Bell Street studio Order by 1:00pm for same-day delivery inside 8 miles.

Bell Street · Hollis Park

We are two people in the back half of a hardware store.

The front half still sells paint and washers. We took the back in 2016, kept the tile floor and the pegboard, and started making flowers to order.

There is no cooler of ready-made bouquets here to grab on your way past. Everything is cut and built the day it goes out, which is why the cutoff below is a real cutoff and not a marketing line. Bouquets start at $65.

Why the arrangements look like that

Roz dressed sets for regional theatre for eleven years.

That is the whole explanation for the house style. Theatre taught her to build things that read from twenty feet back and still hold up close, and to make an arrangement look like it was caught halfway through moving rather than pinned in place.

So the flowers lean. Stems cross. Something is usually escaping the side of the vase on purpose. If you want a tight symmetrical dome, we are genuinely not the right studio, and we will say so on the phone rather than after you have paid.

Let a little beauty unfold.

What things cost

Prices, before you have to ask for them.

Every price on this page is the price. There is no consultation required to find out what a bouquet costs, and nothing here is "starting from" in the way that usually means double.

How the studio runs

Four numbers that explain most of our answers.

1:00pm

The same-day cutoff

Order before one and it goes out that afternoon. Order after one and it goes out the next delivery day. We cut and build everything the morning it leaves.

8 miles

How far we drive

Measured from the Bell Street door. Outside it we will recommend someone closer to you rather than quote a price we would resent driving.

People who work here

Roz and Teddy. Not a front of house, not a delivery team. When you call, one of the two people who will make your flowers answers.

Fri & Sat

When you can walk in

Ten to four, those two days. Tuesday through Thursday we are filling orders and building weddings. Sunday and Monday we are closed.

Before you ask

Things we will not do, and why.

It is easier for everyone if this is on the website rather than discovered halfway through a phone call.

  • Floral foam

    It is plastic that never breaks down, and it ends up in the ground after one evening on a table. We build into chicken wire and water tubes instead. It takes longer and it is the main reason a large installation quotes higher here than elsewhere.

  • Dyed or glittered flowers

    No blue roses. No sprayed gold. If a colour does not grow, we cannot get it for you, and we would rather find you something that does grow in that shade.

  • Baby's breath

    Roz has a long-standing position on this and she is not moving. There is always something better to fill a gap with.

  • Roses in a box

    The hat-box arrangement is a real thing people want and we are bad at it. Ask us and we will tell you who in Hollis Park does it properly.

Who you are talking to

Roz and Teddy.

The studio bench, mid-arrangement, with stems and clippings across the surface.

Roz Plumb · Founder

Dressed sets for regional theatre for eleven years, then opened the studio in 2016 because she wanted to build something that only had to look right once, for one person. Takes the Tuesday market run. Answers the phone most days.

Buckets of cut stems at the market, early morning.

Teddy Nakashima · Designer

Joined in 2021 and now runs most of the wedding work, which means he is the one you meet at the consultation. Keeps the grower relationships. Is the reason we stopped using foam.

Ordering

Tell us the occasion and a budget, and we will take it from there.

You do not need to know what flowers you want. Most people do not. The two things that actually help us are the date it needs to arrive and the number you are comfortable spending, and we will work backwards from those.
