raduation season is quickly approaching, and a sharp
uptick in demand for flowers and décor is expected,
with many students returning to in-person graduation
ceremonies and parties for the first time since 1999.
For many florists, capturing extra customers during graduation
season is a welcome boost. Situated between the Mother's Day
rush and the onset of wedding season, May and June graduations
can provide a boost in revenue for florists who lean into
advertising their graduation-themed offerings, like those featured
on these pages. From preschool to grad school, graduates of every
age love flowers!
