Speak with a Maher’s Florist Wedding Planner Months in Advance of your Wedding Day

Maher's Florist offers the best wedding flowers in Pasadena, Maryland Obtaining Wedding Flowers has become an extreme challenge for many florists in the past three years. It is now very important that if you are wanting to have a wedding in the next 6-9 months, you start contacting a florist like Maher's Florist. We have a wonderful selection of flowers and a professional team of wedding planning experts. We would be honored to get started planning your wedding. The flower shortage facing all florists is a culmination of several factors. One thing is for sure and that many florists are feeling the pinch and doing their best to find ways to continue servicing their client base. Global Pandemic - We all understand the impact this horrific event had worldwide. This 2020 event snowballed into effecting many different industries including Wholesale Flower Growers. Many had to shut down farms due to quarantine requirements. This in turn resulted in laying off many workers and destroying tons of flowers. Some farms have not reopened and appear to have gone out of business. Breaking it down further to real numbers, the National Association of Wholesale Distributors reported that there were 5.64 million employed in the US floral industry at the end of December 2020. That equates to 247,717 jobs lost between 2019 and 2020. That is the lowest level of floral industry employment in the past seven years. Then furthering the problem was the reduced number of flowers that were grown. As people have gotten back to normal and begun planning events again, there are now fewer flowers and workers to load trucks. Sadly, many flowers are left to die in the heat because they cannot be loaded onto trucks. Environmental Changes - Climates in some regions where flowers are grown have changed. In South America, they are reporting colder nights and more rainfall which has negatively affected flower production. Then domestically, many farms are located in California which as we know has been suffering from severe drought conditions. Foreign Political Pressures - In many parts of the world there are political unrest. This is true in Ecuador which is a major supplier of wholesale flowers. There are many protests that have blocked major transportation routes. Numerous flower farms are unable or finding it difficult to transport their flowers to shippers. Maher's Florist Wedding Bouquets Increased Number of Weddings - There is a huge increase in the number of weddings. Many were postponed due to the Pandemic. The U.S. Wedding Report study reported that in 2021 there were an estimated 1.93 million weddings scheduled. That number for 2022 has climbed to 2.47 million. This increase in the demand for wedding flowers coupled with the supply issues is making the problem worse. Like the majority of US Florists, Maher's Florist has adjusted normal day to day procedures in order to best serve customers. Below are a few of the steps we have taken best serve our customers in these difficult flower supply conditions. [...]

The benefits of Office Plants and Flowers are numerous and commonly accepted now. Maher's Florist offers a wonderful selection of Fresh Plants and Flowers that are perfect for any office environment. Many people feel that having plants and flowers in the office is like having a bit of nature indoors. Most people enjoy nature, and this brings a feeling of peace and serenity to an otherwise hectic and demanding environment. Let's look at a list of the actual benefits many studies have shown come from having plants and flowers in the office. Better Creativity - Depending on the type of the business, certain offices have to have a constant sense of creativity. For example, a marketing company needs people to come up with sales ideas. Studies have shown that plants offer that feeling of being close to nature which in turn can spark more creative thinking. Managing Stress - Offices can be stressful with the phones, emails, deadlines and interactions people are tasked with. Introducing some lovely plants and flowers to the workplace can and will help employees contend with the pressure packed environment. Happier and less stressed-out employees can lead to more productivity, satisfied customers and less turnover. In addition, studies have indicated that the fresh scents of certain plants can actually increase the ability to focus. Increased Office Comfort - We spend many hours working in our offices. Basically, many waking hours. Plants can help the physical atmosphere by controlling such things as humidity. Plants have the ability to either add moisture or reduce moisture depending on the variety. Increased Happiness - Sometimes an emotion like happiness is underrated. Most everyone would prefer to feel happy while they are working hard. Often the presence of plants creates a sense of happiness which changes the mood of the office. In addition, happier employees generally do not leave to join another company. Turnover is expensive. Office Appearance - Companies, especially ones that have clients onsite for visits, want to have an attractive office space on display. Plants can make clients and employees feel more welcome when they enter the building. Improved Acoustics - Studies have shown that offices with plants and flowers are less noisy. Plants actually have shown to have the ability to absorb some sound. We all know how distracting excessive noise can be when you are trying to focus on an assignment for talk on the phone with a customer.   Emerald Garden Basket You don't have to follow the yellow brick road to find this emerald jewel.

