10 Black-Owned Florists In Every City To Shop For Any Occasion

Fact: Everyone loves getting flowers. That said, if you're planning on buying flowers for a loved one, whether for a birthday or just because, it's important to be intentional about where you do your shopping. Rather than heading to a larger chain company or mega-retailer, buying a bouquet from a small, Black-owned florist in your city can add a personalized touch to the already touching gesture.

As easily as a single bouquet can bring joy to your dearest, it can also provide vital support for Black-owned businesses during a time where it is appreciated most. According to Forbes, 41% of Black small businesses had shuddered by August 2020 as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. With the world opening up again, showing support for existing businesses is more vital than ever.

All of that said, it's time to brainstorm your bouquet of choice. As you read, look out for all the major floral design trends for 2022 (houseplants, orchids, and other non-traditional blooms) — which these Black-owned boutiques are abreast of and ready to arrange for you. While reliable and timeless, your dearest may relish a change of pace from typical go-to roses or tulips — so don't be afraid to think outside of the box and try something new.

Read on to find your city and learn more about the floral boutique you can support there.
