From the stands to the party
Every spring, families fill the stands for Muskogee High School graduation, and nearby schools like Fort Gibson, Hilldale and Wagoner hold their own ceremonies. Northeastern State University has a campus in Muskogee, and Connors State College (opens in a new tab) in Warner graduates students from across the area.
A bouquet handed over after the ceremony is the classic gift. Many families choose the school colors. Ask the florist whether they can match colors closely, since some shades are hard to find in fresh flowers.
Graduation parties need flowers too. A few table arrangements or a centerpiece near the cake makes the room feel finished. Order early, since May is busy for florists with Mother's Day and proms in the same stretch.
