Hello:
Hello, floral enthusiasts! I'm thrilled to share the story behind Flori, a business that has been cultivating beauty and sustainability for the past six years. Nestled in the front of a small horse barn, our studio is more than just a place for floral arrangements—it's a haven for garden-style, sustainable floristry. Let me take you on a journey through Flori's roots, our commitment to the planet, and the blossoming new additions to our repertoire.
The Flori Studio:
Picture this: a studio housed in a rustic horse barn, surrounded by a flourishing garden boasting mature perennials, lush foliage, and a cutting garden adorned with Spring bulbs, annuals, dahlias, and heirloom mums. This is where Flori comes to life, where each bloom is carefully chosen and nurtured to bring nature's elegance into your space. If Flori doesn't grow it, we purchase from local farmers or US grown flowers.
Key Offerings:
At Flori, we pride ourselves on offering more than just beautiful flowers. Our three-month floral subscriptions provide a continuous burst of nature's best, allowing you to bring the outdoors in. But what truly sets us apart is our dedication to crafting meaningful, beautiful and green farewell flowers. From funerals, sympathy flowers to memorials and celebrations of life, our sustainable farewell flowers are designed to honor your loved ones while being gentle on the planet. And Flori is still committed to doing intimate weddings and elopements and corporate events, all with a sustainable bent.
Sustainability at the Core:
One aspect that makes Flori stand out is our unwavering commitment to sustainability. Flori never use traditional flower foam, recognizing the environmental impact it poses as it breaks down into microplastics—forever chemicals that harm our planet. Instead, Flori employs compostable and reusable mechanics, ensuring our arrangements are as eco-friendly as they are stunning.
Local and American Grown:
We believe in supporting local communities and U.S. flower farmers. Flori prioritizes using locally grown flowers whenever possible and turns to American Grown flowers as our second choice. By doing so, we not only ensure the freshest blooms but also contribute to the vitality of local economies and the growth of sustainable practices in the floral industry.
Reduce, Reuse, Recycle:
Flori is committed to the three Rs—reduce, reuse, and recycle. Our studio actively recycles, composts, and upcycles materials, minimizing waste and giving a second life to items that would otherwise end up in landfills. It's our small yet impactful way of contributing to a greener, more sustainable future.
As Flori embarks on a new chapter with the introduction of sustainable farewell flowers, we invite you to join us in celebrating the beauty of nature while honoring your loved ones. Here at Flori, we believe that every bloom tells a story, and we're dedicated to making sure that story is one of beauty, sustainability, and meaningful connections. Thank you for being a part of our journey—it's a pleasure to share the magic of Flori with you.
