Holiday Floral Ceremonies

The holidays are meant to be a time of merriment, joy and festivity, but for families of fallen veterans, this can be a very difficult time. The vacancy left from a loved one's absence is incredibly loud and obvious, especially at the holidays. One way to create a new memory in their honor is by participating in a wreath-laying ceremony like those at Arlington National Cemetery. The Wreaths Across America program promotes placing wreaths on the grave sites of fallen veterans and service men and women during the holiday season. The floral designers at Port Charlotte Florist have a gorgeous collection of beautiful wreaths you can choose for your very own wreath-laying ceremony. Read More about Holiday Floral Ceremonies »
