Recycle The Vase, Pugh’s Flowers Memphis
Pugh's Flowers would like to announce the Recycle the Vase Program going on now through the end of December, 2013. Pugh's will accept all usable vases and in exchange, Pugh's will pay $1 per vase, up to $20. Money will be loaded onto a Pugh's Flowers gift card with no expiration date. Gift cards can be used on in-store merchandise or local orders. Vases are accepted at all three Pugh's Flowers locations. (2435 Whitten Rd., 5645 Poplar Ave., and 1622 Union Ave.) Recycling reduces trash in landfill sites, which cuts down on the cost of waste disposal and the clearing of more land for new landfills when the current landfills become too full to store any more waste. Recycling is an easy and less expensive alternative to clearing more land for new landfills. This program is encouraged to offer area residents a reward for their recycling efforts. Vases will either be reused to spread more cheer, or taken to a local glass recycling plant if reusing them is not an option.
Holiday tables, Pugh’s Flowers Memphis
The trick to making Thanksgiving and Christmas home décor look thoughtful, cohesive and well planned is color. Period. No matter what you add to the room, there must be a main color to unify it to the room. To the eye, upon seeing the festive décor, the unified color will assimilate it automatically with the existing décor. It’s easy to choose flowers and containers in colors matching your home décor. For example, if you have a burgundy and beige dining room and you want to add a spice of Thanksgiving to your table in a tasteful way, you must add burgundy. Simply ask Pugh's Flowers to incorporate a touch of burgundy in the centerpiece in the container, flowers or foliage. For Christmas, the same rule applies. Instead of red and green in your burgundy room, choose burgundy and sage green, or a palette of reds, burgundies and purples. Another quick and easy trick is putting flowers into holiday décor items. A floral arrangement in a simple glass container looks even more festive when placed into another vessel that screams Thanksgiving, such as a cleaned out pumpkin, gourd or cornucopia. Other Thanksgiving container ideas: Wrap corn stalks around tall floral vases with raffia for a fall harvest look or place flowers in flour sifters or old mixing bowls to create a baking theme. For Christmas, I once asked Pugh's Flowers to create two tall holiday floral arrangements in glass vases. When I brought the floral arrangements home, I placed the flowers with their glass vases inside two big, black, shiny boots — just like Santa’s. Here’s an idea that’s outside the box: Cover the container with flowers. Take what seems ordinary and cover it with flowers in the appropriate colors — voila, instant holiday décor.

National Grandparent’s Day is September 8, 2013 Pugh’s Flowers
What is Grandparent's Day? Here's the story. Back in 1970, Marian McQuade, a West Virginia housewife, came up with the idea of a day set aside to encourage families to visit their elderly relatives. With a firm resolve to make it happen, she began lobbying policymakers. McQuade got through to her Senators, Jennings Randolph and Robert Byrd, who introduced a resolution to make Grandparents Day a national holiday. It took a while to reach the White House, but finally, in 1978, the resolution declaring National Grandparents Day as the first Sunday after Labor Day, was signed into law by President Jimmy Carter. What should I get my grandparents?
