This summer, we’re all embracing our floral era. Think statement stems, dreamy color palettes, and plant moments that bring tropical vibes to any corner of your home. Whether you’re celebrating love, friendship, or just the fact that the sun doesn’t set at 5 PM, we’ve got all the inspo you need for the most beautiful season of the year. Our summer playlist is your floral passport to all things flower symbolism, holidays, plant care, and more. It’s time to bloom with us at Eastern Floral, the top florist in Grand Rapids.

Birth Flowers

From June’s romantic roses to August’s bold gladioli, our birth flower guide is here to help you craft a birthday bouquet that’s as personal (and stunning) as they are. Learn which birth flowers belong to which summer months and their matching birthstones and zodiac signs.

Card Messaging

From birthdays and Father’s Day to graduations and anniversaries, it’s not always easy to find the right words to pair with a thoughtful bouquet. Luckily, our card messaging guide makes it simple to get inspired and speak directly from the heart.


Memorial Day

On the final Monday of May, we remember, honor, and pay tribute to our fallen heroes. While we celebrate with those we hold dear, we also pause to pay homage to those who gave all. Learn how flowers, ever graceful, have become such a meaningful part of this tradition.

Graduations

For every turn of the tassel or toss of the cap, graduation day is filled with so much joy, excitement, pride, and celebration. For special moments like these, there are wonderful floral traditions to lean into with symbolic stems that are as brilliant as your graduate.

Guide to Father’s Day

Not all heroes wear capes! In fact, some wear dad jeans and smell like fresh-cut grass. This Father’s Day, we’re honoring all the father figures out there with blooms that say thank you in style. Explore the best botanical match for the man who means so much.

Gifts for Father’s Day

Finding a great gift for Dad is never easy. That’s why our Father’s Day gift guide is packed with all sorts of fresh ideas, from flowers and plants to experiences and delicious gift baskets and goodies to match his favorite hobbies and personality.

Niche Summer Holidays

Not all holidays come with a day off, but they do come with flowers! From Middle Child Day to Relaxation Day, summer is sprinkled with special dates worth celebrating with a fresh bouquet. Find out which ones you need to add to your summer calendar.

Flowers for Family

Family makes summer unforgettable, whether it’s Dad firing up the grill, cousins camping in the backyard, or a big family reunion with people you haven’t seen in ages. Explore the best blooms for each family member and show your love with flowers as warm as the memories.

Flowers for Self-Care

Soft mornings, golden evenings, and petals that brighten every moment — summer is made for unwinding. Flowers bring that cozy-meets-carefree magic into your space (and your soul). On Relaxation Day (August 15th), treat yourself to the gentle joy of fresh blooms and tap into the self-care power of summertime stems.

Vacation Plant Care

Vacation is calling, and your suitcase, travel plans, and hotel reservations aren’t the only things that need to be prepped. Your plant babies need some TLC, too! Keep those vibes high and your plants happy with easy care tips for when you’re road-tripping, flying, or just brunch-hopping with friends.
