Magical Winter Flowers

When you think of winter flowers, are tulips the first thing to spring to mind? We at Central Square Florist didn't think so, but maybe they should be. Hear us out. Tulips are actually appearing in winter arrangements these days with increasing regularity.

Sleek, elegant and, like roses, beautiful in a bunch, they can be just the breath of fresh air you need in your home during winter. Read More about Magical Winter Flowers »

Prim and Posh Flowers for 2018

                    It might be just the time to step away from the seasonal centerpieces and floral hostess gifts we're steeped in during the holidays and look ahead to 2018's florals. Luckily, International Floral Distributors' annual trend report lets us at Central Square Florist do just that, and we're bringing you along for the ride. Imagine floral designs that evoke the Mediterranean or capture the sunny spirit of an artist. Think of floral schemes that are geometric and convey a sense of organic minimalism. Among all the floral trends identified by IFD, we've selected just one to discuss this week. Mostly because it's a) beautiful and b) offers a lot to talk about.

A Secret Santa Gift They’ll All Want

            There are so many worthwhile traditions to participate in during the holiday season, but one of the most popular among groups is Secret Santa. This gift swap works best the more people you have, which is why it's the perfect workplace game. Not only does it ensure that everyone gets a present (and without breaking the bank, since most gift swaps use a price cap), but it brings together the whole team for a fun hour or two where presents and givers are revealed. Central Square Florist is no stranger to gift exchange - it's a huge part of the business we're in, after all. And we're here to help you offer your lucky recipient something fresh, seasonal and utterly unique. Read More about A Secret Santa Gift They’ll All Want »

We at Central Square Florist offer a unique opportunity to give back to our Boston community, and it's available all year long. Read More about Giving Back With Flowers on Giving Tuesday »
