Dazzling Flowers For Better Health

When was the last time you sent get well flowers? Here at City Line Florist, we take great pride in our rich selection of flowers intended to make someone feel better, and with good reason. Studies reveal that when flowers and potted plants are placed in a hospital room, patients have lower blood pressure and use less pain medication than their counterparts. They also oxygenate the room and promote a positive outlook, proving that flowers and greens do way more than just look good. Read More about Dazzling Flowers For Better Health »

Bright And Folksy Blooms For 2018

Say goodbye to those muted, faded floral hues of the last couple of years - they're rapidly, well, fading in the face of bright, bold blooms for 2018 and beyond. How do we know? Well aside from a general trend to replace more muted tones with Pop Art-inspired ones, International Floral Distributors annual floral design forecast indicates the same. It's the last trend in the list identified, which is called Folk Art Reinvented, that gives us at City Line Florist something to get excited about.

Secret Santa Gifts For The Gourmand

This year, up your Secret Santa game. Wine, gag gifts, mugs with funny sayings on them - these are all fine gifts, but can also seem a little rote when they show up under the workplace tree at the holiday party. And while it may be hard to envision the perfect item for the gift recipient you drew this year, there is one crowd-pleasing gift that no one would pass up. Luckily, we at City Line Florist have it (and yes, you can keep one for yourself, we won't tell). Read More about Secret Santa Gifts For The Gourmand »

A Sweet Seasonal Gift for the Office

One of the best ways to truly get into the spirit of the holidays while you're at work is to add a dash of cheer to your own desk or work space. Whether that's a tinsel garland, the desktop Charlie Brown tree you bring out every year, a bountiful poinsettia - there are countless ways to stay festive while at work. But we at City Line Florist would like to single out one: the seasonal floral arrangement, sweet enough to conjure visions of sugar plums and fairies.

Perfect Piece for Your Holiday Host

How ready are you for Thanksgiving? If the answer is very, then we suspect you've got your plans in place, and that they might include dining at someone else's home. And you wouldn't be alone; last year, nearly 50 million people traveled 50 miles or more to break bread with their loved ones, meaning that many people didn't actually play host themselves. So you may be all set, but we here at City Line Florist are here to remind you of one of the most traditional gestures you can make when showing up on your holiday hosts' doorstep, and that is offering them a host or hostess gift.

Beautiful Blooms for Veterans Day

  Every November 11, City Line Florist's Trumbull family, like so many other communities across the country, spends a day honoring those who have served in the U.S. military. We have special dinners, attend parades, and participate in observances throughout our area. We may take the time to reach out to a veteran who lives across the country or who we haven't seen in a while in order to communicate our gratitude. Veterans Day can be celebrated in a variety of ways ranging from poignant ceremonies to lively gatherings with a festive air. What to do if you're not with your vet this November 11 but still want to do something personally meaningful for him or her? How can you acknowledge their incredible efforts in a way that conveys your respect and best wishes? You can send some beautiful blooms, that's what.

Divine Dahlias for Fall

Arrangements are filled with these lovely standbys and accented by curly willow, wheat stalks, and cattails. But there's another flower we at City Line Florist would like to humbly submit to the list: the dahlia. Dahlias are statement flowers, to be sure, but they also bring an intricate beauty to any design. They keep you looking at the piece, and given that they come in an incredible range of nuanced colors, they can also complement all of the usual suspects above. Why not decorate with some divine dahlias for Fall? Read More about Divine Dahlias for Fall »

Flowers to Show Kindness on Sweetest Day

Although Sweetest Day was established as a day to give candy to the down-and-out, it has evolved to be a day set aside to promote acts of kindness for those who may need cheering up.

City Line Florist helps you to take every opportunity to express love and friendship to those you care about - so who in your life would love some flowers on October 21?  Read More about Flowers to Show Kindness on Sweetest Day »

Floral Gifts for Housewarming Parties

Housewarming parties traditionally are held when someone moves into a new home. Gifts which may be useful or decorative are given to help them to fill their home with items they need. This tradition was born from an old custom which evolved in medieval times, when new homeowners were given the gift of firewood to literally keep their house warm over the winter. Today, housewarming parties are less common, but housewarming gifts are still popular. Flowers and plants are perfect for this occasion, as they add beauty and warmth to someone's new home. For those moving into the Trumbull area, City Line Florist is the place to visit for all things floral for the home. Read More about Floral Gifts for Housewarming Parties »
