When you come by for a visit, you will find many, gorgeous fresh flower bouquets, dish gardens, flowering baskets and the best selection of occasion themed gifts in the lakeshore area.
Our team locally sources floral products when possible. There are some great farms and companies in Michigan that produce really product options for us. When local sourcing isn’t possible, we buy direct from flower farms or wholesalers. We purchase from both domestic and international growers. That ensures that we can provide our customers with the best selection of floral products available. When you come into any of our Huisman Flowers design centers, you will quickly see why our firm is one of the top florists in the area.
Buying direct offers many great advantages. We are able to reduce the cost to acquire flowers. Our firm has always passed along much of that cost savings to our customers. The time between when the flowers are cut at the farm, and when they arrive here at our flower shops is reduced. When our award-winning floral design staff utilizes fresher product in an arrangement, that translates directly into longer vase life for the gift recipient. We operate multiple flower shops in the Lakeshore area. Our local flower delivery area is one of the largest of any florist operating in this area. Our flower shops are open to the public for in-store shopping. Each is equipped with large walk-in coolers.

Our Professional Floral Designers Produce Caring and Gorgeous Flower Arrangements!
Huisman Flowers Professional Floral Designers are in the business of making customers events a success. Whether it is an intimate gathering or a grand affair, they will set up the best floral design to compliment your vision and budget. Our team of compassionate and detail minded designers use fresh farm grown flowers and their creative skills to produce the most stunning flower arrangements in the industry. SPECIAL DISCOUNT OFFERS - USE ON MAIN WEBSITE Floral Design Floral design is a creative art form that uses floral materials to produce artistic designs. Floral designers use a variety of mediums, including fresh and dried flowers, foliage, fruits and vegetables as well as other products such as bamboo stalks, grasses or feathers. They often work with an arranger or florist to create finished pieces for customers in the wedding industry or for retail sale at florists' shops. Floral design can be used in the making of floral arrangements (such as bouquets), corsages/boutonnieres and other creations such as wreaths or centerpieces. The term "floral designer" may also refer more specifically to people who create custom-made wedding bouquets on behalf of clients who are getting married at their own homes rather than having them done professionally by a florist. A person who designs floral arrangements but does not work with live plants (i.e., someone who uses only dried materials) would not normally be considered a "florist". Floral designers are often trained at trade schools or colleges and may be certified by the American Institute of Floral Designers. Floral designers can also be involved with the design of floral decorations for interiors, such as furniture or walls. Floral design is often used in wedding planning as well as other types of celebrations such as birthday parties and anniversaries. Floral Design Skills Floral designer skills are varied, and they can be broken down into five categories: creative, technical, organizational, business and interpersonal. The most important of these is creativity; floral designers must have a natural talent for designing flowers and plants to create beautiful arrangements. They also need to have excellent taste in color schemes and textures so that their designs look attractive from every angle. They must be able to visualize a finished product before starting work on it--and if something doesn't turn out right during construction (which happens often), they must know how to fix it quickly. Interpersonal skills are important because floral designers often work directly with customers on their projects; this means having patience when explaining what goes into making certain types of arrangements or why certain elements won't work together well visually. Floral artists also need good communication skills so they can relay instructions clearly when working with other employees such as florists or delivery drivers who may not understand exactly what type of arrangement needs delivering where without some guidance! Floral designers are also responsible for keeping their own work areas clean and organized so that they can quickly [...]
