From sustainable studios to Japanese-inspired minimalists, these are the flower shops making Singapore bloom
Singapore’s florist scene is as diverse as the city itself—you’ll find everything from extravagant tropical arrangements to stripped-back ikebana-inspired designs. Whether you’re after a show-stopping wedding centrepiece or just want fresh blooms for your coffee table, these five shops are doing it better than anyone else.
1. Stalk Blush
Best for weddings and luxury events
This Tiong Bahru shophouse is where Singapore’s style set go when they want florals that’ll make their Instagram followers weep with envy. The team here specializes in lush, textured arrangements that somehow manage to feel both tropical and refined—think local orchids mingling with imported peonies in colour combinations you didn’t know you needed. Their wedding work is particularly spectacular, and they’ve done collaborations with some of the city’s top hotels and luxury brands. Yes, you’ll pay for the privilege, but the artistry is genuinely exceptional. They take their time with consultations too, so you’re not just getting flowers—you’re getting a whole floral narrative.
2. Petalfoo
Best for eco-conscious flower lovers
If your idea of heaven is loose, garden-style arrangements that look like they’ve just been gathered from a meadow (and you care about where your flowers come from), head to this Katong studio. The founders have backgrounds in environmental science, and it shows—they source locally when possible, skip the floral foam, and keep plastic to an absolute minimum. Their flower subscription service is brilliant for keeping your flat or office looking fresh, and their workshops will teach you how to arrange like a pro. The aesthetic is natural and organic, which means these bouquets actually look like living things rather than stiff shop displays.
3. Flowerbee Florist
Best for reliability and convenience
Going strong since 1976, Flowerbee is basically a Singapore institution at this point. They’ve grown into a full-scale garden and lifestyle operation with multiple shops and a massive Thomson nursery, but their florist services remain excellent across the board. Need same-day delivery? They’ve got you. Looking for something simple or wildly elaborate? Both covered. They’re particularly solid for corporate accounts and sympathy arrangements—not the most glamorous category, but one where reliability really matters. Prices won’t make you wince, and their sheer staying power says everything about their trustworthiness.
4. Bloom & Song
Best for minimalist interiors
Tucked away on Duxton Hill, this studio takes a distinctly Japanese approach to flowers. We’re talking minimalist compositions with just a few carefully chosen stems, where negative space is as important as the blooms themselves. If your flat is all clean lines and uncluttered surfaces, these arrangements will fit right in—they’re like little meditations on simplicity. The team pairs flowers with striking vessels (including Japanese ceramics and vintage finds they stock in-store) and gives you proper care instructions so everything lasts. Not cheap, but distinctive in a city where everyone else is doing abundance.
5. Petal & Poem
Best for CBD workers
With shops in Raffles Place and Telok Ayer, this lot have figured out exactly what busy professionals want: quality flowers with zero faff. Their online ordering is streamlined, delivery windows are reliable, and the selection is curated but not overwhelming. They’re brilliant at monochromatic bouquets—think generous bunches of all roses, all tulips, or all hydrangeas—wrapped simply but beautifully. Mid-range pricing, transparent, and their customer service actually responds when you need them. Perfect for when you need to send something impressive without spending your lunch hour comparing peonies.
Know before you go
Singapore’s heat and humidity mean flowers need TLC—make sure someone’s home to receive deliveries, and keep arrangements in air-con. Most florists need 24-48 hours’ notice for custom work, though same-day is possible for standard bouquets. WhatsApp ordering is often quickest. Expect to pay around $60-100 for basic bouquets, $200-500+ for premium work. Book well ahead for Valentine’s, Mother’s Day and CNY unless you fancy slim pickings.
Insider tip: Hit up the wholesale flower markets at Geylang Serai or Thomson early morning for fresh blooms at a fraction of retail prices. You’ll need to arrange them yourself, but that’s half the fun.
