Colors of the Season

Let’s chat…

Fall is such a great time of year. Be sure to stop in the store sometime and you’ll find we are changing colors in anticipation of the coming season. Don’t you just love the vivid hues of autumn.


Decorative front door wreaths for autumn are a fun way to reflect your style and draw attention to your front door as you welcome your friends and neighbors. Fall wreaths can make an unassuming porch stand out or add to the beauty of a well decorated porch or entrance.

Choosing the right wreath is important. All door wreaths regardless of the type will fade when exposed to direct sunlight. Dried, preserved and silk wreaths will do well when they are placed on a covered porch and may even last two to three years. But be careful ,some preserved wreaths , especially eucalyptus, use a preservative and coloring in the flora and occasionally , when exposed to high humidity or direct sunlight may leak the preservative. It is best to test the wreath by placing it somewhere outside for a couple of days to make sure this doesn’t happen. Silk wreaths are in my opinion the most durable of all if your door is exposed directly to the elements.

Adding a door wreath to your home or office, brightens up the entire area with a splash of color. We offer wreaths which are good quality , competitive in price, and come in a variety of shapes, style and colors to fit your decorative style. And remember wreaths look great on interior doors also.

Here at LaRosa’s Flowers we are constantly adding new silk arrangements and wreaths to our collection. And of course we would be happy to design something special for you if you don’t see it in the store. Your ideas bring out the artist in us.

Back to School

Let’s chat…

August is here and as summer winds down and fall approaches, parents and kids everywhere prepare for back to school time.

The object of education is to prepare the young to educate themselves throughout their lives.
Robert Maynard Hutchins

The whole purpose of education is to turn mirrors into windows .-Sydney J. Harris

My favorite website of the week www.familyfun.go.com has great back to school ideas and fun craft projects to get the kids excited. Plus, parents you’ll find handy tips and reminders to help make the transition to the new school year a little bit easier.

Starting a new school year is important at any age. Let’s celebrate the start of a new year by showing students and teachers our support with back to school theme floral arrangements.



Surprising your college bound geniuses with a decorative plant or food basket can make a dorm room feel like home. What could be better than receiving a flower delivery with an encouraging message from Mom and Dad the first week or two away from home.




I think most of us are looking forward to fall this year a little more than usual.. Autumn is a beautiful time of year bringing in cool crisp weather as well as breathtaking beautiful colors.



Autumn is a second spring when every leaf is a flower . - Albert Camus

As always, wishing you peace + and love.

Summer is in full swing...

Let’s chat….

Summer is in full swing and the gardens are in full bloom.

There is nothing better than to come home from work and head straight out into the garden. Just being outdoors, however small your flower garden, is the perfect antidote to the stresses of a busy day. My favorite times spent in the garden are the early morning and evening hours. It’s amazing how quiet and peaceful it can be outdoors during these times, before the heat of the day starts or as the day cools with the setting sun.

Whether you have a small patio or wide open spaces. Do you feel good about your garden/patio area?

There are ways of instantly making your garden a more inviting space. The humble bench has a place in many yards and is one of my preferred fixtures for combining practicality with being a colorful ornamental garden feature. Accented with your favorite plantings or flowers can makes it both functional and inviting.

Entertaining is especially fun in the summer months. One of the nicest features of any home is having a comfortable patio. It is one of the most popular places people go when you are throwing a party or having an informal barbecue. It is a great spot to just sit , relax, and enjoy the sweet smell of aromas coming from the barbecue pit or grill.

Great food always makes outdoor dining a celebration. For some great new grilling recipes visit www.grillinfools.com It is really a “well done” website featuring foods I never thought of grilling. I find the step by step photos very helpful.


As part of the fun let your table setting reflect your style, whether it’s a special theme for the evening or just a casual get together.

Flowers and candles become a perfect combination creating the perfect ambience for your dining experience.

For a more party atmosphere that is also inexpensive, buy a bag of a hundred tea lights and place them in clear or colored plastic cups along walls, in flower beds and edge your patio or deck. The cups will make them glow and stop them blowing out in a breeze. Another idea, Mason jars with wire wrapped around the rim of the jar and shaped into a hook with a candle inside for illumination will look stunning hanging from tree branches framing your patio.

Of course, you need some flowers on your table to complete the festive occasion . And you can use any left over Mason jars as flower vases. They will look quaint on your table and showcase your unique style.
Finally, when company comes, remember all grand entrances are made through the front door. A beautifully decorated front door and porch are like a huge welcome sign.

At LaRosa’s Flowers we respect nature gifts and strive to enhance your appreciation for the abundance of flowers she provides by offering the freshest, highest quality flowers and creative floral designs.

Here‘s hoping you‘ll find yourself on the receiving end of many compliments this season as your enjoy your patio and garden..

As always, wishing you peace + and love.
