Shopping For A Special Someone:

by Trish



When you have a special lady in your life one of the first things that you learn is the importance of flowers in the relationship. Many guys will send flowers to their wives or girlfriends only on special occasions, or when they want to apologize for something. This tactic is not a good one to use because that special someone believes they are only getting flowers out of some sense of obligation., meanwhile, flowers that come out of the blue will make that special someone feel more loved than ever. No matter what the reason for the purchase, there are some things that you need to keep in mind when you buy flowers for the woman in your life.


Location

You want to make sure that you are using a florist that is either located close to the person you are sending flowers to, or they have a delivery agreement with a local company. Flowers that have to travel in the back of a delivery van will got hot and wilt before they should, and that special someone in your life will get very little enjoyment form her flowers. The best thing that you can do is use a local vendor, preferably someone who can delivery flowers on the same day that you ordered them. This means the person getting the flowers will get the freshest flowers possible.

Display

Another thing that you need to keep in mind is how the flowers will be displayed. If you are sending a large bouquet to the home, then this is not a real problem, as your lady should have something to hold the flowers readily available. On the other hand, if you are delivering the flowers to her job, she may not have anything to hold the flowers. The longer they sit without water the shorter the lifespan of the flowers will be. You can avoid this problem by having the flowers delivered in a vase of some kind, that way, no matter where she is when she gets them, your lady will have something to hold her flowers. The flowers should also for a cohesive statement, where the flowers all match each other and the arrangement makes sense; you do not want to send flowers that look like they were just jammed together into a vase because they happened to be handy.

Quality

Finally, you want to make sure that your lady is getting flowers of high quality. You do not want to send her flowers that have bent stems or torn petals, because the message that you are sending her is that she is not worth all that much to you. The flowers should be strong, vibrant and smell fresh. Your special lady should feel how much you care about her the second that she sees the flowers, and this only happens when the arrangement makes an impression. Though price may be a consideration, sometimes it is better to splurge a little bit on the woman that you love, instead of counting pennies.

Flowers are one of the oldest ways that men have shown women that they are important, and they continue to be a mainstay of male-female relationships to this day. A flower arrangement, when done correctly, will make your lady feel like she is worth the world to you, and they are a terrific way to express affection.

I am Sammie Shields, woman and relationship counselor. I wrote this article because so many of the couples that I talk to have trouble communicating unless they are fighting. A man that surprises the woman that he loves with flowers will make a stronger statement about how he feels about her than he could in an awkward conversation. In Canada flowers are the way to a woman’s heart, and men need to know how to choose a good florist. For my clients I recommend http://www.allflowersandgifts.com  because of their ease to use website and huge selection of flowers for all occasions.

Party Tips To Impress Your Guests

by Trish

How to impress your party guests? It is a question that stumps even the best. Impressing party guests is not an easy job. From the dilemma of the type of drinks you are going to serve, to the kind of entertainment, decorations of your location to the type of food to serve. You may be feeling a little bit confident at first about it with the meal squared away, however, there is a lot missing in place. Some kind of flair; you definitely want your guests not only to be merely impressed by your flavor, but also aesthetically impressed. Whether it is a pool party, cocktail party or a normal multi course meal party, read on the following piece of guide and discover some tantalizing tips to enhance your party presentation.

The ideal party location
Depending on the type of party you want to host, you would definitely want your guests to be more comfortable throughout the party. For instance, if you are hosting a dinner party, these are generally intimate; your dining room would definitely be the most ideal place, if it is too small, think of your garden as an alternative. Of course, you will need the basics; lighting, tables and enough chairs. Ensure the hosting location in your house is sufficient and have a place reserved for everything to avoid awkwardness; assign a place for the shoes, guests’ jackets and so on.

Taste of your home
If you are planning an elegant party, you definitely won’t be serving take-away! Ideally, cook your best some food if you have enough time, if not, then buy pre made food from various restaurants. Food can also be a great way to explore some culture. If in case you are from a different country, keep a menu largely from your country. Keep in mind that some of your guests may be meat lovers others vegetarians, so make a variety of options. Some may be on a diet while others may be expecting a hearty-meal from the party.

Warm welcome
The food, décor and the location set-up are very important, but do not forget about being the best host! Greet your guests when they are walking in, all smiles and friendly and take their coat. Talk to them and guide them to the location; the best way to welcome your guests is simply to be there to welcome and guide them. You can have someone you really trust to be at the door if you are busy with other things but it would have been best if you were there yourself. Guests always love to feel special and treated as so, since they are your friends.

Décor: keep it simple and classy
There is absolutely no need to load your dining setting with various vases. It is called a center-piece for a reason and that is because just one is enough. Exactly what you are after is a focal-point for your dining table. You will be creating “clutter” in front of every plate by loading the table with lots of flowers. Settle for a single center-piece, you can have two or more candles however. Ensure that the table-cloth matches your napkins for an aesthetic look.

Entertainment
Some soft classical music, especially instrumental, would do for a quiet dinner party. Music forms an intrinsic part of any party, however, it can be a challenge to get it right. You wouldn’t want to be very loud neither very sonorously dull. Ensure that the music sets the mood of the party, for a younger party for instance, go with some contemporary fusion or some remixed soft music.

Cocktails before and after party
While you are welcoming the early comers and waiting for the rest of the guests, serve them some cocktails. Hors d’oeuvres can also be an impressive way to welcome your guests. After the main course meal, you can serve desert with some coffee. This should help counteract any effects of wine that was consumed. Use these tips and throw a memorable and fabulous party at your home.
