Holiday Party Ideas from Schneider's Florist

Party season is in full swing in Springfield, Ohio. Just this past week I hosted a dinner party on Wednesday, a cookie swap on Saturday, and brunch Sunday morning. I was glad to get back to work so I could rest! So far we've looked at poinsettias and wreaths, luxurious flowers, and Christmas specials. This week I want to show you some festive winter arrangements that we can create for your celebration or to take to a party as a gift for the host.

Glowing Elegance in Springfield, Ohio

Glowing Elegance is one of my favorite centerpieces that we're offering this year. I love the idea of using pink roses with the gold tones and winter accents. This delightful arrangement is sure to captivate your party guests.

Holiday Magic in Springfield, Ohio

With beautiful red roses and brilliant white lilies delivered in a dramatic ruby vase, this dazzling holiday arrangement casts an enchanting spell. A step up from the traditional, its effect is nothing less than magical. Order Holiday Magic for your party today.

Christianna in Springfield, Ohio

This one is so cool. White Fuji Mums, accented with berries and loops of Bear Grass make a clean, contemporary combination. This design comes in a mirrored silver vase for added wow factor.  Send Christianna to the host with the most.

I'd love to hear how you make your holiday party special or unique. Tell me about it in the comments section. See you next week.

Poinsettias and Christmas Wreaths from Schneider's Florist

Our chalkboard wall has fresh artwork for the season inspired by our Christmas specials featuring Snoopy and the rest of the Peanuts characters.

Things are getting busy around the flower shop! I'm sure you're busy too. I wanted to take a few minutes so we can look at some more Christmas stuff together. So far we've looked at Christmas Specials and Luxurious Winter Flowers, but I don't want the holiday to go by without letting you know about some other options we have available for same day delivery in Springfield, Ohio.

Red Poinsettia

Our poinsettias are gigantic and gorgeous this year! We source them locally, so when you buy your poinsettias from us more of your money stays here in the community. I have smaller sizes and other colors available in limited quantities. Call me directly at 937-323-4634 to find out more.

Classic Holiday Wreath

Nothing says "I decorated for the holidays and now I'm done. Leave me alone so I can drink hot chocolate and watch Merry Christmas, Charlie Brown." like a beautiful fresh wreath on your front door. These mixed evergreen wreaths smell so great, and we can customize them to your specifications. Whatever your theme may be this year, Traditional, Rustic, Blue Christmas, Star Wars, anything your heart desires, our design experts can create the perfect wreath for you or your loved ones.

Luxurious Winter Flowers From Schneider's Florist

If you're like me, there are people in your life that seem to have everything. What do you give them for the holidays? It sounds counter intuitive, but flowers are a great way to send a really nice gift to someone you love without cluttering up their life with another thing that they have to keep forever. With that in mind, I'm sharing a few of our most interesting winter creations for your fancy friends that don't need anything. 

Frosted

White roses, orchids, willow branches, with evergreens and holiday accents. Frosted brings elegance and high design into the home.

Holiday Spirit

An arrangement for winter romance. Holiday Spirit has an unexpected color palate for the season. I like the combination of seeded eucalyptus and evergreen foliage.

Whimsical Wonderland

Mixed metallic colors have been a very popular look this year. Silver, gold, and copper wire with white roses and button mums for a modern twist on the traditional Christmas tree shape. Order Whimsical Wonderland for delivery in Springfield.

I'm excited to be posting on the first of the month this time because there's so much more to see before Christmas gets here. Follow us on Twitter for updates and fun photos I don't post anywhere else.

Christmas Specials from Schneider's Florist

It's the most wonderful time of the year! Christmastime is here! I've already got my decorations up at home. I'm trying to get as much holiday celebrating as possible squeezed into the next couple weeks before the flower shop takes over my life completely. I'm enjoying Christmas classics on my Pandora and drinking peppermint flavored coffees. To help you get in the spirit, we're going to look at holiday specials that are available to order right now for same day delivery in Springfield, Ohio.

The Silver and Joy Centerpiece

The Silver and Joy Centerpiece comes in a beautiful, food safe, hand glazed, ceramic bowl with roses, white mini carnations, winter greens and accents, and taper candles to decorate your holiday table. I really like the silver snowflake motif.

