We are all for one and one floral and together we can work to eliminate hunger in our community. Wisconsin is one of the most abundant agricultural states, yet so many residents go without enough to eat. The City of Milwaukee's Fresh Food Access Report states that under the original USDA measure Milwaukee has 13 food deserts; meaning there is not a grocery store within a half mile. We believe that every community member should have guaranteed access to fresh and healthy food.

Last year thanks to your generous support, our Virtual Food Drives with Feeding America and Hunger Task Force raised $866! Let's continue this act of community again this year! We also will be donating 10% of proceeds from our Thanksgiving floral arrangements, stay tuned for the pre-order date!

You can donate using our link below or by texting bouq to 41444

Such a beautiful day!

10/03/2022

L+T had a beautiful wedding day at Villa Filomena (now the ) with a vendor list of all woman owned businesses! 💅🏾💪🏾

As a designer, our bride had a great sense of color and how to achieve a cohesive wedding aesthetic. She opted for a grounded floral meadow to frame the ceremony space and bud vases + taper candles from for the reception.

If you’re unsure of what your vision for floral is, we can help! We’d love to chat with you about your wedding floral dreams and how to create a cohesive design on your special day! Visit our website 414loral.com to inquire about 2023 availability.

414loral was awarded the Shepherd Express Best of Milwaukee Award for Best Florist yesterday and it feels unreal! This type of recognition means so much to small businesses because it comes from those who mean so much to us, our community. It was an honor to be nominated alongside so many other talented finalists!!
✿
414loral isn’t your typical brick + mortar retail floral shop, We aren’t the biggest or most clouted name in the industry & our approach is unconventional to some. Thank you Milwaukee for giving us a seat at the table anyways.
✿
We are literally a 400 sq foot cozy but utilitarian shop with so much heart + grit. Floral design is our soul food and community support is what sustains us. Thank you for loving us, trusting us, and supporting us for exactly who we are. We feel so seen and invigorated for this new year!

The sad truth is that the pandemic is still very real regardless of this new normal we are functioning in. Despite all of our staff being fully vaccinated and taking all recommended safety measures, one of our staff members has been impacted by Covid-19. We have enlisted the help of some amazing friends to fulfill this weeks pre-orders but we will not be taking additional orders until January.

As a small business, the support we receive from 414loral customers is our livelihood. This is definitely not how we imagined ending such a vibrant and beautiful year but we are hopeful as we look forward to what the New Year holds. We love you and thank you all for your support and encouragement during this difficult time- it means the world to us.
