 It's that time of year again, prom season, & Belvedere Flowers is ready to create your prom bouquets!

We have kids from over a dozen schools in Delaware County that come to our flower shop for prom flowers, including Haverford High, Marple, Springfield, Upper Darby, Bonner, Carroll, Lower Merion, and many more public & private schools nearby.

Feel free to browse our Prom Gallery for all kinds of cool ideas for prom bouquets, including hand tied "clutch" bouquets, rose presentation bouquets, boutonnieres and wrist corsages, which also can be dressed up with all kinds of bling bling, including rhinestones, pearl bracelets, decorative colored wire, earrings made out of orchids, and many other neat ideas.

You can also watch a short video on YouTube showing off more prom bouquets by Belvedere Flowers.

Prom season for us starts in late March and runs all the way through June. We recommend that you try to order at least a few days early, however, we are always ready for those last minute boys & girls, who forgot to order their bouquets & boutonnieres.

You can call us with your order at 610-449-3880 or shop online 24/7 and place your order for delivery or pick up at our shop in Havertown PA. We can also deliver it for you to all Philadelphia zip codes & over 125 surrounding suburbs! 

I love prom season and look forward to creating some unique flower bouquets for all my loyal local customers whose kids have been shopping with us over the years! 

Administrative Professionals (Secretary's) Day

When : Wednesday, April 22, 2009

Administrative Professional's Week is celebrated from April 21 - 26, 2009. You can send flowers or plants any day of the week , even though the official day is Wednesday.

National Professional Secretaries Week and National Secretary's Day was created  in 1952 through the work of Harry F. Klemfuss of Young and Rubicam. Klemfuss recognized the importance and value of the position to a company or business. His goal was to encourage more women to become secretaries. Using his skill and experience in public relations, Klemfuss, promoted the values and importance of the job of secretaries. In doing so, he also created the holiday in recognition of the importance of secretaries.

Today,  the title is changing and evolving. But, the recognition is equally important. There are two new terms in use today. They are "Administrative Professionals" and "Executive Admins". The two names sometimes mean different roles and responsibilities to different companies. Both are broader terms, that encompass more positions than the original "Secretary" role.

The name change recognizes and acknowledges that the role has changed significantly since 1952, and for the better at that. And in Harry Klemfuss' day, these postions were the realm of women. Today, you find some males in these positions.

The most common ways of recognizing your Administrative Professional(s) today are:

• Flowers
• Cards, often with shopping gift certificates
• Take them to lunch 
• Candies
• Assorted Gift Baskets

Administrative Professionals Day gifts are by far the most common way of giving recognition to these most imprtant people on your staff. What is the top gift?..... Giving flowers. Maybe, before you  forget, you should order some flowers now.

 Mothers Day is Sunday May 10, 2009. Belvedere Flowers wants to showcase our first unique design for Mothers Day this year!

    The Flower Purse is available to send to Our Delivery Areas only, which includes Philadelphia & over 125 surrounding suburbs.
