5 of the Prettiest Autumn Bouquets to Send In Canada

Well, it's that time of year again. Even though much of Canada's eastern half is currently experiencing pretty warm temperatures (24 degrees in Charlottetown today? Wowsers!), much of the country has already experienced some cooler-than-seasonal temperatures. And as the calendar flips over from September to October, it's inevitable -- Autumn is here.

We've seen great response around our Autumn-styled bouquets around this time of year, and this year is no different. Many of these bouquets feature colours that mimic the changing of the leaves and gorgeous flowers that can bring a charming, rustic look to any room in which they're placed. Plus, with Thanksgiving coming up in a couple of weeks, many of them would make for a perfect adornment or centrepiece for your dinner table.

We all know winter will be here before we know it. Instead of battening down the hatches and going in to hibernation mode, let's make the best of this season that, from coast-to-coast, is an emphatic reminder of how beautiful of a country Canada really is.

Here are 5 of our favourite bouquets, designed especially for this season.

BURST OF AUTUMN


Price: $29.95

This assortment shines for its simple palette, yet it is a beautifully complex arrangement. The Autumn Burst arrangement features  roses, daisies and orchids in all the colours of the season.

AUTUMN GERBERAS

Price: $39.95

Gerberas continue to be a trendy, popular choice with our customers, and part of their popularity can be chalked up to their versatility. In this arrangement, yellow, red and orange 'Gerbs' are contrasted by an assortment of rustic greenery. 

AUTUMN GLORY


Price: $44.95

This arrangement is just the perfect blend of traditional and contemporary styles. Classic Sunflowers and Chyrsanthemum is offset by the popping colours of Gerbera Daisies and Roses for an elegant, lovely bouquet.

AUTUMN RUSTIC

Price: $49.95

The Autumn Rustic bouquet might not be what's expected, but it's a fresh take on the rustic theme, with unexpected splashes of colour complimenting traditional reds, yellows and oranges.

ARTFUL AUTUMN

Price: $69.95

This bouquet is an eye-catching work of art. Beautiful Sunflowers serve as a pastoral, picturesque focal point, complimented by shades of burnt orange, red, and backed by assorted greenery and filler. Just perfect for a Thanksgiving dinner centrepiece, and in fact, dazzling for any occasion. 

Canadian Cancer Society and Bloomex Launch Partnership

Bloomex Inc, Canada’s fastest growing online florist is pleased to announce a new relationship with the Canadian Cancer Society in support of the fight against cancer.

“All of us have been touched by cancer in some way or another. The Bloomex management team felt the need to support cancer research by contributing proceeds from the sales of our flower arrangements. This way our customers can feel good knowing that with the purchase of certain arrangements, 10 percent of the proceeds will be donated to the Canadian Cancer Society to help make cancer history,” says Dimitri Lokhonia, President of Bloomex Inc.

According to the Canadian Cancer Society, cancer is the number one health concern of Canadians and two in five Canadians will develop some form of cancer in their lifetime. Through research, advocacy and information and support programs, the Canadian Cancer Society works towards achieving its mission of eradicating cancer and enhancing the quality of life for people living with the disease.

“We are excited to be part of this initiative, and look forward to an exciting relationship, which will ultimately help save lives,” says Michelle Robitaille, Public Relations Manager for Bloomex Inc. “Since the gift of flowers has special meaning to those sending and receiving them, we wanted our best selling arrangements to be even more meaningful, knowing that together we are battling a disease that affects so many.”

“Give Hope Collection” on Bloomex’s website will feature 12 of its best selling arrangements. For each of these arrangements sold, 10 percent of the proceeds will be donated to the Society in support of cancer research. Graphics of participating products will indicate that a portion of the proceeds will be contributed to fund cancer research. Every month, Bloomex will feature one of these arrangements and 15 percent of the proceeds of this product will be donated to the Canadian Cancer Society. This month’s featured arrangement is Morning Glory.

Each featured arrangement will include a special tag informing the recipient that the sender is a proud supporter of the Canadian Cancer Society. The cost of cancer is immeasurable – both in terms of the lives that are affected by the disease and the economic cost of cancer and we are proud that every dollar donated to the Canadian Cancer Society through this campaign will help to make a difference in the fight against cancer.
