Let’s be honest
there are a lot of reasons to hire Ampersand but here’s just a few reasons:
- We love flowers! We love making beautiful things and selling beautiful things and well… making the world a more beautiful place! (2024 marks our 10th year open!) 💛
- Flowers make everyone happy and flowers make every event (big or small) super-duper special. We may be biased, but it’s not a celebration until you have flowers. 🥂
- You are ACTIVELY supporting your own community and a queer-owned small business — good for you! 🌈
- We strive to make the ordering process and proposal process *easy and stress-free* 😎

You may find yourself asking,
“I want to actively show solidarity with my favorite gay-owned business but don’t know how…”
We got you 👇 Here are four FREE ways to support Ampersand this Pride Season! 🏳️🌈
1️⃣ Leave a 5-Star Review on Google and Yelp! (You can literally copy and paste the same 5-Star Review for both websites, ya’ll) ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
2️⃣ Follow us on Instagram, tag, like, and share all of the gorgeous things. leave a like and drop a comment — seriously this matters so much! 🧡
3️⃣ Come visit our retail location and snap a photo of yourself, your friends, and our gorg retail space. Come hang with all the plants and flowers, stop by to smell the roses, and snag a new profile pic. 🌺
4️⃣ Spread the love and the magic of word-of-mouth referrals! Talk us up to your besties, your newly engaged friends looking for wedding flowers, your favorite restaurants, bars, office spaces, who need a little Ampersand *zhush* and more. Our primary success has been found in this type of referral system! 🥰
You might also be asking…. “Does this even help or matter?”
The answer is a resounding 👏 YAS 👏
As a small business, our resources are extremely minimal (especially since we don’t run any ads) — the more you can share, review, visit, and invest in us as much as possible makes a huge impact on our success — and we need your support!
🔥🫖🔥 The real tea is that the Summer months *suck* with retail sales! After 10 years in business, we know the rhythm of shopping at Ampersand slows down during the Summer months
*Cue internal seasonal panic 😱*
But even if you’re not shopping around right now, you can still support us with these free actions.
Oh, and if you *do* want to support us — even better! 🙏 Please make a purchase!
We offer so many beautiful things, starting at $2 and up — with the ability to shop online and even more options available in store, so
😅 Not gonna lie
being a florist is actually really beautiful and truly wonderful, but can also be really dirty and messy boots 🤠 So thankful to my team for helping get our studio back into shape 🧹
BTW are we going to talk about this new Taylor Swift album, because I’m obsessed. 🤍

Can we talk about
immersive flower experiences?
It is so delightful to design for an experience that will last a few days and transform over time.
@jennigrubbaevents hosted a vendor getaway @whispertree.retreat and let me take the reigns to design the dining table with this concept that was brewing in my head for quite some time.
Daffodils are quite a surprise as they turn from basically a straight stick shape into these gorgeous little precious cups with bright and bold yellow faces.
The concept was to create a cozy vibe with loads of candles (duh) and to enjoy the expression of daffodils from bud all the way to bloom— and the guests got to see the transformation throughout the retreat weekend.
It’s just pure magic honestly.
Thanks to @maiden.flora for the assist in building the concept with me and thanks for hosting such a special event @jennigrubbaevents 💛🌼🕯️

Pride is such an important + beautiful time to show support, rise up against oppression, and celebrate our uniqueness as a community. It’s not just a really fun party, or a corporate rainbow-washing (although we love to see the support!), it’s an everyday act of visibility. We see you, thanks for seeing us. Happy Pride, loves. 🏳️🌈✊🏳️⚧️ #pride
