			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I am in the process of planning an upcoming birthday celebration for my brother-in-law and was looking online for party supplies to create the perfect luau. I had already purchased fabulous tropical silk flowers including birds of paradise, orchids, and heliconia from Afloral.com and was excited to find more decor to<br />
add to it. I happened across PartyPro.com and was more than ecstatic with their selection of products not to mention the prices. There were so many wonderful items to choose from for decorating and party planning.</p>
<p><img class="size-full wp-image-501 alignleft" style="margin:1px;" title="luau" src="http://www.flowerstothepeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/luau.jpg" alt="luau" width="302" height="218" align="left" /></p>
<p>If you&#8217;re looking to have a party and are in need of decorations and supplies, then you need partypro.com. This is a fantastic website with thousands of products available for all of your party needs. The selection of 
<a title="Birthday Party Themes at PartyPro.com"  href="http://www.partypro.com/items.asp?cc=BDAYTHEM " onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/external/www.partypro.com/items.asp');" >discount party supplies</a> including birthday party themes at  PartyPro.com is endless and their prices are unbeatable. Many items are even available for purchase in bulk quantities.</p>
<p>PartyPro.com seems to have discounted party supplies for every occasion, from birthdays to graduations and everything in between. I found lots of great Hawaiian party decorations including leis, themed plates, even hula skirts. While browsing I discovered that this website offers many other categories providing a wide<br />
selection of items. Each theme has hundreds of products available from decor to apparel, even inflatable props and personalized banners. I had a hard time keeping focused on my original luau theme.</p>
<p>I ended up keeping the luau idea and purchased many great products. I cannot wait to add these great accessories to my tropical flowers from Afloral.com and throw my brother-in-law the perfect party.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Summertime is almost upon us, and it&#8217;s time to put away the soft, pale-colored flowers and bring on some bold! Here is a list of the most popular summer flower colors and two of my favorite summertime themes to help you make your home summer savvy.</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><img src="http://www.flowerstothepeople.com/wp-content/gallery/flower-photos/tropical-flower.jpg" alt="" /></span></p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Adding Summer Through Color<br />
</span>What&#8217;s in this summer are bright, bold, and vibrant colors. Think corals, turquoises, hot pinks, oranges, sunshine yellows, bright greens, and cherry reds. Check out the two themes below to incorporate these colors into your decor.</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Giving Your Home a Tropical Feel<br />
</span>Exotic and tropical flowers such as heliconia, bird of paradise, ginger, gloriosa, anthurium, and orchids give your home that warm, summery feel. Use intense shades of red, pink, orange, and yellow to complete the tropical feel. Tropical greenery is also a great way to add decor. Choose items like palm trees, jungle plants, and bamboo. If you want to add an even more tropical feel to your home, add accents such as jungle animal art prints/photos, table waterfalls, frozen drink knick knacks, even hawaiian inspired decor.</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;">The Ocean in Your Home</span><br />
Bringing the feel of the beach into your home is a great way to decorate for summertime. Use vibrant blues, greens, and aqua, with subtle hints of white. Some great flowers to use in these colors are bells of ireland, gerbera daisies, hydrangea, calla lilies, delphinium, and anemones. Use accent pieces in your home or arrangements such as shells, fish/dolphin decor, photos of the ocean, beach balls, and lighthouses to name a few.</p>
