Celebrate the Year’s Birthdays with Birthstone Bouquets

We can trace the traditions of birthstones to Biblical times, and to ancient cultures that believed that the vibrant and colorful stones had mystical powers. Each stone was thought to endow the person wearing it with power, strength, and wisdom - a sentiment only magnified by the rarity and cost of the precious stones. In modern times, the gemstones are used more often as sentimental gifts and tokens in jewelry. And in the floral world, birthstones are beautiful inspiration for birthday bouquets and arrangements. If you are looking for unique flowers to give to their loved ones on their special day, call the designers at Schaaf Floral.  Read More about Celebrate the Year’s Birthdays with Birthstone Bouquets »
