Flourish Florals is a women-owned business based in North Center, Chicago. They create elegant yet whimsical floral designs for events and everyday, valuing creativity and quality to ensure every arrangement tells a story and leaves a lasting impression.
This Valentine’s Day, Flourish Florals is proud to support the community by partnering with two local favorites: Village Tap, a beloved neighborhood bar and grill, and The Naked Truffle, an artisanal chocolatier. Pre-orders are available for delivery in Chicago and the surrounding suburbs, or free pickup (+ a free drink) at Village Tap in Roscoe Village, on Friday, February 14th.
What's not to love about Valentine's Day? Hearts, flowers, chocolate, a special day with the ones you love? Sign me up!
We've rounded up some of the best things to do both with, and without, the kids this year. Have fun and tell them we sent you.
