Merry Christmas & Happy 2013!

We'll be closing early today and all day tomorrow to spend time with our families over the holidays. We're planning to be back on December 26th, but we're also keeping a close eye on that weather storm!

And so you can preplan if needed, we will also be closed New Years Eve as well as New Years Day. Then we're back to our regular hours for your floral fix! :)

I know I can safely say everyone at Graves wishes you & yours the best & brightest in 2013. And that we hope you know how much we appreciate all your business, love & friendship throughout each & every year.

We hope everyone has a beautiful (and safe!) holiday season!

Merry Christmas & Happy New Year!

For Mother's Day: A Very Special Dendrobium Orchid

This just in....very special for Mother's Day!

These dendrobium orchids are naturally a shade of fuschia, but they've been stem-dyed blue - causing them look almost neon in color!

If you're looking for something special for a modern mom or just something a little more unusual be sure to check these beauties out!

Mother's Day is THIS upcoming Sunday (May 13th) so don't forget!  :)

Momma's Day!

Don't slam the door! Call me when you get there! Be careful!

Do you remember these? :)

If you do, you KNOW your Mother does! Mother's Day is NEXT WEEK.

I know, it comes up way so fast. So don't forget! Order now! :)

Easter: This Sunday!

Oh, we've got some super cute arrangements ready for your favorite Easter bunny.

(See the boronia? Love, I tell you!)

And we have a ton of the freshest springtime flowers in right now just in time for the holiday. Iris? Daffodils? Tulips? Hydrangeas? Boronia? :)


All here and available to brighten up your Easter. 

And don't worry if you haven't ordered your Easter lilies yet - there's still some good looking ones here!

The Return of The Easter Lilies

The Easter lilies have returned in full force! These fragrant beauties are not only beautiful in your home for Easter, but they also do wonderful outside. They're lovely bulb plants that return year after year.  If you do decide to plant them outside, they're very hardy but tend to bloom - in the summer! They have to be taken special care of to force them into bloom by Easter, so don't be surprised if they bloom long afterwards outdoors! :)

Easter Sunday is this Sunday - April 8th! Don't be caught off guard! :)

Gobble gobble time!

I know we haven't blogged much lately, but that's because you guys ROCKED our open house! We've been busy! Congratulations to all our winners - especially Dorothy Tyler who won the grand prize Christmas tree! Woowoo!

And now we're down to the wire on Thanksgiving orders, but there's still plenty of time to get yours in! You can't forget your TABLE dressing! Gobble gobble! :)

 We'll be closed all day Thanksgiving but back open bright & early Friday morning. See you BLACK FRIDAY! :)

Happy Hallows Eve!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN all you ghosts & goblins!! Everyone at Graves Floral is wishing you the spooookiest of Halloweens and all the candy you can eat! (or at least all that mom will allow! :) ) 

Have a fantastic evening and stay safe!

The Pumpkins Have Returned!

Can you believe it? It's already time for our neighbor's annual Pumpkin Patch!

Yes, our next door neighbor the First Christian Church has had an annual Pumpkin Patch for the past sixteen years! The pumpkins always look so festive for the season, we can't help but wander up there and purchase some for ourselves!

It's true... I love the 'warty' ones! Although that orange & white one in front is my favorite.

Don't forget that we can make fresh arrangements out of fresh pumpkin too! Well, okay, let me rephrase that...we can use your pumpkin as a container for your fresh arrangements! This is particularly nice closer to (say it with me now) HALLOWEEN! Or for an extra special Thanksgiving centerpiece, that's certainly a way to go too!

Although fresh pumpkin sounds pretty good too....mmm, pumpkin pie.

And be sure to bring the kiddos! Sometimes they'll have toys out front, but they always have plenty of photo opportunities...including the ever present pumpkin bridge!

We think this fundraiser is super. If you want some good looking pumpkins (and a variety of them at that!) be sure to stop by and check them out!


Thanks for First Christian for letting us snag some pics!

Back open!

We're back open! Did everyone have a great holiday!

Now that the Labor Day holiday is over, we'll begin our preparations for (shh, do we dare say it?)...CHRISTMAS! We know, we know...it's only September! But we'll prepare now so you can have the best of the best later.

So keep an eye out! We'll be announcing our dates for our annual open house soon! :)

Last chance for Mom!

Flowers and plants are flying out the door! We'll be closed Sunday, May 9th, so today is really your last chance to order! We're only open part of Saturday!

It's Moms Week!

It's Mothers Day week! We've got beautiful spring fresh flowers and plants in just for the occasion, so be sure to get your orders in early!

Here's one of our super cute specials for the week: Teleflora's Peek a Bird!

New Years Eve!

We'll be closing early tomorrow (New Years Eve) and closed all of New Years Day for the holiday weekend. There's still time to get those last-minute centerpieces in! Give us a call.

Know that everyone at Graves wishes you a beautiful 2011! We can't wait to see what it brings for us and we love hearing your stories too. See you next year! :)

What a lineup!

We've got quite a lineup going on right now! We've got grave blankets going out, holiday wreaths being made up, poinsettias shipped in....whew! We'll be showing you pics of all these in the coming weeks, but they're ready to go now if you want to call or come by!

In the meantime, I wanted to take a minute and show off these gorgeous Limbo roses we got in this week. They're a beautiful yellow-green. Aren't they lovely? And so unique!

Happy Thanksgiving!

Is everyone ready for turkey day? We've been working hard and are famished! You can still order last minute centerpieces today, but we'll be closed tomorrow (Thursday) so be sure to call now! Whether you're looking for traditional candle centerpieces, cubes or something funky for your table, we're happy to do it for you.

We'll be back on Friday, so come visit us and tell us about all those great Black Friday deals!

Turkey Time!

Time to thaw out the bird! Don't forget to order your centerpieces! We'll be here Monday through Wednesday and closed on Thursday, so give us call!

Independence Day Parade - July 3rd, 2010

June 30th, 2010

Alright! It's almost the Fourth! Are you as excited as I am? I love all the fireworks, the people (the cookouts!) and all the colors. Did you know Shawnee's going to have its first Independence Day parade to celebrate? Yeah! On July 3rd, at 9:00 AM, the parade will start at the First Christian Church on Broadway and march itself right down to Woodland Park. All vehicles are welcome (skateboards, motorcycles, floats) and the kids will play an important part since it's entitled Children Honor America. Prizes will be involved!

We'll be decorating our store front for the festivities. It's sponsored by the American Legion, so be sure to come by! Have a wonderful holiday!
