2018’s Pretty, Posh Flower Trend

By David Kraft on December 18, 2017 in Floral Design, Flowers. 0 Comments

International Floral Distributors has released its annual trend report, and the results are giving us at Nanz & Kraft Florists a lot to look forward to in 2108. And while it's hard to pick one style to focus on in this week's blog, we've chosen IFD's "Positively Posh," a modern romantic look that feels at home on tables, at events and in hands. Read More

Gourmet Gift Boxes

By David Kraft on December 8, 2017 in Christmas, gifts, Gourmet Baskets. 0 Comments

Good news: Our Holiday Gift Guide is here, and it's packed with truly sensational seasonal gifts, with something for everyone available. But among all the floral goodies, we at Nanz & Kraft Florists want to shine a little light on those gourmet goods that come in a box - basically, a box of goodness. Like gift baskets, boxes offer the advantage of giving many related items all at once and can suggest abundance, comfort, adventure, romance . . . the list goes on. A box, however, looks a little more modern than a basket, offering a streamlined, rustic look that keeps the focus solidly on what's inside. Read More

Scrumptious Secret Santa Gifts

By David Kraft on December 1, 2017 in Christmas, Gourmet Baskets. 0 Comments

Everyone loves to play Santa sometimes, and no more so than when that involves concealing your identity from a randomly-assigned gift recipient for weeks. It just doesn't get more fun than the group gift swap, with its cloak of anonymity and big reveal at the end. But it can be a challenge, too. After all, we often don't know the personal preferences and tastes of our assigned giftee, which is why so many people default to joke or gimmick gifts. And as fun as those are, we at Nanz & Kraft Florists think you can do better. Read More

The Joy of Charitable Giving

By David Kraft on November 26, 2017 in Helping Hands, Uncategorized. 0 Comments

There's a particular date for spending we think you should definitely circle on the calendar, and no, we're not talking about Black Friday or Cyber Monday. We mean November 28, Giving Tuesday. This global initiative to promote charitable giving is now in its sixth year, and like its precursors, it would have you opening your wallet. The only difference? You'll be doing it to support a cause close to your heart. At Nanz & Kraft Florists, we're in the business of giving, helping people to make that perfect flower gift again and again. But we have another way to help, too. Read More

Joyful Poinsettias for the Office

By David Kraft on November 17, 2017 in Christmas, Plants. 0 Comments

We here at Nanz & Kraft Florists love the holiday season for its rich palette of colors and textures, which our seasonal blooms capture perfectly. This is the time of year when we make a strong appeal to the senses, simmering apple cider on the stove, hanging jingle bells on our doors, wrapping up in cozy blankets and staying warm by the fire. One place that really deserves a good dose of holiday warmth is your office. And yet, our workplaces are often some of the toughest spaces to decorate. After all, it's not as if we can move the furniture around on a whim or choose the whole decorating scheme ourselves. There are customers, clients and co-workers to consider. Read More

Glorious Cornucopia Centerpieces and More

By David Kraft on November 6, 2017 in Fall, Flowers, Thanksgiving. 0 Comments

One of Thanksgiving's most enduring symbols is the cornucopia, an expression of the harvest that came from Greek mythology. While in that case it was a goat horn that Zeus accidentally broke off, today the cornucopia is typically represented as a basket full of the fruits of the season's harvest. What hasn't changed? The ancient cornucopia and the modern one both symbolize abundance, the results of our endeavors over the growing season, and the nourishment we take from our hearths and homes. Is it any surprise then that we've made cornucopias into Thanksgiving centerpieces? Not to us at Nanz & Kraft Florists. Read More

Thanks In A Basket

By David Kraft on October 30, 2017 in Gourmet Baskets. 0 Comments

If you're traveling over hill and dale this Thanksgiving to spend the holiday in someone else's home, you're in good company. Last year, 50 million people did the same, traveling at least 50 miles to gather round the table with the ones they love. We at Nanz & Kraft Florists also think you may have lucked out: hosting Thanksgiving is an enormous, dare we say, thankless task. There are so many steps involved in planning a formal, multi-course meal, and that's not even talking about the execution of it. And while you may have been asked to contribute an item to the holiday table, expressing your gratitude toward your host requires a little more. Read More

Dinner Decor for Veterans Day

By David Kraft on October 27, 2017 in Veterans Door. 0 Comments

Every Veterans Day, we gather to honor those heroes in our community who served in the U.S. military to protect and defend our country. In Louisville, we're fortunate to call many of those veterans friends, neighbors and family. And on or around November 11, we acknowledge their incredible efforts and bravery publicly with parades and observances. We may also be honoring our favorite patriots closer to home, around our own dinner table. Here at Nanz and Kraft Florists, we've got a variety of floral arrangements just perfect for your Veterans Day dining table. Read More

Perhaps you've already celebrated the season's biggest fruit at the Louisville Jack- O-Lantern Spectacular (if you haven't gone yet, head on over!). It's time now to turn your attention to the season's boldest bloom, the mum. Though it's November's official flower, mums start popping up on doorsteps and in entryways in October, a sunny symbol that Fall is here. At Nanz & Kraft Florists, we love Fall's marvelous mums, and have a bevy of arrangements to choose from so that you too can Fall up your home. Read More

Halloween Gifts & Spooky Decor

By David Kraft on October 5, 2017 in Halloween. 0 Comments

It's never too early in the season of giving to start doling out the gifts, or so we think here at Nanz & Kraft Florists. And since Halloween is such a kid-centered occasion, a time of magic and mischief, it's the perfect opportunity to send your favorite ghost or ghoulie a surprising treat that doesn't involve sugar. Halloween gifts can afford to be playful and often come topped off with some spooky decor. While you'd never add a fake spider to your roses in February, there's no reason not to add a bewitching element to your blooms in October. Read More
