Behind the curtain
Seasonal stems, no shortcuts

Grown nearby, built foam-free
Petal Standard Florist began as an answer to stiff supermarket bunches and wire-service bouquets that never match the picture. From spring tulips and peonies to late-autumn dahlias, we buy from family farms within driving distance of Lexington, and every centrepiece, tribute and arch is built on reusable pin frogs, chicken wire, moss and fresh water rather than single-use foam.
What happens after you order
Your designer chooses the strongest peak-bloom stems from that morning's cooler, strips and conditions them, and writes your card message by hand. For local gift orders you receive a studio photo of the finished piece, and our couriers carry it upright to the door; event pieces are installed on site by the event crew.
Three studio promises
No wire-service middlemen, so your whole spend goes into stems, vessels and our own bench. A seven-day freshness promise: if a stem fades early, we replace it promptly. And pet-safe or low-fragrance designs on request; just mention cats, dogs or scent sensitivities when you order.
