Occasions and Sympathy Flowers in Arcas

In Spain, Valentine's Day (San Valentín) has its place in the calendar on 14 February, with red roses and romantic bouquets associated with gifts between partners. Mother's Day (Día de la Madre) is marked on the first Sunday of May, with bouquets and flowering plants among the gifts associated with the occasion. All Saints' Day (Día de Todos los Santos) comes on 1 November, with chrysanthemums and cut flowers taken to cemeteries for remembrance. On 19 March, Father's Day (Día del Padre) is celebrated, with modest bouquets and flowering plants among the possible gifts for the occasion. For Spanish gift-giving, a saint’s day, or onomástica, is an occasion for giving flowers alongside a birthday; a personal message can explain the occasion and make the gift more specific to its recipient, especially when you are sending it from another country.

For a service at Iglesia de la Natividad de Nuestra Señora, ask which entrance is used for flowers and how early a tribute should be there. Flowers for a service at Ermita de Santo Domingo are usually taken in beforehand; the parish office can say how early the church is able to receive them. If the service takes place at Iglesia de Nuestra Señora de la Asunción, the tribute usually goes to the church rather than to the family’s home; confirm the time with whoever is arranging it. Looking at Spanish traditions, conventional tributes sent to a tanatorio include standing wreaths, called coronas, and easel sprays on stands; when choosing an arrangement, distinguish the form of tribute from the delivery venue and confirm both with the person coordinating the service. For the arrangement itself, chrysanthemums have a traditional association with remembrance and cemetery visits, particularly on 1 November; if the flowers are intended for a grave, confirm the cemetery and the specific location with the family before choosing the delivery address. For the choice of flowers, centros are wide, flat-based arrangements traditionally placed on or beside the coffin; this is a different presentation from a standing wreath, so make the intended use clear when discussing the tribute and the arrangements for receiving it. As part of Spanish custom, a wreath traditionally carries a printed ribbon, or banda, with the sender’s name or company; specify the wording you would like when discussing the tribute, and check names and spelling carefully when sending flowers on behalf of several people. As a guide to the choice of flowers, white and cream lilies, calla lilies and gladioli form a traditional palette for funeral tributes; use this as background when choosing an arrangement and check the flowers included in the selected product, rather than assuming that every variety is available.
