Maybe you’ve never thought of St. Patrick’s Day as a good day to send or receive flowers, but in our opinion, there’s never a bad time to do so. Use this holiday as an excuse to brighten someone’s (including your own) day with a gorgeous bouquet from It’s Just For You. In fact, if you spend over $100 (not including tax or delivery) on March 16, 17 or 18, we’ll give you $17 off your order!
The origin of St. Patrick’s Day
Saint Patrick’s Day, or Lá Fhéile Pádraig as it’s known in Ireland, has been around since the 17th century. While it’s traditionally a holy day celebrating St. Patrick—and, by the way, it’s “Paddy,” not “Patty”—it has become a cultural celebration of Irish culture as well as green beer, shamrocks and “Kiss Me, I’m Irish” flair.
While some people can be frustrated by the negative stereotypes that St. Patrick’s Day perpetuates, the holiday is celebrated in more countries than any other—imagine that while you’re sipping green beer and enjoying your St. Patrick’s Day flower arrangement in 77084!
St. Patrick likely lived in the 5th century, in Britain. The idea that he drove snakes out of the land is likely a metaphor for religion, since he spent his life evangelizing in Ireland. He actually died on March 17, and the day is marked to honor his devotion to religion.
Today, St. Patrick’s Day is an Irish cultural holiday, celebrating the Irish diaspora around the land. If you’ve ever worn green on March 17, you’ve helped honor a saint. In fact, he is Ireland’s foremost saint, and the Catholic contingent of the country guards his reputation fiercely.
However, that shouldn’t stop you from drinking a green beer or buying a beautiful flower arrangement!
St. Patrick’s Day flower arrangement ideas
How does one celebrate St. Patrick’s Day with flowers and greenery, you might wonder? We have a few ideas:
Shamrocks: Of course shamrocks are a great and traditional way to tip one’s hat to the Irish, and in fact St. Patrick is reputed to have used it as a nod to the holy trinity in Catholicism.
Green, white and orange flowers: The Irish flag is green, white and orange, so why not choose an arrangement in those colors? Lilies and greenery can be a fabulous combination.
Go green: If you prefer a monochromatic arrangement, we love the look of green hydrangeas set against darker foliage.
Green and white: Finally, don’t forget the statement that simple green and white arrangements can make. They’re elegant, beautiful and will dress up your home, office or other space.

Giving fresh flowers is a time-honored tradition that dates back centuries, including for home décor, to celebrate milestones and simply because they’re the perfect gift for everyone, no matter their age, gender, profession or lifestyle. Giving Christmas arrangements in 77084 is an excellent and time-saving way to get something incredibly special for everyone on your list—especially because the team at Its Just For You can make custom arrangements to suit every personality, home or office.
So, why do we love to give fresh flowers as gifts? Here are some good reasons:
It’s appropriate for any occasion: Christmas, birthdays, anniversaries, weddings, funerals—everyone loves flowers, and it’s a way to show you care, even if you don’t know the recipient as well as you might like. Your friends, family and coworkers will be touched by your thoughtful nature. For the Christmas season, you might enjoy our poinsettia topiaries—they’re three feet tall and only $69 apiece.
They’re a time-saver: Oh, that party was today? Uh-oh! When you’re pressed for time and don’t want to brave the crowds at the local brick-and-mortar stores, fresh flowers show that you put thought and effort into making someone happy, without waiting in a line of 50 increasingly frustrated customers. All you have to do is place your order and swing by to pick up a beautiful custom arrangement.
Great for Marie Kondo aficionados: Everyone has heard about the Marie Kondo decluttering craze, in which objects and possessions that don’t “spark joy” are donated or disposed of. Flowers are perfect for minimalists, because their finite lifespan means there are no objects to store permanently. Plus, they double as holiday décor, which is even better. Try a custom floral centerpiece arrangement, starting from just $59, or fresh wreaths—they come in 24” or 30” sizes, and are priced at $59 or $99.
They have their own secret language: The Victorian era made the secret language of flowers more popular than ever. Giving certain types of flowers was a way to subtly say “I love you,” “We’re just friends” or even “I’d like to marry you” without actually having to use your words. Based on the flower choice, you could convey or interpret a very personal message. That’s a lot more fun than trying to decipher your latest date’s cryptic text messages.
No matter the reason or occasion, Its Just For You can help you show you care with beautiful fresh flowers.

