Best Small Family Run Florists To Buy Your Valentine’s Day Bouquet

It's a huge commercial day where your other half will tell you not to get them anything for Valentine's Day. And you listen, and you don't. Then you never hear the end of it how you never got them anything for Valentine's Day.

Don't fall for the oldest trick in the book. Similarly, try and shop local for a Valentine's Day Bouquet. Keep the high street alive people, get behind me, we can take this hill. Sorry, got carried away.

Here is a short listicle of small family run florists to buy your Valentine’s day bouquet. Again if you're reading this and would like me to recommend any others then please DM me on instagram. 

CLAPHAM FLOWERS

A place close to my heart, and close to my heart. As a Clapham boy I love the fact I have a building on my high street that has been a florist for over 100 years. 

Clapham Flowers receive daily deliveries from Holland and British growers, ensuring they have fresh, long-lasting flowers to provide to all their clients.

If you've missed out on Valentine's Day keep my local florist in mind for events, weddings etc, they take great pride in their knowledge and passion for elegant fresh flower bouquets as well as dried flowers, indoor and outdoor plants, handmade pots, vases, ethically sourced candles and home-ware to suit all styles. 

​POPPY WILD FLORAL 

I love the tagline, 'it would be an awful shame not to become a florist with a name like Poppy'. A great case of nominative determinism. 

Whilst there is no visible bricks and mortar or high street presence for Poppy, there is a very engaging website that you can visit and she is very active on her Instagram. 

Poppy has harnessed her experience and skills as a commercial Interior Designer fusing international experience as a retail and event Florist.

We can now reap the benefits of her hardcore floral practice, research + hard work and choose from a selection of wonderfully wild services.

KENSINGTON FLOWERS

Let me tell you this place is a labyrinth. Like one of those good old fashioned garden centres you'd get lost in as a child. Garden centres are funny things. You're graduation into adulthood is complete once you know you look forward to a visit to the florists. As a young lad I'd need to be bribed there with sugary treats and the promise of a new Transformer toy. 

Kensington Flowers is a family run luxury artisan flower and plant shop in the heart of Kensington, London. They cater for corporate events, parties, funerals, the lot. If you're really fanatical about flowers then don't forget to check out their flower subscription service. 

​SILVERBIRCH BOUQUETS

Silver Birch Bouquets is a family run floristry business based in the historic market town of Evesham. 

Every one of their incredible designs are created with love by people who simply love what they do. From luxury roses, beautiful lilies to colourful tulips, every stem is hand-picked to last, before we work our magic, incorporating your chosen design. Each bouquet is then beautifully packaged to ensure a finish of the highest standard.

TITANIA'S GARDEN

Moving more central and situated in the heart of Marylebone, Titania's Garden is more than just a local florist. Their fantastic bespoke service, quality of flowers and unique creative designs ensures that customers come back to us time after time.

Even a visit to their store is an experience to tell your co-workers about at the water cooler on Monday. (Do people still do that?) 

Competitively priced and always happy to work with the customer to discover what they desire, Titania's Garden offers direction, innovation and beautiful designs for every occasion.
