The Art of Floristry

Proudly made in Malaysia, Nook Flowers celebrates the art of bespoke

and luxurious floristry. We are a small business that strives to design arrangements that are personal to your sentiments. Our talented, passionate and knowledgeable floristas create floral art with local flowers as our first choice, but we love working with any and all flowers. Everything is hand crafted to order. We care deeply about the environment and are committed to conducting our business in harmony with nature. To us the emphasis is flora - full of colour, texture and vibrant in themselves; the packaging is secondary and should never detract from the flowers.

This is why most of our bouquets are wrapped in the most minimalist of ways, or why we choose foam-free arrangements wherever possible. We encourage customers to bring in their upcycled containers and we opt for natural packaging. Not the easiest of routes but we try hard to walk the talk on this. Cited by Her World Malaysia as one of the Top 10 floral services providers in Kuala Lumpur. We believe in magic - the floral kind.

Blooming Unicorns

"Do you know, I always thought unicorns were fabulous monsters, too? I never saw one alive before!" 

"Well, now that we have seen each other," said the unicorn, "if you’ll believe in me, I’ll believe in you." 

– Lewis Carroll; Through the Looking Glass 

Yes, you read that right. We have unicorns ... and we're pairing these mythical magical creatures with our other adored passion - succulents! 

Meet the Blooming Unicorns and get to know the personalities: 

PETUNIA

Petunia loves to read. She’s a bibliophile with an ever growing collection of books for her bookshelves. Her idea of paradise is a library that’s open 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and serves coffee! Petunia is also a hopeless romantic and the sight of old couples who hold hands while walking makes her smile.

DAISY

Daisy loves to travel. Her favourite past time is to pour over maps researching new travel destinations. She has an old gypsy soul and loves sharing adventure stories with her niece and nephew. Daisy collects postcards from vibrant cities located all over the world. Don’t forget to send her one the next time the travel bug bites you.

LIZZIE

Lizzie is a music lover. She believes in music the way some people believe in fairy tales. Never a dull moment around Lizzie as she’s always breaking out in song! She recently started playing the cello and every Friday evening, although nervous, she performs at the little park around the corner. If you’re ever in the neighbourhood drop by.

Stay tuned, new characters will be introduced periodically. Rm39.90 per pot (excluding delivery) and comes with a description card. Call 6014 368 1044 to order. Pre-orders encouraged.
