In my honest opinion, a gorgeous bouquet of flowers is the best way to say thank you. Sadly, it’s a fleeting gift, which lasts for only a few days before the wilting sets in. So when I received a circular box of white roses this past June from Palatial Petals, with a note that said my flowers would last a year, I was a bit skeptical. Would these flowers, which were not soaking in water, really last for a full 12 months, let alone a full week?

It’s now October and my flowers are still thriving, sans hydration. They look completely natural and they have even maintained their rosy scent; the only upkeep I need to do is dust them off from time to time.

 

 

Seriously, they can customize the arrangements to any Pantone color, though they prefer to keep their collection offering within a range of current, trendy hues. But customization is also a huge part of their business. Palatial Petals has also contributed to countless marriage proposals and baby reveals with their custom arrangements.

The modern florist recently introduced the Suede Collection, which is a luxe upgrade on the classic hatbox, in addition to a limited edition deluxe box. Within the next month or so they anticipate adding a new long lasting flower to their lineup, in addition to a new vessel that holds the flowers. Plus, they plan on adding three new colors to their current selection of 17, by the end of the year.

 

For now, the brand does most of their transactions online and over the phone, but they do welcome customers in the Florida area to visit their Miami Beach office; shoppers can view the variety of flower hues and pick up arrangements in person. “We are in the process of renovating the space into a showroom,” teased Christopher. The brand also hosts pop-up shops during peak seasons, around Valentine’s Day and Mother’s Day, so you can purchase long lasting gifts that everyone will adore.