A time for summer breaks from school, vacations with family and many outside activities.  In the Northern Hemisphere, summer is defined as the months of June, July and August. However, in the Southern Hemisphere summer occurs during the months of December, January and February. Technically speaking, summer solstice is the moment the Sun travels its greatest distance through the sky. This day of course has the most daylight of any other day in the year and therefore referred to by many as the longest day of the year. This actually marks the beginning of the astronomical summer, but we have already felt the warmer temperatures of summer for several weeks. July is typically the hottest day of the year because there is about a one-month lag between the solstice and the hottest temperatures.

This Father’s Day June 19th, Shop with Maher’s Florist for Father’s Day Floral Gifts

Maher's Florist Father's Day is on June 19th. Be ready with Father's Day Floral Gifts from Maher's Florist.  We offer many varieties of flowers and other floral gifts that are popular for Father's Day. Flowers are a wonderful and thoughtful gift for dad. Father's Day History In 1915, a member of the Lions Club introduced the concept of Father's Day to occur on the third Sunday in June. The Lions Club International elected to give him the official designation as the "Originator of Father's Day" and he continued the quest to promote Father's Day as an official holiday. After receiving numerous requests for a special day to honor fathers, in 1916, President Wilson proclaimed a day should be recognized as a federal holiday. This was during a speech he gave in Spokane at a Father's Day celebration. However, when the concept reached Congress, it was denied. The majority of the members in Congress were concerned that it would become too commercialized, and the true meaning would be all about companies profiting. President Coolidge suggested a recognition for Father's Day in 1924. Then in 1957, Senator Margaret Chase Smith spoke out that Congress had been ignoring fathers for over 40 years and had only been honoring mothers. Then in 1966 the first proclamation of Father's Day was issued by President Lyndon B. Johnson. It was declared that the day to honor all fathers would be the third Sunday in June. This became a permanent holiday in 1972 when President Richard Nixon signed it into law. Popular Father's Day Flowers, Plants and other Floral Gifts White Roses - Show dad that you honor him for his honor, reverence and spirituality by giving him White Roses. Yellow Roses - If you want dad to have joy and cheer, the Yellow Roses are perfect. This is because the yellow rose's bright color symbolizes the warmth of a sunny day and friendship. Orange Lilies - These nice flowers are used to symbolize Peace, Harmony, Wealth and Joy. Peperomia - These are sometimes called radiator plants and are very hardy. They do not grow taller than one foot and have sturdy waxy leaves. Spider Plant - Sprouting delicate white flowers this plant from Africa makes a great hanging plant. Moth Orchid - These Orchids have a long life and are native to Southeastern Asia. They display butterfly - shaped flowers. Its relative is the Moon Orchid which is also very hardy. Lucky Bamboo - Very easy to grow, these plants are said to bring prosperity to the home. Zebra Plant - For a small space in the home, The Zebra Plant is often chosen. It is from Brazil and has a spiky appearance with white bands on the leaves. Aloe Vera - Most people know this plant has healing properties. They make beautiful additions to any home. The plant requires very little water as they originate from the arid regions of the Arabian Peninsula. Jade Plant - Another low maintenance plant for those that are not [...]

Maher’s Florist Offers the Freshest and Most Spectacular Roses

Maher's Florist has been serving the Pasadena Maryland Floral Market for Over 44 Years June is designated as National Rose Month. Maher's Florist has been providing the best roses in Pasadena Maryland for over 44 years. We offer many other varieties of flowers as well. I was recently provided with a great article regarding roses that was written by the Chairman of the Society of American Florists. There is so much great information in the article, and it is so relevant for National Rose Month that I wanted to share it. Roses are the most popular flower in the world, with over a billion stems sold annually. Over 250 million are produced for Valentine’s Day alone. They are popular because of their beautiful colors, shape and petal structure, as well as their lovely fragrance. While many landscape roses have 5 petals, hybrid tea roses, those produced for commercial cutting, can have up to 40 petals. Best of all, there are always new varieties to discover with over 150 rose species and thousands of fabulous cultivars. June is National Rose Month, a perfect time for me to share with you some of my favorite varieties, not ranked, because they are simply too beautiful to pick a favorite. Alabaster is a breathtaking, off-white rose with many soft, delicate petals. Catalina warms my soul with creamy yellow petals that reveal sunshine as they open. Ashley is a luscious pink rose that is not too pale and not too bold. Juliet captivates me with a very interesting petal structure and perfect peach color. Miyabi Wabara is a pink rose with a peach heart and wonderfully ruffled petals. Free Spirit combines yellow, peach and pink in its countless petals. Just WOW! I am often asked how to care for cut roses and respond with a few tips: Keep the water clean. Bacteria is our primary enemy and you can limit bacterial growth by rinsing the vase daily and refilling with water. Cut stems with a knife or very sharp pruners. Dull scissors will pinch the Xylem and Phloem closed and restrict the uptake of water. Use the flower food provided by your florist. The old wives' tales about aspirin and pennies are lore and not based on any science. The food is most essential during the first two water changes, so do not worry if you run out. If a rose wilts prematurely, do not trash it. Simply give it a fresh cut and submerge the entire rose in warm water for an hour or so. It will rehydrate and look great for many additional days. Fun fact: Most of the world’s cut roses are grown in the mountains of Colombia and Ecuador. The altitude and proximity to the Equator means lots of year-round sunshine and the perfect combination of temperature and humidity. Also, please remember that an open rose is not necessarily an old rose. Advancements in growing technology mean growers can leave the stem attached to the plant longer for better health and [...]

