Bagoy’s Florist & Home spends the 4th of July like many of you do—relaxing and enjoying the long summer day. We love to be outside camping or at the lake, firing up the grill later for some good old American BBQ. We too look forward to the fireworks show and the chance to commune with family and friends, whether we’re in a backyard, on a boat or gathering around the table. If you’ve been invited to spend Independence Day at someone else’s home this year, bring a proper hostess gift along with that six pack and extra hot dog buns.

One of the best ways to arrive on the 4th is with whatever provisions you’ve been tasked to bring as well as a handful of flowers for your host. We like sunflowers. As gorgeous as they are, they’re also no fuss. They can literally go anywhere: on the dining table, in the kitchen, in the picnic basket for transport or on the outdoor table. Our Summer Solstice arrangement is a tried-and-true grouping of these simple yet ecstatic blooms, which are sure to be appreciated by your 4th of July host.

Give yourself the chance to really enjoy Independence Day this year. Relax, play some ball and kick-back with friends and family to enjoy a spectacular light show after a full day in the sun or on the water. And make sure your host gets to do the same.
