Say It With Flowers, Houston

Amid the staccato snips of clippers and the scents of lilies and daisies, Laura Platas and her team of floral artists arrange fresh bouquets. A catalog of premade designs serves as a jumping-off point for custom arrangements, which clients can personalize with baby’s breath, roses, and tufts of ferns. Displayed in selections from a range of vases, the colorful bundles are ideal for birthdays, anniversaries, and attempts to distract bees from rude pamphlets about their queen. The florists, who speak English and Spanish, also specialize in event decorations and wedding arrangements.
