Every year on or around November 11, we celebrate Veterans Day, a time to express our gratitude for our U.S. military veterans and to acknowledge their service to country. We do this through parades, parties, and observances. We commemorate the occasion in our homes, spending time with our favorite vets. And yet, many of us are far away from the veterans in our family or the ones we’ve come to know throughout the years. And in that case, we at Marco Island Florist suggest you send a bouquet of bright blooms, straight from the Sunshine State.

Whether that person you’re hoping to honor is around the block or across the country, it’s especially meaningful to send a personal gift in acknowledgment of their efforts. While it may be tempting to select a floral design in red, white and blue, an arrangement of cheerful, uplifting flowers reminds the recipient that this isn’t a somber occasion but an inspiring one. A bright bundle can be extremely poignant.

Our Striking Sunrise bouquet is a mix of sunflowers, yellow roses and red berries in a nod to the season. It’s a design that will induce a smile and that can find a home in a variety of different locations, whether on the back patio here in Marco or on the dining room table in chilly Maine.

We join you in honoring our country’s esteemed heroes this Veterans Day and hope you’ll let us here at Marco Island Florist create an uplifting gift for your favorite patriot.
