On December 15, Wreaths Across America will hold its annual wreath-laying ceremony at Arlington National Cemetery in honor of those vets who lost their lives in service to country. This program counts many other locations within its fold, all of them participating in a mass ritual of remembering their loved ones at the holidays. Here at Kittelberger Florist & Gifts, we encourage you to pay similar tribute to your loved one, crafting your own meaningful ritual to do just that.

The holidays are an inherently creative time. We're in the kitchen making all manner of goodies, whipping up everything from major meals to Chex mix to fudge. We're dressing our tables, mantels and living spaces in garlands, wreaths and other holiday decor, hanging mistletoe and setting up the Christmas village in its usual spot. This season is a mix of our favorite customs and rituals as well as what we create anew each time. As creative types ourselves, Kittelberger Florist & Gifts loves the idea of families gathering together to home-make their holidays. Read More about Craft The Perfect Holiday »

In honor of Thanksgiving, Kittelberger Florist & Gifts is doing some of our own. Today we're taking a moment to honor our very own Michael Miller, a very special part of the Kittelberger team. Those of us who work with flowers and plants have a bit of a special touch when it comes to taking care of things, and Michael's no exception.

What does the modern Thanksgiving table look like? On this holiday above all others, we embrace tradition. We set a timeless scene with heirloom linens and heritage china. On the other hand, Thanksgiving has been getting a bit of a reboot in the last few years, with holiday hosts mixing in some modern touches. Many people celebrate Friendsgiving, for instance, or have a more casual potluck. Still others are rethinking classic dishes, or having everyone bring a meal item that reflects the traditions of their cultural or ethnic background. What stays the same? The fact that friends and family gather around the table in gratitude, and the flowers at its center. Read More about A Festive Centerpiece For Your Thanksgiving Table »

FallFlowersThanksgiving
One of the best parts of Fall entertaining is building a dining tablescape, if we do say so ourselves here at Kittelberger Florist & Gifts. There's nothing quite like the instant immersion into the new season you get when you create a new look for your dining room, changing out linens, candles and decor and reminiscing about seasons past. In the run up to Thanksgiving, you may be called upon to host other dinners, or simply want your table to reflect the spirit of the harvest. A centerpiece is the single most important item you can grace your table with. Everything else in your table decor will follow from the standard it sets. Read on to find our top tablescaping tips.

There's virtually nothing like Fall decor, with its layered scents, displays of abundance, and overall cozy feel that we channel via nubby blankets, crackling fires and cider simmering on the stove. This season is all about texture, whether expressed in the lush foliage of a front-door wreath or in a cluster of pumpkins and candles on the mantel. Same goes for our tabletop flowers, which make a bid to all of the senses. Fortunately, Kittelberger Florist & Gifts has a crop of autumnal floral designs to layer into your seasonal decor scheme.

DecoratingFallFlowers
The decorating possibilities in October are second to none. Not only is it time to signal, through decor items, that autumn is here, but there's Halloween to pay homage to as well. Making our homes and work places as beguiling as possible is about as fun as it gets--you can be whimsical and imaginative, taking a sinister approach or keeping to a more lighthearted one. If you're more inclined to a polished style, Kittelberger Florist & Gifts has a great design for an elegant and modern Halloween table. We're thinking the dining one--let the kitchen table have its pumpkins, skulls and ghosties. Read More about Halloween Flowers That Are Anything But Creepy »
Kittelberger Florist & Gifts is here with a PSA (thank us later). October 16 is National Bosses Day, so designated in the 1960s after a plucky employee wanted an official occasion to honor her boss, who also happened to be her dad. Cut to today, when we're called upon to acknowledge the efforts of our guides and mentors, those leaders who spend their workday keeping the team on task and together. Offering this pivotal person in our lives a little something special does a lot to create good work karma. Read More about Show Your Appreciation This Bosses Day »
