Alex and Quinn have over 25 years of combined experience in the floral industry. They started in Los Angeles. Alex started by sweeping the floors and potting the orchids and Quinn started as a delivery driver but in separate shops across town from each other. When Quinn moved into the apartment across the courtyard from Alex, they became friends pretty quickly.
They launched FLWR Shop in 2016, fueled by their passion for thoughtful design, excellent customer service, and their knowledge of flowers. Alex and Quinn chose a 100-year-old classic four square Victorian in Five Points as the birthplace of FLWR Shop. The couple transformed the lower level into a beautiful plant and flower shop, while they made their home upstairs. FLWR Shop quickly established itself as a mainstay of the East Nashville community and soon extended beyond East Nashville, delivering fresh flowers throughout all of Nashville daily. Nashville Scene’s Editor’s selected FLWR Shop as the Best New Flower Shop in its first year, and the following year, it topped the reader’s poll for Best Flower Shop in Nashville.
The 2020 tornado later destroyed the original shop in Five Points.
A month after the tornado they opened their Belle Meade location along with a production studio to handle their daily delivery and event orders.
Our Belle Meade Retail Location.
Over the years, they ascended in America’s dwindling apprentice-style floral industry, cultivating a passion for unique, elegant designs. They worked in LA, Miami, San Francisco and New York City. Armed with years of knowledge and ambition, they sought their own venture. Alex and Quinn moved to East Nashville to put down roots and these roots manifested in the form of the sweetest little girl named Johnnie.
Sadly, the 2020 tornado completely destroyed their first location. Quinn, Alex, and Johnnie thankfully reached the basement with their dog Lucy just in time. In a matter of seconds, the tornado wiped away all they had built. Fortunately, they had almost finished building their second location in Belle Meade.
The community of Nashville provided an enormous amount of help and support, enabling them to resume work just days after the tornado. They will always feel enormous gratitude towards Nashville for its significant role in helping them get back on their feet.
Today, Flwr Shop is on the other side of that tornado and (almost) on the other side of a pandemic. They have a retail location in Belle Meade and a full production studio in East that creates gorgeous floral arrangements daily for delivery all across Nashville. The new production studio has enabled them to do bigger, more ambitious events and take on more events than ever before. They also have plans in place to bring back an East Nashville retail location in the coming year.
Through everything, FLWR Shop prides itself on having great floral design, unique and distinctive flowers, and the very best customer service. A commitment is made to being the very best flower shop, not just in Nashville, but well, ever!
