Bouquets For Your Besties

By wkf on January 15, 2018 in Galentine's Day. 0 Comments

Have you heard of Galentine's Day? If not, allow us at Walter Knoll Florist to introduce you to the concept. It first came about in the form of a 2010 episode of Parks and Recreation, when main character Leslie Knope rounded up all her ladies, took them out to lunch, and declared it "Galentines! . . . Only the best day of the year." The day falls on February 13 and is intended to celebrate the love women have for each other, whether that's you getting together with your mom, sister or best friend or planning a girl's night out. You can't go wrong if you keep the focus solely on the friendships and relationships you've built. Read More

Happy-Making Get Well Flowers

By wkf on December 27, 2017 in Get Well Flowers. 0 Comments

We've long appreciated the healing power of flowers, having used them medicinally for centuries. Their aesthetic beauty aside, when we give flowers to someone who is under the weather, it's like breathing fresh life into their space. The vibrancy of flowers is a gentle reminder that they will recover and at the very least that spring is on the horizon, even as we work our way through cold and flu season. At Walter Knoll Florist, we're committed to connecting people with flowers that will bring them happiness, and we're hoping to make people healthier, too. Read More

A Winter Wonderland Of Flowers

By wkf on December 22, 2017 in flowers, Winter. 0 Comments

What's better than a bowl of freshly-cut flowers sitting smack dab in the middle of your dining table? Just the same, only in winter. We here at Walter Knoll Florist are big believers in having flowers around the house year round, obviously. But we want to make a case for why it's so important to do so especially in the colder months, and precisely because of the colder months. The shorter, colder days means less time outside, enjoying all of the benefits of the green growing things you'll find there. Read More

Two of IFD's trends - "Folk Art Reinvented" and "Positively Posh" - are upbeat, cheerful approaches to working with flowers. They embody a youthful, whimsical spirit. Read More

Bountiful Baskets for Secret Santas

By wkf on November 30, 2017 in holiday fun, Holiday Gifts. 0 Comments

One of the best ways to inject some holiday spirit into the workplace or among a group of friends is to set up a Secret Santa. This group gift swap is popular in the West, where it goes by many names and several iterations, but always operates on the same principle: the gift giver's identity is kept secret from the recipient. At Walter Knoll Florist, we love any and all gift-giving scenarios, and Secret Santa is no exception. On the other hand, it's the kind of exchange that presents a particular challenge. Namely, the fact that you may not know the tastes and preferences of your recipient. Read More

Get in the Spirit of Giving

By wkf on November 24, 2017 in giving tuesday. 0 Comments

Have you heard about Giving Tuesday? This global initiative to promote charitable giving has gained a lot of traction in the last few years, partly because of a successful social media campaign and partly because giving just feels good. Now in its sixth year, this day of generosity falls on November 28, following Black Friday and Cyber Monday. At Walter Knoll Florist, we've got a unique opportunity for giving that we extend year round to our customers. And if you think about it, giving flowers and donating our time, energy and resources to our most deserving St. Louis institutions go hand in hand. Read More

Who doesn't love a poinsettia? At Walter Knoll Florist, we know what time it is when the poinsettias start rolling up - the most wonderful time of the year! Available in pink, white and even orange, it's that classic red version that we see so often, cheering up doorsteps and entryways across the U.S. And while the poinsettia is definitely the plant of Christmas, it's also the seasonal plant of choice for offices and businesses looking to holiday-up their spaces, too. And who can blame them? Read More

Rustic Thanksgiving Centerpieces

By wkf on November 9, 2017 in centerpieces, Thanksgiving. 0 Comments

At Walter Knoll Florist, we're thankful for so much. We feel gratitude for our family, our friends, and this wonderful community. We embrace the season with open arms and invite you to do the same. We'd like to fill them with flowers in the form of a centerpiece. We put a lot of time and attention into the dinner table we create for our Thanksgiving guests, don't we? It's not just about configuring it so everyone has a spot, but also a matter of place settings and linens, silverware and drinking glasses, and where to put all of the bowls and dishes with all of our goodies in them. Once we see how our table (or tables) is going to look, we can think about crowning it with a centerpiece. And this, friends, is our favorite part. Read More
