Beautiful Floral Gifts for Mom on Mother’s Day

There really is no one word that can describe a Mom. In fact, we need quite a few words to effectively reflect how awesome she is - comforter, protector, cheerleader, supporter, listener, advisor, counselor - and even all of these do not do her justice. Our Moms are our best friends, our partners-in-crime. And although there are millions of mothers across the United States, there is no one mother more special than yours. City Line Florist is excited to help you celebrate this amazing woman on May 10th, Mother's Day. Mothers of All Kinds City Line Florist would like to recognize and applaud those who may not be a biological mom but who have stepped forward to fill this very important role. If you are a stepmom, a foster mom, a grandmother, or a family friend who has taken on the responsibility of motherhood - we honor you! You are amazing!

Time To Appreciate Nurses & Teachers

May offers us the chance to show gratitude to teachers and honor nurses. Why are these two groups of people so worthy of our thanks? Because both are dedicated to positively impacting the world - they invest their talents, spend their time and show genuine concern to everyone they come in contact with. This is why City Line Florist is privileged to assist as you celebrate these special people on their special days - May 9th is National Teachers Day, and May 6 is National Nurses Day. By the Numbers? There are approximately 3.1 million nurses in the United States - and incredibly, almost exactly the same number of teachers. But we think that none are quite so awesome as our local Trumbull and Fairfield area professionals! Read More about Time To Appreciate Nurses & Teachers »

Honoring Secretaries and Administrative Professionals

In the early 1950's, the United States economy was recovering from World War II, and companies were growing rapidly. There was a shortage of secretaries, and so a nationwide initiative was implemented to encourage women to join the workforce in that capacity. Part of the movement was to reward the workers once a year, and Secretaries Day was born. Today we call them Administrative Professionals, and although the career field is female-dominated - only about 5% are male - the opposite was true when the day was established. What hasn't changed is how indispensable they are - from managing appointments to answering the phones with finesse, from making sure the paperwork gets filed to calming down a feisty customer, our admin pros are valued members of our team. This month, we have the chance to tell them so. City Line Florist has a collection of floral designs, desktop plants, and succulents that will beautifully convey your gratitude.  Read More about Honoring Secretaries and Administrative Professionals »

Easter Flowers, Dish Gardens & Centerpieces

Everyone has their own way to celebrate Easter. For some, watching the kids hunting for colored eggs is the highlight of the day, while for others a family meal is the high point. Some get up early for a sunrise service, while others sleep in late and eat chocolate. No matter how you celebrate this special day, the chances are excellent that flowers are involved in some way. After all, Easter is all about new life, renewal, and rebirth - and what better ambassadors for that message, than beautiful spring flowers? City Line Florist has a full Easter collection that features the Easter flowers, seasonal dish gardens, gorgeous centerpieces and whimsical gifts that will make the day extra special!  Read More about Easter Flowers, Dish Gardens & Centerpieces »

Recognizing Those Who Rescue Puppies

Is there anything cuter than a puppy? These animals are adorable, playful, and loyal - and bring so much love to every family lucky enough to adopt them. Sadly, puppies born in the United States will encounter difficult circumstances throughout their lives. Because of serious overpopulation, only 10% of newborn puppies will experience a permanent loving home. National Puppy Day is a grassroots effort with several purposes - to tackle the issues of irresponsible breeding, to reduce overcrowding in shelters, and to encourage adoption from local rescue organizations. The people advocating on behalf of the puppies and older dogs in the shelter are passionate about their role. If you are an animal lover who wants to recognize the unsung heroes working to help vulnerable animals every day, we recommend a beautiful floral arrangement from City Line Florist to brighten their facility.

Send the Luck of the Irish on St. Patrick’s Day

In the 1700's and the 1800's, mass immigrations from Ireland resulted in New York and Boston becoming major population centers for the Irish citizenry. The entire northeastern corridor can still claim millions of residents of Irish descent - so St. Patrick's Day is a pretty big deal! From parades to dinners of corned beef and cabbage, this once-religious feast day has turned into a cultural phenomenon, one which every nationality celebrates. In fact, it is commonly noted that on St. Patrick's Day, everyone is Irish! At City Line Florist, we happen to agree. But we think that not only should you wear green, but your home should be adorned for the festivities as well!  Read More about Send the Luck of the Irish on St. Patrick’s Day »
