With weddings in full swing and Father’s Day just around the corner, it’s an ideal time to think about men and flowers.
First, in honor of Dad’s big day, Teleflora is teaming up with the Prostate Cancer Foundation (PCF), to help raise funds for research. A portion of the sales proceeds from Teleflora’s new baseball-themed bouquets, Big Hit (see below) and Play Ball (bottom image) will go to the organization. Teleflora is also running its Triple Play sweepstakes June 1-26. The grand-prize is an all-expense-paid, three-day baseball journey for two, including tickets to two major league games, plus the chance to watch pre-game batting practice (retail value of $3,000).
I’ll talking more about this partnership and the contest in the next few weeks. And I have some great guest bloggers lined up to talk about raising awareness of prostate cancer, which strikes one out of six American men.
In the meantime, if you’re involved in planning a wedding or special event where men will be wearing boutonnieres, this is a chance to have fun and get creative. But don’t feel you have to wait for a big event. A boutonniere is also a super way to honor a special guy – Dad on Father’s Day – or taking your boyfriend out for dinner on his birthday. It tells the world something special is happening!
