Our Favorite Floral Shops and Sources in Dallas

Though Patricio Rivera initially studied fashion, the young talent found he was most happy expressing himself through botanicals. You can spot his Twelve Thirty Four designs bringing gorgeous life to events or brand activations around Dallas, but Rivera can also be tapped for custom work for those who wish to branch out.

In Todd Fiscus we trust, which is why we’ve followed the sought-after event planner’s floral design shop since he took over a small Highland Park Village space in 2008. Now, Avant Garden occupies a pretty spot in the Shop at Highland Park, fashioned to look like sumptuous aristocratic dining rooms of years past — the flower arrangements also happen to be a sculptural thing of beauty.

For Valentine’s Day, consider a twist on the traditional bouquet with Avant Garden’s Roses and Rosé — complete with Dallas’ Rose Gold.

Courtney Esposito may be best known for her pumpkin porch displays, but the designer also whips up stunning botanical wreaths, bouquets, and showstopping planter installations under the Bee Contained banner.

Weddings and special events are Billie Ball’s bread and butter, but the lovely Dallas floral shop led by designer Katie Arani does offer earthy, eye-catching arrangements for the home. Though Arani is not accepting custom Valentine’s Day orders this year, you can find her natural works of art on her website.

Artist and designer Shane Friesenhahn has finally settled into a permanent space to create his natural wonders: Thompson Dallas. Holding regular hours within the downtown hotel (Monday through Friday), The Botanical Mix offers stunning modern arrangements that add life and movement wherever they’re placed.

After blowing up on Instagram three years ago, Nolan Kiser’s artful displays of painted fronds, wildflowers, and even produce have gone on to grace every chic destination in Dallas, from luncheons at The Charles and Beverley’s to displays at La Vie Style House, Tootsies, and the Fashion Industry Gallery. Currently, clients in Dallas and New York can DM Kiser at @BottegaDeFlores for his one-of-a-kind bouquets.

Cebolla is synonymous with fine flowers in Dallas. The longstanding floral shop is known for its European-style arrangements and stunning statement pieces.

The beloved Bishop Arts District store is bursting with lavish bohemian bouquets. The funky space feels more artist’s studio than flower shop, leaving any visitor inspired.

Floral Bar founder Jamie Webber can go minimal, but the designer’s talents are best experienced through maximalist arrangements, overflowing with painted fronds, feathers, anthurium, and lush petals. Pay a visit to her sweet Southlake studio for craft nights and private floral arranging lessons.

The gorgeous and somewhat mysterious shop on Travis Street is a multifaceted gem. The store has long been a notable source for striking jewelry, sweet-smelling incense, and all manner of unique gifts. It’s also arguably the ultimate ladies-who-lunch spot in Dallas (snob sandwich, anyone?).

For this story’s purpose, however, we’ll focus on Grange Hall’s floral section, where roses and hydrangeas can be dotted with painted succulents, quartz geodes, and sea fan, then wrapped together in a velvet ribbon. They’re the sexiest bouquets you’ll find in Dallas.

Designer Tammy Esfandi runs this delightful floral business out of the Dallas Design District, where she’ll design living creations for an event, host floral design classes, and put together thoughtful bouquets ready for gifting. Consider signing up for a monthly subscription to keep things fresh.
