A Lush Bouquet For Your Bestie

They say friendship is when someone knows all about you but likes you anyway. Best friends are those special individuals that know all our quirks and imperfections and still love us unconditionally. Sometimes we just need to take a moment and recognize how important our friends are to us. June 8th is a great time to honor those precious friendships by celebrating Best Friend’s Day. Of course, at Ah Sam Flowers we believe the best way to show your best friend how much your value her is with a beautiful bouquet of flowers. Read More about A Lush Bouquet For Your Bestie »

Flowers For Our Caretakers And Educators

It's a double whammy May 6 through May 12---both Nurses and Teachers Appreciation Week. Ah Sam Florist has a bevy of spring flowers to choose from, but we also think there's a special kind of design you want to offer to our most special people. These are two fields that are overwhelmingly dominated by women, so we're thinking of this as a chance to honor and celebrate our Super Ladies---the ones who nurture us, teach us and by and large raise us. For them, only a bright, bountiful arrangement will do. Read More about Flowers For Our Caretakers And Educators »

When Flowers Really Matter To Give

There are occasions that call for flowers and then there are occasions that are made better by flowers. It's in these latter instances that offering a flower gift could be a gesture that dates back centuries, and when you participate in it, you're essentially connecting to a ritual that has been practiced by many and established as having a powerful effect. We here at Ah Sam Florist believe that the flowers we give to an expectant couple or a couple who has welcomed a new baby are especially meaningful.

Make It A Designer’s Choice Kind Of Valentine’s Day

Valentine's Day comes with its own kind of pressure: the pressure to give flowers and then the pressure to give the right kind. While it's true you can't go wrong with a vase of long-stemmed red roses, they can often seem a little rote and obligatory. Offering a custom piece is the antidote to that feeling, both on your part and on the part of the recipient. Here at Ah Sam Florist, we love having the opportunity to work with you in creating a gorgeous original design that will really enthrall your special someone.
