Yep, Mother’s Day is Sunday May 8th and you know you want to be prepared this year. This time around, you’re gonna do your due diligence and honour her the way you know she deserves. We get it, we have moms too and this is a special time of year for Terrafolia as well… Actually, it’s our busiest! Not everyone has a lover (like at Valentine’s) but everyone’s got a mom. :) An ode to Mother’s Day, here are our 5 favourite ways to honour mom: WRITE HER A LETTER Yeah gift cards are nice, but you know what’s even nicer? A card that’s filled with your handwriting about how much you appreciate her and everything she’s done for you and those around her. Writing letters on Mother’s Day is a lost holiday tradition; Put down the iPad, and get a pen and paper. When was the last time you sat down to write a letter anyway? We bet you she keeps it forever too. IF IT’S BROKE, FIX IT You know that leaky faucet she’s mentioned a few times? Or that top shelf she has to get out a step-stool to clean? Or how about her uber-slow computer? A mother’s environment is very important to her, there are never enough hours in the day to get it just the way she wants it. Start paying attention now to the little things she wishes she had a chance to do, then on Mother’s Day, hire someone to get it done or come to the rescue yourself. GET AN “A” FOR EFFORT Is she a foodie? Seems obvious, but take her to a restaurant she’s never been to before, even if it’s not around the corner, it’ll make her feel really special and she’ll know this isn’t just another dinner. Be sure to make reservations though, Mother’s Day is typically the busiest day of the year. Is she often stressed? Find out her favourite spa and send her for a massage, it’s a luxury she likely doesn’t allow herself too often. Creative mom? Find a local workshop or course offered in something you know she always wanted to try or improve on, like a photography group or painting classes. Avid Reader? Get book recommendations and take a little time to find something you know she’ll love. What’s the idea here? Don’t be lazy. CALL YOUR MOTHER Yeah, we’ve all heard this one a few times, but how about you take a different swing at this and rather than repeating it to yourself in your guilt ridden head, actually schedule it. That’s right, commit to calling mom every few days or even once a week if that fits better with you. The point is, you’ll be setting aside time, regularly. Set up an automatic reminder (on repeat) to call her just to catch up, fill her in on what’s new in your life and to ask how she’s doing. You know you can spare 10-20 min every Sunday evening, why not start on May 8th? MAKE HER SMILE Nothing says “just because I love you” more than flowers. Sure they’re a typical Mother’s Day gift, but there’s a very important reason for that; They make people happy. It’s Spring, remind her of how fresh and beautiful she is in one of the most beautifully simple ways. Flowers aren’t just for wedding and funerals, no, they don’t last forever (though they will in her heart), but that’s sort of the point isn’t it? What says you’re worth it more than something so special and expressive? Even if you’re far away, flower delivery is available everywhere by your local florist. Mother’s Day is a very busy time of year for florists, so just be sure to order early. Browse our Mother’s Day Flowers now. Oh, and of course a big warm Happy Mother’s Day to all you deserving moms from all of us at Terrafolia Flowers!

COMMANDEZ MAINTENANT Leave a comment from → français, Holidays & Seasons HOW TO GET THE MOST FROM YOUR FLORIST AT VALENTINE’S DAY January 22, 2011 tags: How To, Valentine's Day by Terrafolia Flowers If you’ve ever given Valentine’s Day Flowers to your beloved, you know that showing up at your local florist on the 14th is not so wise. Valentine’s Day is the single busiest day of the year for florists, and it is notorious in the industry for last-minute panic. Unlike Mother’s Day which can have florists running & making deliveries for a week, Valentine’s Day is thought of as “day of–do or die”. Florists have a love/hate relationship with the holiday; sure, business is great, but oh boy do we work for it. Since your florist is in such high demand at this time of year, mishaps can happen, but if you are armed with the right information, your florist will make this Valentine’s Day one that will knock her socks off. HERE ARE OUR TIPS TO GETTING THE MOST FROM YOUR FLORIST FOR VALENTINE’S DAY: ORDER EARLY This one should be pretty obvious but you’d be surprised how many calls we receive to have flowers delivered at 3pm on the 14th of February (no joke). At that time many florists have already unplugged their phones so they can handle their walk-in clients. It should go without saying, but be smart and be courteous, place your orders for delivery and pick-up a week in advance. HAVE FLOWERS DELIVERED AHEAD OF TIME Of course the most obvious day for Valentine’s Day delivery is Valentine’s Day itself, but if you consider sending your gift a day or 2 early you’ll see how much it just makes sense. What if a major snow storm hit in your area that made deliveries impossible? What if you’re not exactly sure where she’ll be but you know she’ll be home the day before? Or what if there were some amazing incentive from your florist to send your flowers early? BE PATIENT Since this holiday can have florists (literally) running, when our clients offer patience, we swoon. Temporary staff, long hours, over the top receiving/cleaning of flowers, winter roads and bursts of last-minute orders can leave us stretched pretty thin. Every year we remark at the irony that the one day we’re pushed the hardest, is the one day that most clients will judge our shop for the year. We know this is an important day for you, and we push ourselves above and beyond in the name of your love. A little patience will go a long way to ensuring you get only the very best service. BE ORIGINAL It’s said that 99% of all roses produced in a year are sold on 1 day, this can have a big effect on not only the price of red roses at this time of year, but also the availability and quality. Instead of sending a dozen red roses, why not send a mixed bouquet that includes red roses instead? Even pink roses, a vase of all red mixed flowers, an exotic bouquet or red roses paired with another favourite are all great alternatives to the traditional. It will show that you thought things through, and didn’t just go for the obvious choice. FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS Much of the beauty of giving flowers is that they last a lifetime in the memory of the person who received them, but to get the longest vase life, follow the care instructions included with your bouquet. If you’re bringing home a bouquet of wrapped flowers, cut the stems underwater and fill the vase (we mean fill) with fresh lukewarm water and the floral solution included by your florist. Every couple of days re-cut the stems and add fresh water (more here). Typically at this time of year, Roses will last 3-5 days and other flowers can stay beautiful for a week, two or even longer depending on their variety. AND NOW YOU KNOW… Follow these tips, and you’ll be sure to have a Valentine’s Day you both won’t soon forget. Happy Valentine’s Day! Have any more pointers or resources? Be sure to comment and let us know! 2 Comments from → Flower Care, Flowers, Holidays & Seasons, Ordering Flowers, The Floral Industry THE SIGNIFICANCE OF ‘IN LIEU OF FLOWERS’ August 12, 2010 tags: flowers for sympathy, funeral flowers, in lieu of flowers by Terrafolia Flowers [Note: We are asked almost daily about the meaning of ‘in lieu of flowers’, even though it could be interpreted as self-serving, we thought it was important to demystify it for you as best we can.] When it comes to funerals people have the tendency to tread very lightly with traditions, customs and following the family’s wishes. It’s no surprise that when you hear or read the words “in lieu of flowers” you’d assume that means the family prefers not to receive them. Truth is, this is usually just a bad habit of the Funeral Director to say the family wishes to have a donation made on behalf of the deceased, not that they wish not to receive flowers at all. Funeral Directors themselves rank flowers & plants above even food and sympathy cards as providing the most comfort to those grieving. NOT JUST FOR SHOW Consider that 77% of people polled in this nationwide survey felt flowers at the funeral brighten up the somber environment of the funeral home. 80% agreed that looking at the cards to see who sent the flowers was a comfort to them. Also, interestingly 53% agreed the flowers and plants provided something to talk about during the visitation. When the flowers themselves are gone, the grieving always remember the flowers sent and who sent them. We have families even call to thank us, the Florist! You can just imagine what the gesture meant from those sending the flowers. THE ROOT OF THE MATTER “Flowers have a long association with the funerary practices of humans, beginning in pre-history. In fact, the archeological record shows evidence of flowers being buried with the remains of Neanderthal men. Ancient civilizations across Europe and the Middle East also burned, buried or entombed flowers with their dead. With their innate processes of development…. from infant seed to youthful sprout to fully blossomed adult to withering petals, and culminating in the ripening pods or fruits which bear within them the promise of life renewed….flowers are an elegant metaphor for the ongoing cycle of life itself, and a symbol of immortality; something which even cavemen understood. Flowers are life exemplified.” Read more Below is a video produced (way back when) by The Society of American Florists to inform Florists & individuals on the subject. So next time you see the words “in lieu of flowers” remember that it might just mean the Funeral Director needs to expand their vocabulary. The choice remains yours, a donation is always a very nice way to express your sympathies and commemorate those gone, just don’t forget the warmth and comfort that flowers bring to those left behind too. OF COURSE, WE ARE HERE TO HELP If you are looking to send flowers to those closest to the deceased, browse appropriate flowers for the service and visitation. Remember to check the local Obituaries to ensure you have all information needed for the delivery. If you don’t think that flowers are appropriate for the funeral home, many people also choose to send flowers to the home. If you are looking for funeral flowers for a loved one such as a casket or urn spray, please visit our catalogue or call us during business hours at 514-683-3533 or 1-888-683-7799.