Christmas is right around the corner, and it’s time to start getting your home ready for the holiday. Whether you’re having just a couple family members over for dinner or you’re planning a huge Christmas party in your home, you want to make the best impression possible. To make your home look festive this Christmas, consider setting out a few Christmas arrangements in 77084. The perfect Christmas arrangement can set the stage for a fantastic holiday celebration.
Christmas arrangements in 77084 come in many different styles, designs and colors, and may feature a variety of different plants, flowers and ornaments. Read on for a few of the components that are most popular for Christmas arrangements:
Poinsettias: The poinsettia is undoubtedly the most popular Christmas plant. Its bright red leaves make this beautiful plant perfect for a floral centerpiece or decorative Christmas arrangement. You can choose arrangements with live poinsettias or opt for artificial poinsettias to keep your arrangement looking vibrant for weeks.
Evergreens: Evergreen branches create a beautiful contrast with red poinsettias and other flowers. Evergreens can be incorporated into Christmas centerpieces or used to create holiday wreaths for your front door. Boughs of pine and sprigs of holly not only look beautiful, but they also have an earthy fragrance to make your home even more festive.
Berries: Winter berries come in bright red hues that contrast beautifully with evergreen boughs in floral arrangements and wreaths. Like many other elements of Christmas arrangements, artificial berries are an option. While many people opt for fresh winter berries for Christmas arrangements, artificial berries are a better choice if you have pets or small children and you are concerned about accidental consumption.
Pinecones: Pinecones are perfect for winter arrangements. Their distinctive shape adds an element of texture to a Christmas arrangement, and they come in many different shapes that can be mixed and matched, depending on the style of the arrangement. Pinecones also come in decorative painted or scented options.
Candles: A Christmas centerpiece wouldn’t be complete without a festive candle at its center. White and red candles are popular options for Christmas centerpieces. It’s the perfect way to create a festive atmosphere while you enjoy Christmas dinner or simply spend some quality time visiting with your holiday guests.
Ornaments: Shiny ornaments can add a touch of sparkle to a Christmas arrangement. Ornaments and accessories come in many different colors and designs. For an understated look, add one or two small ornaments or, for something bolder, choose a variety of festive ornaments to display with your Christmas arrangement.

The holiday season is the perfect opportunity to get together with family members and friends and enjoy quality time. On Thanksgiving, chances are that you’ll be hard at work cooking delicious dishes and preparing your home for guests. You want your Thanksgiving table to look as festive and appealing as possible, but you might not be sure how to set or accent your table, or how to choose the ideal Thanksgiving arrangements in 77084. Below are several simple tips to follow to get your table looking amazing this Thanksgiving.
How to set a Thanksgiving table
During holiday meals, you want your table to reflect the spirit of the season. Follow these tips to make your Thanksgiving table the highlight of your holiday:
Get table runners and napkins: A table runner can transform a table from plain and simple to festive and stylish. Thanksgiving-themed table runners, featuring fall leaves, turkeys and gourds, can set the mood for your table. For a more formal Thanksgiving dinner, pick out cloth napkins for your guests. Make sure to purchase a few extra napkins just in case you run out during the meal.
Choose place mats: Place mats protect your table from hot plates while adding style and sophistication to your dining room. Orange, yellow, red and brown are all great colors for Thanksgiving place mats. Regardless of the color you choose, make sure it matches your table runner, napkins and place settings.
Use nice serving dishes: Disposable dishes can quickly draw attention away from the beautiful place settings you have on the table. Use ceramic or glass dishes to keep your table looking elegant and sophisticated. Don’t worry about mismatched serving dishes— a mixture of patterns and styles can add visual interest to your table.
Place condiments on the table: Condiments like jam, butter, salt and pepper should be easily accessible to your guests. Place these things around your table so guests don’t have to reach over each other for every item. Find small serving dishes to go with your table settings and lay out the necessary utensils next to the condiments.
Add a centerpiece: A Thanksgiving centerpiece is the perfect addition to your festive table. Thanksgiving arrangements in 77084 with fresh flowers, beautiful greenery and seasonal accents are the perfect conversation pieces for your guests and can really make a difference in the appearance of your table. Request a custom centerpiece with your favorite flowers and plants, or choose from prearranged offerings from a local florist. Schedule delivery of your Thanksgiving arrangements in 77084 so that your centerpieces arrive right on time for your holiday dinner plans.