Thomas Kinkade's Country Christmas Homecoming

Here's one for grandma. The Thomas Kinkade Country Christmas Homecoming has a hand sculpted, keepsake cottage that lights up and includes roses, winter mums and fresh greens. This will look great on the mantle or coffee table. And don't worry, at Schneider's Florist, batteries ARE included.

The Sparkling Winter Wonderland Bouquet

This is one of my favorites. Every year we create an arrangement using these cool, food safe, ceramic bowls that look like over sized Christmas ornaments. Treat yourself or a friend to a Sparkling Winter Wonderland Bouquet.

Send A Hug Open Sleigh Ride

Sometimes I need a hug. Do you know somebody that could use a hug? You can send a hug to your loved ones with this adorable Open Sleigh Ride bouquet. Carnations and holiday accents fill this keepsake vase featuring adorable snowman friends. 

The Peanuts Christmas Mug

Merry Christmas, Charlie Brown! The Peanuts Christmas mug, celebrating the 50th anniversary of A Charlie Brown Christmas. Featuring the beloved characters created by Charles Schulz, this is a perfect gift to send to friends and coworkers at the office. 

Snoopy's Cookie Jar

Ok, we're getting into some serious Christmas fun with this one. Snoopy has decorated his dog house and he's ready for Santa to come. This awesome reusable keepsake cookie jar comes filled with beautiful flowers and is sure to delight kids of all ages. Order Snoopy's Cookie Jar online for all your friends this holiday season.

Thanksgiving Centerpieces from Schneider's Florist

Thank you, Springfield! A look at our new chalkboard wall. We change the artwork regularly to reflect the season. Another reason to visit our location just north of downtown on Limestone Street.

It's been a fun November here in Springfield, Ohio. I've talked about Fall Specials, Luxury Flowers, and ideas for Friendsgiving. Today I want to talk about Thanksgiving. 

Thanksgiving can be a lot of work. If you're the host, you're cooking, cleaning, and getting ready for a house full of people. On top of that, it seems like the whole world just wants to pile more work on your plate by showing you a million DIY decorating projects. 

You make a delicious homemade meal for an army of people, and now some 20 year old hipster on Pintrest is trying to make you feel bad because you don't want to spend a week making all your decorations by hand? Who has time for that? Wouldn't it be nice to take something OFF of your to-do list for a change?

Let us handle your Thanksgiving centerpiece. We will save you time and worry by creating a design that will wow your family and friends and deliver it to you in time for your celebration.

If you're a guest in someone's home, there's nothing more thoughtful than a one of our beautiful, custom designed arrangements. Easy to pick up if you're coming into town for the holiday. Easy to send to loved ones far away. Here are three fresh ideas for this year's Thanksgiving table. Click the photo captions to order now:

The Abundant Basket Centerpiece

The Harvest Centerpiece

So Thankful Centerpiece

I hope you have a great Thanksgiving, I know I will. Check back next week for our Winter Specials Preview! Until next time.

Ideas for Friendsgiving from Schnieder's Florist

Friendsgiving is a fun celebration. Sometimes it's an alternative to the family Thanksgiving, and sometimes it's in addition. I celebrate Friendsgiving at my house by having a small group over to sip fall cocktails and come up with clever ways to reinvent our collective leftovers. Casual elegance is the theme, and flowers are always on the table. Here are just a few arrangements that I think would be great for your Friendsgiving this year.

First up is Fencepost: "Bright yellow roses and sunflowers accented with bright green mums are sure to bring smiles and brighten spirits." This low, compact arrangement would be perfect for a table of four, or you could get several and place them at intervals on a long table for a nice effect. Fencepost is available for same day delivery.

Friendsgiving is usually a simpler, less formal event than family Thanksgiving. A little touch of luxury goes a long way. Woodsy Burlap is a fun arrangement that mixes modern fall colors with a rustic burlap container. Visit our location just north of downtown Springfield and pick one up for your Friendsgiving host or hostess.

Ready for something a little more impressive? I love The Autumn Breeze Bouquet. This is a premium arrangement with hydrangea, sunflowers, lilies. goldenrod, hypericum berries, and seeded eucalyptus. It would look great on your buffet or dining room table. This is a beautiful design to show your friends you are truly grateful for them.

Sometimes when I hear about a new holiday it seems cheesy or overly consumerist. I love Friendsgiving because it comes from a sincere desire to connect with the people that we choose to have in our lives.

Are you planning to celebrate Friendsgiving this year? Tell me about it in the comments or share your story with me on Facebook. I look forward to hearing from you.
