May 31st will be Memorial Day and while there will be parades, barbeques and other activates, the real reason for this day is honor those military persons that have fought to protect our freedoms. Officially named a federal holiday in 1971, Memorial Day was in earlier years referred to as Decoration Day and started after the Civil War.

At that time people were holding tributes to the thousands of fallen American Soldiers that died in the Civil War. The tradition was to decorate graves with beautiful flowers and recite prayers. Today, in addition to visiting memorials, people attend or participate in parades and have family gatherings.

There are many ways to reflect on our fallen heroes, including ceremonies, celebrations, and festive occasions that focus on patriotism and how much we value the freedom that we hold dear. They fought for us and now we must remember and honor them.

At all Memorial Day celebrations and remembrances, flowers are a way to reflect the beauty and love represented in remembering these heroes, many of which were our loved ones. The skilled floral designers at Thrifty Florist will help you select a caring, thoughtful and patriotic flower arrangement or green plant to honor a special military hero and members of his or her family.

Below are some of the options for caring and thoughtful flower and plant arrangements to honor someone.

The first store was started on the Westside of Detroit at the corner of Grand River and Telegraph Road. We started by bringing in flowers by the truckload and selling them at unbeatable prices. We eliminated the middleman and passed the savings on to our customers.

When we bypassed the middleman, we found that we were selling fresher flowers than other florists in town; and much to our surprise, our flowers were even fresher than the local wholesalers in town. Customers, to this day, come in and comment about the freshness.

Our stores are customer-focused and customer-friendly. We offer quality products at affordable prices situated in convenient locations at major intersections across the Metro area. Accessibility and convenience are important to Thrifty customers, that is why our stores are open before rush hour until bedtime; even on most major holidays, including Christmas.
