Each year on March 8, International Women’s Day provides a platform to advocate for women’s causes and bring attention to important issues. It’s a time to acknowledge the women who’ve helped you realize your dreams and acknowledge the community that has contributed to your growth. The recognized colors for this significant occasion are purple (for justice, dignity, and loyalty to the cause), green (for hope), and white (for purity). Express your appreciation by sending fresh flowers in these impactful colors to the allies and women who have been there for you through it all. At Nanz & Kraft Florist in Louisville, Kentucky, we’re ready to assist you in observing IWD with genuine sincerity, gratitude, and a bouquet of beautiful blooms.
