Grandparents' Day is much more than a date on the calendar: it's an opportunity to stop, look back, and thank those who, with patience, effort, and tenderness, have forged the path of our families.
In Mexico, it is celebrated every August 28th , a day in which we remember that grandparents are guardians of memory, transmitters of traditions and the warm hug that always awaits us at home .
In 2025, we want to inspire you to celebrate in a special way, with loving details that include the beauty of flowers, a universal language for expressing what words often fail to achieve.
At Verbena Flores, we believe that giving a floral arrangement on this day is not just an aesthetic gesture, but a symbol of gratitude and eternal love.
The meaning of Grandparents' Day
In different cultures, grandparents occupy a fundamental place. They represent wisdom, experience, and tradition, but also tenderness, care, and emotional support.
In Mexico, August 28th was established to honor their role within the family and recognize the importance of maintaining ties with them in a rapidly evolving world.
And while a gift always brings joy, the most important thing is to make them feel present and valued . Flowers are the perfect complement: fresh, vibrant, and full of symbolism, just as they are in our lives.
Original ideas to celebrate Grandparents' Day 2025
If you're looking to surprise your grandparents this year, here are several ways to celebrate that combine quality time with floral arrangements:
1. Family breakfast or lunch with a floral table
Host a get-together at home or at your favorite restaurant. Decorate the table with a centerpiece of daisies, pastel roses, and greenery . The atmosphere will become welcoming and lively.
2. Memory album with dried flowers
Create a scrapbook with family photos, anecdotes, and thoughtful quotes. Decorate it with dried flowers or pressed petals. This way, you'll have not only a visual keepsake, but also an artistic and natural touch.
3. Emotional phrases accompanied by fresh flowers
Dedicating sincere words can transform a moment into an everlasting memory. Here are some examples you can pair with a bouquet of flowers:
- “Thank you for teaching me that roots are as important as wings.”
- “Your stories bloom in my heart like a garden that never dies.”
- “Grandpa/Grandma: With you I learned that true love is unconditional.”
Imagine delivering these phrases alongside an arrangement of sunflowers and white lilies : the perfect combination of joy and respect.
4. A day outdoors surrounded by nature
Take them to a park, a botanical garden, or even a family picnic. Contact with nature has a positive effect on mood, and at the end, you can surprise them with a shade-loving indoor plant like a fern, perfect for their home.
5. Personalized gifts with floral essence
An embroidered flower cushion, a floral mug, or even a scented candle with pressed petals. Handmade flower-inspired gifts are a creative way to give them something unique.
