Southside Flower Market

Southside Flower Market We are a European Fresh Flower Market specializing in fresh stems, dazzling flowers, weddings & funerals.

Welcome to Southside Flower Market

At Southside Flower Market, flowers aren’t just something we sell—they’re a language, a celebration, a way to brighten life’s moments, both big and small. We believe in the magic of fresh blooms, the beauty of thoughtful design, and the joy that flowers bring to everyday life. Founded in 2019, Southside Flower Market began with a simple idea: to create a welcomi

ng space where people could experience the artistry of flowers in a fresh, modern way. What started as a dream quickly bloomed into a boutique floral shop known for its vibrant color palettes, lush textures, and carefully curated seasonal selections. Whenever possible, we source fresh stems from local West Michigan farmers, ensuring the highest quality blooms while supporting our community. Today, Renee Koops and Tracey Gerdeman are proud to be owners of a women-owned and led business, built on creativity, connection, and community. Our shop at Breton Village Mall is a place where customers can browse our walk-in cooler full of fresh-cut stems, bring in a cherished vase to be filled with something special, or work with our talented designers to craft a unique arrangement. Flowers for Every Moment

Whether you’re celebrating love, honoring a life, or simply looking to brighten your home, we specialize in custom floral designs that feel personal and meaningful.

🌿 Weddings & Events – From intimate gatherings to grand celebrations, we bring your floral vision to life with artistry and care.
🌸 Everyday Blooms – No reason needed—our seasonal stems are perfect for adding beauty to your space or sending joy to someone special.
🌿 Memorial & Sympathy Flowers – Thoughtfully designed arrangements to express love, remembrance, and support during life’s most tender moments. More Than Just Flowers

Southside Flower Market is more than a flower shop—it’s a place where stories are shared, creativity flourishes, and relationships bloom. We are inspired daily by our customers, our community, and the love of those who came before us (represented by the bright red cardinal in our logo). Come visit us, explore our ever-changing floral selection, and let’s create something beautiful together.

This was not an accident.😆

Renee and Carol have a whole system for coordinating outfits and honestly the commitment is impressive. Somewhere there’s a group text that’s more active than most people’s family group chats.

We just work here. 😄🌸

Florists check three or four specific things before a stem ever makes it into a bouquet. Most people never think to look...

Swipe through - save this one for the next time you’re picking flowers out yourself, wherever you’re buying them.

Okay we need an honest answer here.🧐

Is there something you’ve been meaning to do all summer and just… haven’t? A place you keep saying you’ll go, a thing you keep pushing to next weekend?

Drop it in the comments. We’re building our own last-minute summer list off of yours. 😄🌸

Nobody warns you about the last week of August.

The pools close, the kids go back to school, and somehow the flowers know it too - everything in the cooler this week is exploding into fall before any of us are ready.

One more week of the big, loud, saturated summer color as the mums and dahlias take over. Come get it while it’s here.

I said this to a customer on Saturday and I think it’s the best way I’ve ever explained it.

You wouldn’t drink dirty water out of a slimy straw. Flowers don’t like that either.

Every other day — fresh water, fresh cut on the stem. Rinse the vase. Rinse the stems. That slimy feeling? That’s bacteria blocking the stem so water can’t travel up to the bloom.

Your flowers aren’t dying because they’re old. They’re dying because they’re thirsty and can’t drink.

60 seconds every other day. That’s all it takes. Your flowers will last days longer. You’re welcome. 🌷😄

Simone made this for our monthly Designer’s Choice delivery and I have been staring at it ever since.

Pink chrysanthemum. White sunflower. Roses. Gerbera daisies. Waxflower. All of it spilling out in that warm late summer way that makes a room feel like everything is going to be okay.

This is what shows up at your door on repeat when you have a Southside subscription. No thinking required. Just beauty.

Call us or go online to set one up. 🌸🌷

Did you know sunflowers came in this many personalities??🌻🌻

Fluffy ones, classic ones, chocolate centered ones, all the BIG dramatic varieties showed up together this week and I could not pick a favorite so now it’s your problem too.

Come see them for yourself, hold them, and debate with Renee about which one is best.

Not every part of this job is glamorous - sometimes it’s just holding a stubborn stem in place while your business partner works her magic. 🌻

Whatever it takes.

Thank you for letting us do what we love every day, see you this weekend! 🌷
