Over the past year, we’ve seen an explosion of women’s activism throughout the world. It’s fitting, then, that on March 8, 2018, the world pauses to celebrate International Women’s Day. Although the day has many meanings across the globe, it can have personal meanings to each of us. The Boyd’s team encourages you to use the day as an occasion on which to support women in your life for all the things they do to help you in your work, family or personal life.

We can’t ever predict what the weather will do, but we can brighten our indoor spaces. Floral Brightness is a color explosion with yellow roses, red carnations, purple statice, and daisy pompoms. The combination of bright colors that tease springtime will perk up any space and let the female recipient to whom you give them know that you think that they’re the best – the intended message of this arrangement. International Women’s Day isn’t a day about giving romantic gifts or celebrating a traditional holiday. It’s a day on which to show your appreciation for women who do things for you and to let them know that you support them as equals. It’s incredible how powerful a small gesture can be in showing your solidarity for women and letting them know that you believe in them.

This is the time to recognize people who work with and for you, or the people who live with you and do things for you regularly – without prompting. The world pauses to honor women on International Women’s Day, and Boyd’s Flowers is proud to be a part of such a powerful global celebration.
