The Great Entertainer

By Todd McBride on June 18, 2018 in Flowers, Summer Flowers. 0 Comments

Summertime is practically made for pretty parties, so unfurl the table linens and set out the good china. Pair your posh potlucks and farm-to-table dinners with more than just candles or moonlight; introduce fresh flowers to the table to create more ambiance and set the tone. Everyone loves getting an invite to a summertime fest. Everything seems to be conspiring in favor of gatherings that go late into the evening, taking advantage of the long days and great weather. Your flowers can do the same. Read More

Roses For All The Anniversaries

By Todd McBride on June 11, 2018 in Anniversaries, Flowers, Roses. 0 Comments

In the U.S., June is the most popular month for marriage, and we here at Billy Heroman's Flowers & Gifts understand why. Weather-wise, most of the country has its fair share of blue-skies-and-sunshine. Flowers are at their rosiest (forgive the pun), and it's an optimal time to travel. And where there are weddings, there are anniversaries. If June is all about the wedding flower bounty, it follows that it's awash in anniversary blooms, too. Read More

Sweet Flowers To Honor The Best Of Friendships

By Todd McBride on May 27, 2018 in Flower Gifts, Flowers, Summer Flowers. 0 Comments

On National Best Friend's Day, do something special for your bestie. Take her to lunch, meet her for drinks, sneak in a midday movie and definitely present her with flowers. Flowers have the ability to convey our feelings, sure, but you're probably already good at that when it comes to your best friend. Instead, offer her a batch of blooms that will both elaborate on what she already knows and give her something beautiful to look at. The Billy Heroman's Flowers & Gifts team has seen every flower exchange in the books, and the ones that are intended to honor a friendship are always so fun to put together. Because we know our besties so well, it's easy to create the perfect piece. Read More

Slide Right Into Summer With These Flowers

By Todd McBride on May 21, 2018 in Flowers, Hydrangea, Spring, Summer Flowers. 0 Comments

We've all heard the expression, "April showers bring May flowers," but what do May's flowers bring? Aside from our abject appreciation, they give way to June's flowers, or the blossoms of early summer, to wax poetic about it. Billy Heroman's Flowers & Gifts loves what every season brings flower-wise, but there's certainly something about summer. The flowers that thrive then are some of the most dazzling of the year, saturated with color, bursting with interest. And that's why we want to do a sneak peek at what's in store, and also to point out how many flowers spring and summer share in common, making the transition from May to June not only easy but beautiful.

All Abloom For Mother’s Day

By Todd McBride on May 7, 2018 in Flower Gifts, Flowers, Mother's Day. 0 Comments

Billy Heroman's Flowers & Gifts is honoring the mothers this May 13th, and we mean all of them. Americans will spend over $2 billion on flowers for their mamas this year, which means a) there's a lot of mothers to give flowers to and b) there's a staggering variety of them. Any good florist will have a range of designs on hand to appeal to such an important array of recipients. As you select the perfect piece for yours, think about her preferences and taste. Should you pick a classic presentation of roses? A more modern cube vase packed with tulips? An exotic orchid? A fragrant bouquet? Read More

Dance Flowers To Die For

By Todd McBride on April 30, 2018 in Flowers, Prom Flowers. 0 Comments

Summer is within reach, but before that, there's the end of the school year, with its award ceremonies, graduations, proms and parties. It's a celebratory time for our local seniors and their families, and Billy Heroman's Flowers & Gifts knows it's also a time when flowers are in high demand. Everything from rose bouquets to nosegays to graduation party centerpieces is called for, but for many, there's no more important end-of-school-year flowers than the ones worn to prom. Read More

Earth Day All Year Round In Our Greenhouses

By Todd McBride on April 16, 2018 in Earth Day, Flowers, Greenhouse, Hydrangea, Plants. 0 Comments

It's almost Earth Day, and in honor of it we here at Billy Heroman's Flowers & Gifts want to show you what's growing in our greenhouses. We love celebrating our planet on April 22---there's nothing better than seeing our Baton Rouge community come together for plantings, re-cycling events, environmental fairs and clean-ups. While you're participating in local initiatives that remind us to be good stewards of the Earth, don't forget to bring something green home, too. One of the best ways to get kids connected to our planet and interested in protecting it is to give them---and the whole house---something green to take care of. Read More

We here at Billy Heroman's Flowers & Gifts are rolling out a new initiative we're calling "Desktop Awareness," and the timing couldn't be better. Administrative Professionals Day is just around the corner (April 25), and the fact that we're bringing attention to the plight of desktops everywhere is something that's bound to make them happy. Take stock of the surfaces in your workplace---do they need a refresh for spring? Has the long winter left them cluttered, disorganized or totally bereft? If the answer is yes, let us show you the difference some flowers and plants can make. Read More

Baskets Galore For Easter

By Todd McBride on March 26, 2018 in Easter, Flowers, Holidays. 0 Comments

What would Easter be without its baskets? It's like suggesting we spend the Sunday without hunting for eggs or noshing on bunny-shaped chocolate. The basket is tradition, and it came to us from an even more ancient farming tradition, when seedlings were brought to church in baskets to be blessed. Eventually, what would become the Easter meal in modern times was also brought in a basket to be blessed. Baskets carry with them a sacred meaning, sure, but they're also important symbols of comfort and plenty, which is why we here at Billy Heroman's Flowers & Gifts love to design with them. Read More
