Last month, florists were busy creating stunning bouquets for Mother’s Day. Now that June has arrived, it’s time to honor fathers and father figures across the country with gifts, cards, and displays of appreciation. Even though flowers are commonly associated with Mother’s Day, they’re also closely linked to Father’s Day. To better understand the origins of this holiday and what flowers to choose for your dad, here are some useful facts to know. 

Celebrating Father’s Day

The Origins of Father’s Day

The very first Father’s Day was celebrated in the state of Washington in 1910. Popularity for this day and the desire to celebrate paternal figures continued to grow; in the year 1924, President Coolidge encouraged state governments to recognize and observe the holiday. It wasn’t until 1972 that Father’s Day was made a federal holiday. It’s now celebrated on the third Sunday of June each year. 

Flowers to Give on This Holiday

flowersFathers appreciate beautiful, heartfelt gifts, and flowers are an ideal way to show how much you care. Every bloom has its own unique meaning, so don’t hesitate to ask your florist for ideas so you know how to represent your love for dad with a bouquet. Roses are a popular choice, as they can convey respect, reverence, and love, which is why red and white roses are a traditional option for this holiday. Tropical flowers in big, bold, masculine colors are also appreciated. They may even make your father curious about the origins and backstory of these flowers. When in doubt, lean toward sturdy, eye-catching blooms like succulents, wildflowers, tulips, or daisies that look vibrant and last long; these flowers can be enjoyed for days, if not weeks.
