A florist without a storefront

Why we take small orders

Most quality Colorado studios set minimums in the thousands, and there is a real reason for it. A wedding takes roughly the same hours of consultation, sourcing and coordination whether it is six people or two hundred, and a storefront has to cover its rent either way.

The effect is that an elopement, an intimate wedding or a small memorial cannot be served. People are told no, or quoted a number that means no. We built this to be the place those orders are welcome, and the way we made it work was to take the storefront out of the equation.

Studio-based, order only

There is no shop to visit. We do not sell walk-in bouquets, potted plants or giftware. Everything is by order and appointment, designed in our studio and delivered refrigerated.

That is not a limitation we are apologising for. It is the mechanism. No retail rent, no walk-in staffing, no display inventory quietly dying on a shelf. It is why our designed work runs 40 to 60% below traditional full-service pricing using the same designers and the same farm-direct product.

Two ways to buy, and you can use both

National bulk sites will ship you stems in a box and nothing else. Local florists will sell you finished work and will not sell you loose stems. Both are reasonable businesses, and between them they leave out the person who wants bulk flowers for twenty reception tables and does not want to make her own bridal bouquet the morning of her wedding.

So we do both, and one order can be split between them. Bulk stems for the tables, designed florals for the bridal party, one delivery, one invoice. It is the thing we would most like people to know about us, and it is not something you will find at a traditional florist or a national shipper.

Hand-delivered, not shipped

Every order travels refrigerated from our cooler to your door on a date you choose. For bulk buyers this is the whole difference. The alternative is a carton that arrives when the carrier gets there, sometimes warm, sometimes crushed, and a claims process that returns your money but not your Saturday.

When something is wrong with ours, we can be there the same day. That is what local actually buys you.

What we will not claim

That everything is Colorado-grown. Colorado's climate does not support year-round commercial cut-flower production at event volume. Some of what we deliver in July is grown here; most of what we deliver in February is not. What is true year-round is farm-direct sourcing, grower to our cooler, rather than a wholesaler-to-retailer chain. Ask about your month and we will give you the real answer.

That DIY is right for everyone. If you do not have four people willing to spend a Thursday evening stripping foliage, a good full-service florist earns every dollar they charge. We would rather say that now than have you discover it in June.

That we are the least expensive. A national bulk site will beat us on the stem price. We are not competing on that number. We are competing on whether the flowers are alive and on time.

Where we are in this

We are early. Our gallery is not yet full of our own work, and we do not have a wall of reviews. We would rather tell you that than fill the gaps with stock photography passed off as a portfolio or testimonials nobody wrote. When we publish a review it will come from a verified customer, with their permission.

What we can stand behind today is the sourcing, the cold chain, the small orders nobody else will take, and an itemised quote within one business day.
