Welcome! I love walking into a WEDDING or a PARTY and being warmly greeted! First impressions set the stage for everything that is to come. I think one of the best ways to welcome your guests is with a fresh wreath. A Welcome Wreath is an unexpected element that tells your guest, “tonight is special!” “Come, Enjoy, Celebrate with us!”

When thinking about Personalizing a Special Welcome to your guests, how about adding your initial, or your WEDDING INVITATION, to let each Guest know they are right where they should be: Celebrating with you!

Today’s flower thoughts:

Flowers help us to celebrate, communicate, consecrate … the days of our lives.

Add flowers to a day and it becomes Life. Beautiful.

Our Name: Linden Hills Florist has been the friendly, full service florist nestled on the corner of the Linden Hills neighborhood in South Minneapolis for over 60 years. The aesthetics of the shop reflected the neighborhood: chic and trendy while maintaining the old-fashioned vibe of Minneapolis lakes, ‘hot’ restaurants and lively family-centric events celebrating all the glorious seasons of Minnesota.

Needing more room to accommodate our growing clientele and business demands, we left the corner and have gone ‘virtual.’ Our larger studio-only space near-by gives us room to stretch our creative wings. We continue to have the very same aesthetic that first brought you to our door. And more! Our owners, designers and staff are more creative than ever. Our passion for all things floral remains intact … as has our name! Why mess with a good thing?

So, into the 21^st Century march the Linden Hills florists – contact us by phone, website, email, Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest … or meet us for coffee at the venue of your next event! We love our customers, oh yes, we do! They often become our friends! Stay in touch!

At Linden Hills Florist, we see ourselves as part of our bigger world, doing what we can to make a positive impact on our community and environment. This is what it looks like:

We’re happy being green – this means coordinating our delivery routes, saving time and fuel to reduce our carbon footprint. We compost all qualifying materials from our flower work in biodegradable bags. We recycle! And not only plastic-glass-paper, but we encourage our Brides to donate their extra flowers at the end of their events.

Because we are a local shop, we strive to support and use other local business whenever possible. We have some fantastic local growers who bring us the most interesting and unusual floral products. We also harvest from our own urban garden – it’s a win-win!

And up-cycling –we’ve created some crazy beautiful vases, containers and home accessories from the …. shall we say, left-overs and cast-offs! It’s our newest personal challenge.

We are proud to donate our time and design services at-cost for a number of local charities and non-profits. We have a generous program to support those entites that are near and dear to our hearts. We are continually reminded that giving back often results in paying it forward! In case you would like to add your support, too, here are some of our favorites:
