It's Not Too Early to Start Thinking About It....

Sure, it may still be 112 degrees outside, but whether you like it or not, the holidays are right around the corner. Don't let the stress of the season zap the magic out of the most wonderful time of the year - let Cactus Flower handle your decor for you!

From corporate offices to neighborhood parties, Cactus Flower has the talent and product to evoke the Christmas spirit in any setting. If you have your own decor and just don't feel like climbing a ladder, we can come install your own decor for you. If you'd rather we brought our own beautiful product, we can install something completely custom. And yes, when it's all over we'll come and take it down for you.

If you or your office is hosting a party, let Cactus Flower adorn your tables and buffet with seasonal flowers. Fresh flowers are sometimes unexpected at a holiday party, but they show that you didn't miss a single detail!

Rustic and Romantic

Not every couple wants an extravagant wedding oozing with pomp and circumstance. In fact, we are seeing more and more weddings in rustic, rural locations. Think wide open grassy spaces, lots of organic materials, and seasonal flowers.
These weddings are inspired by nature. The flowers are loose and unpretentious, as if they've just been picked from a garden or a field and placed in the nearest glass container - whether it be a glass, a jar, or an old tin can. 


Here's a fun way to adorn your aisle: hang mason jars with ribbon from your aisle chairs and insert a simple stem of hydrangea. It's simply romantic.

DIY Party Decorations: Upside-Down Wine Glasses

Decorating for a small get together or dinner party doesn't have to be time consuming or expensive. Stop by Cactus Flower and pick up fresh cut flowers. Place you favorite glassware items (wine glasses, goblets etc.) upside-down on a single bud after removing the stems. Then, top the glassware with pillar candles. These simple decorations will add color and elegance to any event!

The Brooch Bouquet

The brooch bouquet is an emerging trend that we absolutely love. Instead of using all brooches, try adding fresh flowers into the mix. Together, the bouquet will look absolutely stunning and your guests will be completely awe-struck. If you want to stick to an original fresh flower bouquet, find out if your family has any heirloom brooches and incorporate them into your bouquet for a little sparkle! We've provided step-by-step instructions on how to make your own brooch bouquet.
