Don’t run the risk of last-minute supermarket flowers—bookmark these independent floral designers in KL for thoughtful, design-led floral arrangements
Don't let the cynics put you off. Flowers for Valentine’s Day are a timeless and time-honoured tradition, especially if you do the right thing and look to independent artisans in the field for beautiful, creative arrangements. Forget the standard dozen roses—with the abundance of floral talent in Malaysia right now, there’s every opportunity to find flowers and foliage that speak to your intended recipient’s personality and aesthetic. That could be a bold, dramatic floral centrepiece, or it could be a rustic handtied posie—the options are endless, and endlessly customisable.

Flawer Studio
For floral arrangements that look like a living sculpture, your first port of call should be Flawer Studio. The studio has a distinct flair for the dramatic, which makes itself known in towering installations and sculptural arrangements that place just as much emphasis on beautiful foliage and greens as it does on the flowers themselves.
Daun & Petals
Daun & Petals received the ultimate nod recently when they provided the florals for Ezzati Amira’s wedding, with a lush, fantastical backdrop and a simple but dramatic bouquet. Their style is bold but romantic, with a focus on creating shapes and movement.
Saudagar General Store
Saudagar General Store’s arrangements are joyful explosions of colour. Their work highlights uniquely shaped buds, leaves and branches, with a judicious use of ribbons, fronds and layers to create movement. Above all, Saudagar’s arrangements are characterised by a bold confidence with colour—even in a greens-only arrangement.
Lulea
Lulea’s floral compositions are a contemporary take on the traditional bouquet—still offering plenty of softness and fullness, with a modern twist of asymmetry. The arrangements can go artistic and textured or soft and romantic, but always with a signature base of colourful contrast.
May in December
May in December’s style is pared back and rustic, with the effect of flowers freshly gathered from the garden. These are flowers for those who favour an organic look to their bouquets, rather than anything too artful or composed.
Maison Dianthus
Celebrity favourite Maison Dianthus has an instantly recognisable style—floral arrangements that are full, luxurious and abundant. Dianthus has a way with peonies and hydrangeas, combining big blowsy blooms with delicate sprays for a look that is always beautiful and impactful.
Scentales
We're not sure what sparked Scentales' fascination with mermaid-themed bouquets, but we're loving it all the same. This florist's Valentine's Day special is none other than the Mermaid Bouquet (pictured above), made with blue-hued preserved flowers and other pastel combinations inspired by the mythical undersea world.

As the brand name suggests, bridal bouquets are a specialty of this florist's. The Vow Floral's Cappuccino rose bouquets and blue-themed arrangements are also exquisite; we're particularly tickled about the fresh flower money bouquet that's bursting with coloured chrysanthemums, roses and—you guessed it—the familiar purple of RM100 notes.
