Philadelphia Floral Design Studio and Flower Farm

Fresh. Unique. Textural. Unexpected. Lush. Distinctive. These are all words frequently associated with wedding flowers designed by Love ‘n Fresh Flowers, LLC, premier wedding florist in Philadelphia. Since we grow all our own flowers and very rarely use imported wholesale flowers, our style is anything but boring and typical. Instead it is highly personalized and decidedly different. Local flowers have a story and you’re part of it! We particularly love working with brides who are interested in creating an intimate, personalized atmosphere for their guests to enjoy. Lush and flowing centerpieces and exquisite bridal bouquets are our specialty.

Our full service includes all the usual possibilities any florist might offer, including event design, rentals, and beautiful florals on the big day. Unlike other florists, we custom grow your flowers for you, using only organic practices, right in our very own verdant flower fields in Philadelphia! We will buy seed and grow your beautiful blooms just for you, spending months nurturing every element to fit your vision. It makes for an incredibly personal connection to your flowers and a wonderful addition to your love story.

Love ‘n Fresh Flowers workshops focus on floral design techniques that effortlessly showcase locally and sustainably grown elements, including those snipped right out of your home garden. Students are encouraged to explore their own style of design within the framework of guidelines demonstrated in these hands-on workshops and to ask questions about planting a flower garden of their own. Workshops typically last 2-3 hours and are intended to be accessible to all skill levels. Class sizes are limited to 12 so there is plenty of time for hands-on practice and one-on-one attention from the instructor.

We have two unique workshop formats. For those interested in learning some basic floral design techniques and enjoying time at our farm, exploring the rows of flowers and relaxing in a wide open space, our Floral Fundamentals Workshops are just the ticket and are outlined below. For those interested in pursuing floristry as a profession or who already have a flower business, we offer a unique and intensive Floral Cohort curriculum.

Love ‘n Fresh Flowers, LLC presently farms five acres of lush, rich land located in the Andorra/Upper Roxborough neighborhood in Philadelphia. While well within the city’s limits, this section of Philadelphia has a long standing agrarian tradition and remains surprisingly “rural”, sitting on bluffs above the Schuylkill River and boasting a silty clay loam that supports abundant growth. The exuberant flower fields play host to countless wild birds, bees, butterflies, lady bugs, four-legged furry friends and, by times, a badelynge of ducks who are on slug and grasshopper patrol. Large plantings of perennials and shrubs, especially native varieties, provide unusual cutting material and boost biodiversity.

The flower farm is not open to the general public. Special open house days are scheduled annually for clients and farm friends to tour the fields. On-farm floral design workshops are another opportunity to see the fields.
