Roses are red, violets are blue, and where you get your bouquet is up to you… but we thought we’d help you out.

We’ve picked a few flower shops to help get you started on that perfect gift for that special someone. And a reminder, Valentine’s Day is in three weeks.

Fridas Flowers

$85-$300
This Latina-owned floral studio’s bouquets are inspired by Latin culture + dance, and each bouquet is named after its new owner. This Indianapolis flower shop is grounded in decolonized funk, feminism, and ancestral connection. Order online and pick from options like Showstopper, Fashionista, and La Mas Linda.

Somewhere Somehow Pretty Amazing

$85-$125
This local woman-owned micro cut-flower farm works with Indiana flora as much as possible. Sign up for a flower subscription for regular flower deliveries, or choose from two beautifully crafted bouquets online for Valentine’s Day that will have you saying “be mine” in no time.
