Flowers are always a no brainer, but why not choose a company that sets the highest standard in floral creations and delivery? Let her unwrap a bouquet from Kalla and you will know the difference in an instant. The new luxury floral online boutique is exclusive to Chicago and Miami—and these artful creations come standing in a creative gift box that features the stunning work of commissioned artists. She’ll unwrap one of Kalla’s stunning limited edition bouquets, often featured in the coolest vases. “The floral industry has become saturated with generic arrangements and an assembly line approach—particularly when it comes to online and mass market retailers,” says Kalla’s lead floral designer Addie Flynn. “We wanted to bring a hand-crafted, personal connection back to flower delivery—while at the same time offering products that are incredibly unique and modern. Every relationship and occasion is different, so the craft and thoughtfulness that goes into each Kalla delivery makes it all the more meaningful.”
We fell in love with Bea & The Lady, a whimsical bouquet and adorable vase that features Pink O’Hara Garden Roses, wisps of Asparagus Fern, and the Succulents that add a playful twist. For Valentine’s Day, you can add a bottle of sparkling wine from the Hill Family Estate and chocolates by Christopher Elbow Artisan Chocolates to your order. Bouquets range in price from $95-$250 and each one has a unique story and inspiration. Learn more about this luxury flower company at www.kalla.com.
