National Friendship Day was established by Congress in 1935, and it was determined that the new holiday would fall on the first Sunday in August. The day set aside to celebrate one of life’s most important relationships didn’t catch on in the U.S. as well as it did around the world. Still, millions of people do take this annual opportunity to give accolades to their best friends.

Did You Know? August 6 is also National Sisters Day, and since our best friends and our sisters can be the same person, that seems only appropriate! Did You Know? Yellow roses are the official flower of friendship and encouragement. Our Garden Parade Bouquet features beautiful yellow roses and alstroemeria, red asters and gerberas – and is a great design to send to your very best friend.

Experiencing childhood with strong sister bonds seems to encourage many positive results. Studies have shown that people who grew up with sisters are happier overall, as well as optimistic and generous. In a similar way, having close friends as a child and adolescent helps us to learn about societal constructs like sharing and respect, understand complex relationships, and identify priorities and goals. So whether your best friend is like a sister, or your sister is a lifelong best friend – August 6 is the perfect opportunity to celebrate your very unique relationship.
Whether celebrating a special bond, or sending a bouquet “just because”, the best choice in Glendora, Whittier, and Rowland Heights for beautiful florals is Ron & Alicia Robinson Florist. Our creative team has put together summer arrangements perfect for every occasion, and we look forward to helping you to choose the design that will convey your appreciation and love to your best friends.
