II.

The discrepancy comes from the progression of events:

Japan surrendered on August 14, 1945.

The news of the surrender wasn't announced until August 15, 1945.

The formal surrender ceremony took place on September 2.

Regardless of which day you celebrate, today is a day to remember. Take a moment.

If You're a Middle Child ...

... today is your day! It's Middle Child Day!

Middle children tend to be the caring, compassionate, empathetic peace makers in the family. Without you, none of the rest of us would get along!

It's Not Easy Being Green Cube

So rule the roost, give the orders, go out to lunch, treat yourself to flowers or a movie or an afternoon off to do absolutely nothing, and enjoy it.

We appreciate you!

Parents: Celebrate Your Kids

August 11 is Son and Daughter Day.

We know, we know. As if these kids don't already have individual birthdays, now there's a day to celebrate them as a whole?

Why not?

Get together with the family and just appreciate one another's company. You might need a small centerpiece or a floral design for the buffet table. Keep Paul Wood in mind.

But most of all, remember to say thank you.

Thanks to the Coasties

If you know a member of the United States Coast Guard, remember to take a moment today to call, Tweet, message, or get in touch with that person and thank him or her for their service to our country. It's U.S. Coast Guard Day. Don't let a single member go unacknowledged!

Four Holidays in One!

Think flowers as gifts to celebrate four holidays in one tomorrow!

August 3 is Friendship Day. Say "thank you" to your close friends, perhaps with small bud vases, or individual mixed summer corsages.

Sorbet Dream

It's also International Forgiveness Day. It's so hard to physically say "I forgive you" or "Will you forgive me?" but they're some of the most important words we can use in our relationships. Try it with flowers or a plant instead.

It's Sisters Day. When was the last time you had a chance to talk to your sister, or get together and do something, or just appreciate her for being who she is? Say it with flowers!

And finally, August 3 is National Watermelon Day!

Okay, there aren't very many ways to celebrate watermelon with flowers, so just go have a slice and enjoy the day!
