This elegant arrangement features deep blue roses symbolizing mystery and elegance, capturing the essence of Buckhead's rich history and vibrant present. Buckhead's story begins in 1838 when Henry Irby purchased 202½ acres near the present intersection of Peachtree, Roswell, and West Paces Ferry Roads for $650. He established a tavern and general store, and the area became known as Irbyville. The name "Buckhead" is believed to have originated when Irby displayed the head of a buck he had killed near his tavern, marking the area and giving it its distinctive name.
Buckhead's history also includes the presence of Black communities. In the 1870s, formerly enslaved Black individuals established neighborhoods such as Johnsontown, Piney Grove, Savagetown, and Macedonia Park.
In 1952, Buckhead was annexed into the city of Atlanta, marking the beginning of its transformation into a bustling commercial and cultural center. Today, it stands as a testament to Atlanta's growth, blending historical charm with modern luxury. Whether commemorating a special occasion or honoring the legacy of this historic neighborhood, this arrangement offers a floral tribute to Buckhead's storied past and refined present.
