Celebrating Mardi Gras Festivities

When people hear Mardi Gras, they usually think first of New Orleans - and for good reason. The city is the birthplace of the celebration here in America. Although Louisiana is the only state that has officially declared the day a holiday, there are parties and parades across the country, including here in the Boston and Cambridge area! If you are planning your own Mardi Gras party, or want to dress up your office for a little fun - get some beads, a colorful King Cake and a festive bouquet of gold, purple, and green flowers from Central Square Florist. It's time for Mardi Gras!  Read More about Celebrating Mardi Gras Festivities »

Creating Art Through Floral Design

Floral Design Day was instituted to pay homage Carl Rittner, a visionary in the floral industry and founder of the Rittner's School of Design here in Boston. The purpose of the day is to celebrate floral designing as an art form, as well as to recognize those whose talent, skill and creative eye make life a little more beautiful every day. The expert designers at Central Square Florist often work behind the scenes, so we thought we would use this opportunity to thank them for their gorgeous designs that enrich so many lives in Cambridge and beyond.  Read More about Creating Art Through Floral Design »
