Shaw-based florist Sidra Forman often incorporates found elements into her bundles, like branches from the persimmon tree in her backyard. Because her work emphasizes natural beauty, you’re more likely to see pops of peonies than a sprig of baby’s breath. Ever the naturalist, Forman works exclusively with flowers that are in season and has a way with weaving clusters of green into pastel bunches.
A bouquet of flowers is healthier than a box of chocolates and looks prettier sitting out on the counter. We’re not saying you shouldn’t still get the sweets, just that there may just be some fresher options to consider. With that in mind, we’ve plucked a bunch of our favorite local florists from every price range, each offering flower delivery and stunning arrangements year round. Go the extra mile by taking your loved one/new flame to brunch or dinner at one of the city’s best restaurants.
