On Memorial Day, Toblers Flowers joins the rest of our Kansas City community in remembering the men and women who sacrificed their lives in service to country, fighting bravely on our behalf to protect and preserve our nation’s values. Our lives have been touched by them, and many in our community will be grieving anew this May 28th. While we acknowledge the poignancy of the occasion, we also know that this is a time to gather together with friends and family to celebrate the advent of summer, which feels just around the corner. We’re gifted three days in which to embrace the ones closest to us, and to remember the ones who once were. Our s should speak to that.

Given how many of us will be entertaining in our homes—and often outdoors, hosting barbecues and pool parties—we will have a reason to decorate. The s we put on our tables should hint at the dual nature of the weekend, offering a graceful feeling while also capturing a bit of that festive summer vibe. We see Sunny in Brookside as the perfect bridge between the two. Here vivid green leaves unfold to reveal hydrangea, roses, tulips and orchids in a clean, sunny scheme that still manages to be tasteful and understated. This is a piece that can work on either an outdoor table or an indoor one, capturing both the essence of early summer and the poignancy of the occasion.

Embrace your friends and family this Memorial Day as you come together to remember the ones who are no longer with you.
