In every flower, there is a thought that speaks to you: this is why choosing the right florist is crucial. When you open the doors of a flower shop, a fragrant and colorful world emerges. Made up of flowers, plants, and pottery vases along with private corners to write a note. 

Going to the florist is one of those traditions that makes the mind immediately rush to scenes of d’antan, black and white films, and takes us back to when Grandma advised us to bring a plant everytime we received an invitation. Arriving with a bouquet of flowers or a plant is certainly a vintage gesture, but at the same time its like a business card, which says a lot about you.

Enchanted gardens, unexpected courtyards that reveal flowery corners, and even concept stores, historic institutions and new proposals. Here you will find only the best varieties, fresh and seasonal.

Imagine your soulmate coming out of the office and being welcomed by a bouquet of flowers, or arriving at a date with a bouquet behind your back, revealing it as you approach. Reminiscent of scenes from another era, but with timeless charm. If you are intrigued by the idea of surprising a special person, do so with a flower…but choose these florists!

A flower shop whose windows are like the siren’s song: you can try to resist, but yielding is inevitable. Michela Pozzato has implemented in her shop, Fiori, a love for every season, flower and variety. If the single flower carries in itself an inextinguishable beauty, for those who turn to her, Michela wants to propose the unparalleled beauty of mixing new combinations.

Can flowers and sushi be in the same sentence? Yes, if you choose to buy from Frida’s, the most cozy flower shop there is. Shaped by the creative mind of Alessandra Santi, it is a boutique that reinterprets the concept of flowers through cone and hat packs, bouquets and romantic boxes. Going back to the sushi, which in this case has nothing to do with the rice and salmon rolls, instead it is a basket of strong impact, filled with flowers, defining their “composition for excellence”. This wins because it is simple, and always manages to initiate a smile. They say that the best gifts come in smaller boxes… well, it is the same for flowers!
