The Best Flower Shops in Austin
Spring has sprung! With Mother’s Day fast approaching, flower shops around town are ready to deliver on all of your floral needs. Although the city also boasts many florists specifically for special occasions and deliveries — some of our favorites are David Kurio, Earl Grey, and Remi & Gold — we’ve focused here on shops you can walk to grab a bouquet for that special someone.
Freytag’s Florist
2211 West Anderson Lane
The 20,000-square foot Freytag’s Florist beckons guests in with an extensive array of blooms fit for a dining room table or a large event. The family run-business has served Austin customers for 50 years, originally started by Ken Freytag in 1974, and has called its Anderson Lane location home for more than 20 of those years. Between their excellent customer service and consistently high-quality flowers, Freytag Florist has developed a stellar reputation as one of Austin’s top flower shops.
House of Margo Blair
1512 West 35th St.
Primarily regarded for their impeccable special event designs, the House of Margot Blair’s flower shop is a perfect place to pop in for a gorgeous, one-of-a-kind bouquet. Founder, CEO and Creative Director Carly Blair has curated a whimsical and luxurious aesthetic for her business’s florals, and you can participate in the shop’s monthly Beginner Flowers+Cocktail Workshops to learn how to make your very own floral creation.
Flor Keeps
8534 South Congress Ave.
Flor Keeps blows guests away with preserved and dried flowers that are every bit as beautiful as a freshly picked bouquet. Flowers are harvested at the peak of natural beauty, before undergoing a process that includes absorbing a biodegradable and plant-based preservation formula, resulting in flowers that will last for months with minimal upkeep! Plus, the shop has partnered with Well Aware to contribute to the nonprofit’s mission to provide solutions to water scarcity and contamination in Tanzania and Kenya.
Austin Flower Co.
1612 West 35th St.
This one’s for the DIYers! Austin Flower Co. operates as the wholesaler to many floral shops and special event florists in town, but also as a shop for locals to peruse and create their own bouquets. Best known for their diverse selection of flowers from New Zealand, Italy, France, Mexico, and more, all blooms are sourced directly from farms, making them as affordable as possible for customers.
Ali Bleu Flowers
6800 West Gate Blvd., #146
At Ali Bleu Flowers, friendly and attentive employees help customers navigate the many styled bouquets, fresh flowers, and dried and silk arrangements in store. Open from 8:30 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Friday and 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday, the shop also provides plenty of greeting cards, gifts, and balloons for birthday parties, bridal showers, or any other celebration.
Malina Flowers
5134 Burnet Road
This north Austin floral design studio creates seemingly every kind of bouquet you could imagine, plus if you order by 4 p.m., they’ll process your order for same-day delivery. We particularly love the shop’s hand-tied bouquets, gorgeous arrays of flowers and greens tied together with a ribbon bow, and hat box arrangements, bouquets arranged in a signature Malina Flowers hat box. The shop also offers “Everlasting Roses,” real roses that last for one to three years with low maintenance.
Verbena Floral Design
1601 West 38th St., #11
The lush bouquets at Verbena Floral Design are created by talented artists who work with customers to customize each order to perfection. Each arrangement is imaginative and exquisite, sure to impress any recipient. Flowers are available for delivery, and in the store, customers can also find a selection of gifts such as candles and vases to accompany any purchase.
Westbank Flower Market
5320 Bee Cave Road
An upscale flower market from owner Keith Burnham, Westbank Flower Market’s everyday arrangements are every bit as showstopping as their wedding and occasion offerings. With an inventory of styles ranging from modern to grand, there’s something for every flower lover here!
Ben White Florist
3200 South Congress Ave.
After originally opening on Ben White Boulevard, Ben White Florist has now been located on South Congress Avenue for more than 30 years. If you’re short on time, the family-run business provides pick-up specials and same-day delivery, as well as a collection of blooms available for $75 or less.
Mercedes Flowers
1706 South Lamar Blvd.
The first iteration of Mercedes Flowers opened in Chihuahua, Mexico more than 50 years ago, and now, the first Mercedes’ granddaughter, also named Mercedes, provides gorgeous flowers for delivery and in-store pickup. The inventory includes everything from peonies, ranunculus, and roses, to succulents and different types of greenery. Every arrangement here is custom-made, and the storefront is open via appointments.
Studio Mistine Floral Design
2105 Justin Lane
Studio Mistine Floral Design offers a refreshingly personal approach to floral artistry in Austin. Founded by Mistine Boren, who brings over 20 years of luxury event experience from Bangkok to Napa Valley, this boutique studio transcends the typical “what’s your budget” conversation. Instead, Mistine crafts bespoke arrangements that tell your unique story, focusing on what moves you emotionally rather than just the bottom line.
