Steve’s Flowers and Gifts Inc.
Family Owned and Operated
Steve’s Flowers and Gifts Inc. was founded in 1973 by Steve and Linda Huth. As Steve was attending college, he worked for a local flower shop, delivering, doing odd jobs, and eventually designing. Steve had dreams of opening his own floral facility on the south side of Indianapolis, and when opportunity came, he went to work to make it happen. His philosophy from the start was making sure his customers were happily satisfied. The dedication and commitment towards his goal allowed Steve to move into a larger facility in 1976, and opened a second location in the fast growing town of Greenwood in 1982. In October of 1988, Steve designed and had built his own building which consists of 7,000 square feet.

28″ Fresh Wreath
Christmas Wreaths, Flowers and Decorations
There is interesting symbolism surrounding Christmas and Hanukkah decorations. For example a wreath represents eternity. This is because of its circular shape which signifies it has no beginning and no end. In addition, Christmas wreaths are traditionally made from evergreen leaves. The evergreen tree does not shed its leaves in the winter thus symbolizing eternal life.
The various colors of Christmas decorations also have different meanings. Historians think the tradition of displaying Christmas decorations dates back to the 15th century. Then in London it was a custom that homes and parish churches display ivy, holly and other various natural decorations. People felt that the heart-shaped leaves of ivy symbolized Jesus coming to earth and that holly provided protection against witches. Plus its thorns and red berries represented the Crown of Thorns worn by Jesus at his crucifixion.
The traditional selection of red, green and gold decorations is purposeful also. Gold is one of the first colors associated with Christmas. It symbolizes royalty as it was one of the three gifts of the Magi. Red symbolizes the blood of Jesus shed during crucifixion. And again green symbolizes eternal life as it comes from the evergreen tree.
In 1839, a Lutheran priest by the name of Johann Wichern came up with the idea to use a cart wheel to symbolize the approach of Christmas. Using the wheel he would use red and white candles to reflect the Advent season. In the Roman Catholic Church, the season of Advent is four Sundays in December each one taking on a different theme:
- On the First Sunday, the church looks forward to the Second Coming of Christ.
- On the Second Sunday, the church reviews the message that John the Baptist preached. His message was for Christians to “prepare the way of the Lord”.
- On the Third Sunday, which is referred to as Gaudete Sunday, the theme is again surrounding the joy Christians have by the coming of the Saviour.
- On the Fourth Sunday, the theme is about Mary and Joseph and how the events led up to the birth of Jesus.
Hanukkah
Hanukkah commences at sunset on December 10th this year and ends on December 18th. As the Hebrew calendar uses the lunar cycle, Jewish holidays often change annually. This religious Jewish holiday is an eight day festival that has its basis surrounding the commemoration of the re-dedication of the Temple in Jerusalem. This re-dedication was the result of a group of Jewish warriors that defeated the Greek armies that were occupying the Temple. This festival celebrates the triumph of light over darkness and of spirituality over materiality.
To begin the celebration, the first candle of the menorah is lit. Then each night of Hanukkah one additional candle is lit. During the lighting of the menorah, people sing traditional Hanukkah songs, eat special foods unique to Hanukkah and exchange gifts. It is festive time attended and hosted by many people.
Steve’s Flowers and Gifts has lovely traditional flowers to display during the festival of Hanukkah. Blue and white flowers are the most popular and are considered the traditional holiday colors.
