Our story

Our goal is not to sell more, but to offer better.

In a world built around speed, disposability, and excess, we choose a slower path. We believe the things we live with matter — how they're made, how long they last, and how they make us feel every day. Through flowers, we create small, unexpected moments of delight.

Our roots

From our owner

Growing up, my mom and her best friend ran a wedding flowers business, and I was often there helping where I could — learning by watching, and absorbing the quiet magic of making something beautiful for other people's milestones.

In college, I worked at a florist in my hometown, deepening that connection to flowers as both craft and care. After college, my path shifted. I moved to the big city and built a career in technology — building and eventually selling my own business.

When that chapter closed, I wanted to return to something more tangible — work that made people happy. Figgi is the result of that reflection and intention: a brand rebuilt firmly around our values. Flowers by Figgi is part of Figgi, a vintage event rentals company and boutique.

What we believe

Local first, whenever we can

We source from nearby growers first, buying local whenever the season makes it possible. It means fresher stems, a shorter journey to your door, and support for the farms in our own community.

Handmade by US artisans

Alongside our flowers we stock handmade goods made by independent American artisans — vessels, candles, and small objects chosen to last and to earn a place in your home.

Seasonal before anything else

We buy what's at its peak and let the season lead. Our menu shifts through the year — and every stem is as fresh as the day it was cut.

Better, not more

We curate beauty that feels thoughtful, lasting, and human — things that become part of your story and moments of joy you return to, rather than one more thing to throw away.
