Flowers are the best gift you can give to any person. A florist does a wonderful job of selecting and arranging the most exquisite flowers and converting them into beautiful bouquets. To thank the florists and appreciate their work, the florist’s day is celebrated on July 24th every year. 

Observing the florist’s day is a tradition that is followed in Russia. There is no official status for this day. It is mainly celebrated to acknowledge the work of the florists. 

It is believed that the profession of the florists started in Ancient Egypt. The Egyptians used to decorate the temples, palaces and noble houses with beautiful flowers and herbs. The Greeks were engaged in weaving wreaths and making beautiful flower arrangements. Floral ornaments were also part of certain architectural styles. 

The concept of giving bouquets first started in France and gradually spread all over Europe. The bouquet was designed primarily for women focusing on their beauty and love. In modern times, floral bouquets are one of the best and most exquisite pieces of gifts you can give, irrespective of the occasion. A vase decorated with flowers also makes a beautiful décor piece for tables.
