Why We Don’t Use Grocery Store Flowers (And Why That Matters)

Why We Don’t Use Grocery Store Flowers (And Why That Matters)

When it comes to floral design, quality is everything. At first glance, grocery store flowers might look colorful and convenient — but behind the cellophane is a very different story. Here’s why Maison d’Fleur only works with premium blooms, and why you’ll never find grocery store stems in our studio:

  1. Freshness That Lasts Grocery Store flowers often endure long shipping and warehouse delays before reaching shelves. By the time they arrive, their best days are behind them. We source our blooms directly from trusted farms and floral markets, ensuring every stem is at peak freshness — and it shows in how long your arrangement lasts.

  2. Premium Varieties, Not Mass-Produced Floral art deserves more than supermarket basics. Grocery bouquets rely on mass-grown flowers like basic carnations or dyed chrysanthemums. We work with high-end varieties: garden roses, ranunculus, lisianthus, peonies, and more — grown for beauty, fragrance, and form.

  3. Artistry Over Assembly Pre-packaged bouquets are designed for shelf life, not beauty. At Maison d’Fleur, every arrangement is designed by a trained floral stylist with intention, balance, and meaning. Each one is crafted as a piece of floral art — not just bundled flowers in plastic wrap.

  4. Designed to Feel, Not Just Fill We believe flowers are emotion made visible. Our designs are meant to spark joy, bring comfort, and mark life’s moments with grace. When you send Maison d’Fleur, you send something deeply considered — not mass-manufactured.

The difference isn’t subtle. It’s in the richness of the blooms, the longevity of the arrangement, and the emotion it carries. Because you’re not just buying flowers. You’re giving an experience.
