Flower Bomb Floral

Audrey Hepburn once said, “To plant a garden is to believe in tomorrow.” This quote seemed very fitting as we near the end of 2020. Audrey Hepburn certainly knew what she was talking about and I love flowers. This week we headed to Flower Bomb Floral!

Flower Bomb

Once we walked into the boutique we were welcomed with a warm hello and immediately offered help creating a bouquet. Solara, the shop’s owner, had fun creating a unique and tropical bouquet for us. She was mindful of our budget and what style we were looking for. With all the rain we were thrilled to have something that reminded us of a beach vacation and warmer weather. The bouquet was unlike anything I’d seen before. Solara is a magician with flowers!

The rest of the shop is filled with house plants, both large and small, pre-arranged potted perfections, cards, chocolates, and some awesome local art. Though the shop is small, it was easy to spend much more time in there than expected. While we were waiting we learned that Flower Bomb was Portland’s first mobile plant and flower boutique. Then in early 2020 she opened her very own brick and mortar shop. If you are looking for something to brighten your day or to brighten your home, be sure to go support this amazing local business!
