Life just seems to be so much more exciting during the holidays. With so many festivities packed into a few months, life can seem pretty dull when they are all over. Why not keep the celebrations going year-round? Don’t let the sun go down on your joy! Here are 10 holidays you probably never knew existed that are the perfect excuse to give (or receive) flowers.
June
National Best Friends Day—June 8
The perfect day to show your bestie some love! Yellow roses symbolize forgiveness, but they also symbolize friendship.
Summersgiving—June 26
What is this??? Thanksgiving. In. The. Summer. Pack-up your turkey picnic-style and add the perfect bouquet of sunflowers to finish off the perfect Summersgiving picnic table setting!
July
National Gorgeous Grandma Day—July 23
She’s beautiful. She’s graceful. She’s grandma, and she deserves all the love in the world. Show your grandma (or any grandma) some love with orchids, symbolizing love, respect, and honor to match her gorgeous heart.
August
National Girlfriend Day—August 1
Fellas, don’t be that guy that only buys your girlfriend flowers when Valentine’s Day rolls around. Show her how much she means to you with fresh flowers just because. Peonies are a great pick and symbolize beauty and adoration. And whatever you do, don’t forget to post that cute pic of her on Instagram for National Girlfriend Day (you’re welcome.)
National Sister Day—August 1
If you’re lucky enough to have a sister, this is the day to show her how much she means to you! Hydrangeas are a great pick for your sis, and they symbolize togetherness, family, and unity.

On this day in 1920, women were finally granted the right to vote. Celebrate all the women in your life today and every day with Gladioluses, symbolizing strength, power, and remembrance.
September
National Day of Encouragement—September 12
Flowers are a love language. Encourage someone with your words and actions by sending them some yellow blooms, sure to brighten their day!
National Mayflower Day—September 16
This might be the best day of the year. The rest of the country may celebrate the day the pilgrims landed on Plymouth Rock, BUT we’re declaring it national Mayflower(s) Day! Our favorite arrangement at the shop is the Warm Monet.
National Singles Day—September 25
ALL THE SINGLE LADIES, ALL THE SINGLE LADIES, buying yourself flowers is a boss move. Celebrate YOU by treating your single self to a bouquet of your favorite flowers. You deserve it.
October

You didn’t just marry them; you married their family too. Shower your beautiful mother-in-law with lilies, symbolic of motherly love, to show her how much she means to you.
