Patriotic Christmas Flowers

While the holiday season is typically a joyful time of merriment and glad tidings, for many who have lost loved ones, it can be a grievous time remembering those who are no longer here. For these individuals, the Wreaths Across America wreath-laying program offers comfort in the form of ceremony. Performed originally at Arlington National Cemetery, this ceremony is now conducted in hundreds of locations across the nation and abroad. For many families of veterans, this day can be one of healing and purpose, allowing them to memorialize their fallen hero's sacrifice and service in a heart-warming tribute. The floral artisans at Shotwell Floral have a beautiful collection of patriotic Christmas flowers and wreaths dedicated to helping you celebrate the season as you see fit.

Anything goes as you stack bowls and plates for a three-tiered display of every autumn veggie you can find. Read More about Fall Up Your Table »
