Father’s Day is a day to celebrate and say thank you to the important male figures in our lives. Father’s Day was introduced by an American woman named Sonora Smart Dodd in 1910. Sonara heard a sermon about Mother’s Day while she was in her local church. She decided that there should be a day for both Mother’s and Father’s as they are equally as important. Sonara specifically wanted to show appreciation towards fathers as hers had raised her and her five siblings after her mother passed away. Father’s Day began in Australia in 1936. There are many ways to show appreciation to your dad this Father’s Day. These in...

Since it was discovered, people have been obsessed with chocolate. M&Ms were created in 1941 as a way for soldiers to enjoy chocolate without it melting and the inventor of the Chocolate Chip Cookie didn’t want any money for her revolutionary idea, instead she sold the idea to Nestle in return for one thing; you guessed it, a lifetime supply of chocolate! So here are a few of the best things about chocolate: Eating dark chocolate every day reduces the risk of heart disease by one-third Chocolate has an anti-bacterial effect on the mouth and protects against tooth decay Chocolate can be used as a medicine for the common cough and has bee...

A lot of work goes into choosing the perfect, meaningful gift for someone, but the accompanying card is often an afterthought, scrawled as you’re heading out the door. It can be a little overwhelming to stare at a blank card and try to think of something to write, but it doesn’t have to be difficult! Next time you receive a birthday invitation or the calendar tells you it’s a special occasion, ask yourself these questions to avoid the struggle. What is the occasion? The message in a card will, of course, depend greatly on what the occasion is. The most common occasions for gifts and cards are: ...

Celebrations of mothers and motherhood can be traced back to the ancient Greeks and Romans, who held festivals in honour of the mother goddesses Rhea and Cybele, but the clearest modern precedent for Mother’s Day is the early Christian festival known as “Mothering Sunday.” Once a major tradition in the United Kingdom and parts of Europe, this celebration fell on the fourth Sunday in Lent and was originally seen as a time when the faithful would return to their “mother church” – the main church in the vicinity of their home – for a special service. Over time the Mothering Sunday tradition shifted into a more secular holiday, and children would present their mothers with flowers and other t...

You all know that we love chocolate here at Edible Blooms but we love the people over at Chocolatier Australia more (and not just because they make chocolate)! Like us they believe that not all chocolates are created equal, and the ones created with extra love, care and a special artisan touch taste so much better. The Australian company started by brothers ( siblings just like us ) David, John and Mark found their business sweet spot by creating world class chocolates and pralines and grew their business to what it is today,...

Edible Blooms isn’t just a workplace – we’re a family. So when one of our gorgeous bouquet designers, Sally, recently got her heart broken, we listened while she cried, we gave her the keys to the chocolate cupboard and then we let her create a cathartic anti-Valentine’s Day range to vent her feelings. Funny thing is, the more women we tell, the more women who want to buy from our anti-Valentine’s Day range that doesn’t officially exist. Seems there’s quite a market for...