Maher’s Florist offers Fresh and Patriotic Memorial Day Flowers

Maher's Florist provides local same day and express flower delivery service to the United States Naval Academy. Memorial Day 2022 is on Monday May 30th.  This very special day was officially designated as a federal holiday in 1971.  It was in earlier years, referred to as Decoration Day and started post the Civil War. At that time people were holding tributes to the thousands of fallen American Soldiers that died in the Civil War. The tradition was to decorate graves with Memorial Day Flowers while also reciting prayers. Today, in addition to visiting memorials,  people attend or participate in parades and have family gatherings. There are many ways to reflect on our fallen heroes, including ceremonies, celebrations, and festive occasions that focus on patriotism and how much we value the freedom that we hold dear. They fought for us and now we must remember and honor them.

The skilled floral designers at Maher's Florist will help you select a caring, thoughtful and patriot flower arrangement or green plant to honor a special military hero and members of his or her family. Below are some of the more popular flowers to commemorate Memorial Day: Red Poppy - This pretty flower has a history dating back to World War I. A Canadian soldier wrote a poem that referred to red poppies that grew between the graves of fallen military personnel. The flower symbolizes the blood of the soldiers who died but also symbolizes new life and hope. The name of the famous poem is "In Flanders Fields". Gladiolus - These flowers have a unique shape which resembles a sword. They represent strength of character. Red Roses - The most common and best known symbolism for the red rose is love, beauty and romance. However, they also can symbolize courage. Carnations - In some countries like the Netherlands, Carnations symbolize remembrance for veterans'. Daisies - Symbolizing new beginnings and fresh hopes, Daisy flowers close their petals at dawn and reopen them once again when the sun comes up. Blue Delphinium -A blue delphinium flower represents dignity, grace, youth, new life, and remembrance. Blue is one of the few shades of this beautiful flower. White Lilies -White lilies symbolize majesty and immortality. Very appropriate as we pay tribute on Memorial Day.

Maher’s Florist Carries a Great Selection of House Plants

They range from helping to purify the air to changing the mood of the home. Maher's Florist carries a nice selection of indoor plants and our Floral Designers would be delighted to assist you. So just what are some of the benefits of houseplants? Below is a short summary of a few. Home Air Purification - There are multiple studies but reference is based on a study in 2009 conducted by the University of Technology in Sydney Australia. This team found that it was highly probable houseplants absorbed toxins in the air. The science behind how the plants are able to do this is related to their biological processes. The CDC has reported that as many as 8 percent of all Americans suffer from allergies. Houseplants do not release much if any pollen and in fact act as natural filters to collect allergens and dust. In addition, plants produce oxygen through photosynthesis which is what we breath to survive. Plants act as sponges to gather all of the bad pollutants in the air. Most of us do not think about pollutants in our homes but they are present. Things like carpet, paint and furniture emit toxins. Commercial Building Air Purification - It stands to reason that not just a residential home can benefit from indoor plants. It has been shown that  hospitals and office buildings are great places for plants also. Researchers at Kansas State University reported studies that show patients recover quicker when their hospital rooms have plants in them. In addition, these patients tend to have lower heart rates, blood pressure, less fatigue and anxiety. Consequently the patients are released from the hospitals sooner. Further, researchers in other countries have found evidence in their studies that the overall health of individuals in office buildings and classrooms is also improved by the presence of plants.  Benefits identified include decreases in fatigue, colds, headaches, coughs, sore throats and flu like symptoms. Beautification of the Home or Building - In addition to the multitude of health benefits plants offer, they also create elegant and wonderful beauty to any home. There are numerous uses for indoor plants. Depending on the areas to be decorated, the use of different plants can create a more uniform and warm feel.
