Petalmere florist Basket 0

A one-person flower studio

Flowers tied by hand, the morning they go out

Petalmere is a private florist working from a home studio. Bouquets are cut and tied for one delivery at a time, dried flowers and vases travel by post, and every order is agreed with you by email before a cent changes hands.

Cut to order

Nothing sits in a cooler waiting. Bouquets are made the day they are delivered.

Two ways to travel

Fresh bouquets are hand-delivered locally. Dried flowers, vases and care items post nationwide.

Seasonal by nature

If a flower is not good that week it is swapped for something better, and you are told first.

Ordering flowers

Four steps, all of them by email

Every bouquet is made to order by one person, so the basket starts a conversation rather than an automatic checkout.

  1. 1

    Fill the basket

    Choose bouquets or extras. Prices are in USD and no payment is taken anywhere on this site.

  2. 2

    Send it over

    Leave your email, the town the flowers are going to, and the date you have in mind.

  3. 3

    Read the reply

    You get an email confirming what is in season, the delivery cost, and how to pay.

  4. 4

    Say yes, or not

    Nothing is ordered or charged until you accept that email. Changing your mind before then costs nothing.

What you can count on

An honest vase life
Every fresh listing says how long the stems should last, and what to do on the first day to help.
Substitutions told to you
Seasonal gaps happen. If a stem changes, the reply tells you before you agree to anything.
One person answering
The same florist reads the enquiry, makes the bouquet and answers if something goes wrong.
