Located on Hope Street in Providence since 1989, Blooming Blossoms has been part of Rhode Island's most meaningful moments for over 35 years. This season, we're proud to offer hand-wrapped graduation bouquets designed specifically for local colleges and universities - complete with your graduate's school colors. Read on to find the perfect bouquet for your grad, and don't forget to order early!
Johnson & Wales University Graduation Bouquet
Graduation Dates: May 2–3, 2026
JWU Wildcats, this one's for you. Our Johnson & Wales graduation bouquet is a vibrant, energetic arrangement that captures the spirit of a school known for creativity, culinary arts, and innovation. We've designed it with your school colors in mind - blue thistle, blue delphinium, and warm yellow spray roses, all wrapped together with lush accent greenery and finished with a yellow gold ribbon.
Hand-tied wrapped bouquets photograph beautifully at commencement and hold up for hours, so your grad can carry them proudly through the ceremony, the family photos, and the celebration dinner that follows.
Johnson & Wales commencement is one of the first graduation weekends of the season, so we recommend placing your order as early as possible. Same-day delivery is available on orders placed before 10:30 AM EST, with delivery across Providence and surrounding areas.
Rhode Island College Graduation Bouquet
Graduation Dates: May 15–17, 2026
RIC Anchormen and Anchorwomen, we've got your colors covered. Our Rhode Island College graduation bouquet features classic red and white roses - crisp, timeless, and elegant - paired with soft accent greenery and tied with a rich gold ribbon. It's a bouquet that feels as significant as the moment itself.
RIC graduates have worked hard to get here, and this bouquet is designed to reflect that pride. Whether you're a parent surprising your graduate after the ceremony or planning a family celebration at home, fresh flowers from a local Providence florist add a personal, heartfelt touch.
Brown University Graduation Bouquet
Graduation Dates: May 22–24, 2026
Brown University's Commencement Weekend is one of the most celebrated in New England - a multi-day event that draws families from around the world to College Hill. Our Brown University graduation bouquet is designed to be as memorable as the occasion. Wrapped red and white roses are paired with fresh accent greenery and tied with a bold red ribbon, honoring the university's iconic crimson colors.
If your family is traveling to Providence for Brown's commencement, consider ordering a bouquet delivered directly to your hotel, your Airbnb, or even a restaurant where you're celebrating. We deliver across Providence, so wherever the day takes you, we'll make sure the flowers are there.
Brown's graduation is one of the most anticipated delivery weekends of the year for us. Place your order early to guarantee same-day availability.
RISD Graduation Bouquet - Designer's Choice
Graduation Dates: May 29–31, 2026
RISD graduates are artists. They've spent years developing a creative eye, a distinct aesthetic, and a deep appreciation for beauty in all its forms. A cookie-cutter bouquet just won't cut it.
For Rhode Island School of Design graduation, we recommend choosing our Designer's Choice flower delivery - a one-of-a-kind, custom arrangement created by our lead florist using the most unique and striking blooms available that week. No two bouquets are exactly alike. Our designers hand-pick seasonal flowers with intention, combining unexpected textures, colors, and shapes into something that feels like a work of art in itself.
RISD's school colors are blue and gold, and we can absolutely incorporate those into your custom arrangement if you'd like - just let us know your preferences when you reach out.
To order a RISD Designer's Choice Graduation Bouquet, call us at 401-274-3929 or email pambloomingblossoms@gmail.com. Our team will work with you personally to create something your graduate will absolutely love.

Why Give Graduation Flowers?
You might be wondering: why flowers? In a world of gift cards and Amazon wishlists, a fresh bouquet might seem old-fashioned, but there's a reason people have been giving flowers at graduations for generations.
Flowers mark the moment. A hand-wrapped bouquet presented right after the ceremony creates a memory that photos preserve forever. The visual of a graduate in their cap and gown holding a stunning arrangement of fresh blooms is one of the most iconic and timeless images of the milestone.
Flowers are personal. Unlike a generic gift, a bouquet chosen with your graduate's school colors tells them: I thought about you specifically. I celebrated you. That intentionality matters, especially after years of hard work. Some students will even dry their graduation bouquets, treasuring the day long after it's over.
Flowers bring people together. Graduation days are big, busy, emotional affairs. Having a beautiful bouquet in the mix gives everyone something to gather around, photograph, and celebrate. It becomes part of the story of the day.
And perhaps most importantly, flowers say congratulations in a way that feels genuine and warm. They're not a transaction. They're a gesture.
