An Introduction To Us

Welcome to the official blog for Hummingbird Floral and Gift!  If you want beautiful posts of weddings and the flowers we provide for them, insider posts about the flower business and how it works, or even suggestions for new products and gift ideas, you've come to the right place.

First things first: we want to introduce ourselves.

Summer is in full effect out front

 Hummingbird Floral & Gifts is an all service floral and gift store located in Shoreview, Minnesota.  We provide arrangements and floral services to not just the surrounding communities but locations throughout the state and the country.  Not only do we pride ourselves on the high quality flowers that go into your arrangements and bouquets, but we also find the most unique boutique-style gifts to offer in our spacious store, from artisan jams to jewelry, cards, and even handmade lamps.  Here's a little more of what we do.

Flowers:  We know how much a great arrangement can mean to a wedding, funeral, anniversary, birthday, even prom!  That's why we offer a wide array of flowers that will suit any occasion.  Designers work with customers to create one of a kind pieces that fit any budget. We make sure your flowers are of the highest quality by sourcing flowers locally and by maintaining the cold chain (more on that later) from the grower to our shop.

Gifts:  Alongside the floral aspect of our business, we dedicate time into finding products that can't be found anywhere else.  Whether it be an intricate Lifetime candle that will burn for years, or a stunning hand blown Kitras glass ornament, we make sure every product we offer is something we would put in our own homes.

Now, on to the blog!  We want this blog to highlight things we love.  Expect posts about recent events we have made arrangements for, such as weddings or parties, and get ideas on what kind of flowers you want for your next special occasion.  We will spotlight trends in flowers (like which ones people are decorating cakes with!) and the behind the scenes looks at the flower industry and those who work in it.  Finally, we will let you know what products we are loving at the moment, and more about the companies who make them.

But that's not all!  What do you want to see?  Maybe you're curious about how many different arrangements are used in a wedding.  Or what scents and essential oils are best for a friend that needs to relax more.  Or maybe you just want to see what flowers we have in the cooler.  Let us know in a comment below and we'll get back to you.

Last thing: this blog will be updated weekly!  Check back every Tuesday for a new post.  In the meantime, check us out on facebook and instagram.
