New York City celebrated the first Labor Day in the United States on a Tuesday, September 5, 1882. Labor Day is now observed across the country on the first Monday of each September to acknowledge the achievements, both social and economic, which workers have made in the United States. Today, we all recognize Labor Day as a day for fun, relaxation, and reflection. This year, mark the occasion by honoring the workers in your life, whether they be your parents, spouse, children, friends, or co-workers, with one of Central Square Florist’s unique floral arrangements.

Hang On to Summer – Though autumn does not officially begin for a few weeks, many see Labor Day as the end of summer. An arrangement of summer flowers will not only brighten your loved one’s last picnic, backyard barbecue, or pool party but will also help him or her enjoy the sunshine long after the party has ended.

Put Your Feet Up – Perfect for the person you know who works the hardest and could benefit from a day of true relaxation, the Zen Artistry arrangement will help him or she achieve the perfect atmosphere for a spa or meditation day. After the long weekend, this arrangement will fill his or her office with an air of tranquility.

Take a Picnic – A cute addition to a Labor Day picnic or cookout, a bouquet of flowers arranged in an attractive, rustic basket will set just the right tone as a centerpiece for a romantic date outside on a blanket or a party inside.

Enjoy Blue Skies – Your recipient will enjoy summer dreams with this delicate bouquet of blue hydrangea. Reminiscent of summer skies, a green ribbon accents these blue blooms, making this arrangement the perfect gift for any special someone.

Sweet and Sour – Instantly brighten the special worker in your life’s mood with a whimsical arrangement of yellow roses, lilies, and daisies trimmed with bright lemon slices. This happy bouquet is sure to energize and lift anyone’s spirits.

Whether you plan a weekend away, a relaxing day at home, or some other fun-filled adventure, remember that Labor Day is not just a day of fun, relaxation, and celebration, but that it is also your opportunity to thank the hardest workers in your life for everything they do. Be sure to include a personalized sentiment with each arrangement to thank your spouse, parents, children, or friends. Convey your admiration and let them know just how important their role in your community and life is.
