Flor Keeps: A lasting memory from my Austin birthday trip
There’s something special about bringing a piece of a trip home with you. I’m usually not sentimental, but for a recent trip, I wanted something personal that would remind me of the memories and moments I cherish. On my recent birthday weekend in Austin, I discovered Flor Keeps, a boutique flower shop that blends sustainability, beauty, and artistry. This visit turned into one of the most memorable stops of my trip.
If you’ve read my blog post, 48 Hours in Austin: Mediterranean Food, Lake House Cocktails, and RnB Vibes, you already know how much I packed into my birthday weekend. Among all the fun and food, I wanted to take home something lasting to remember the trip by, and Flor Keeps delivered beyond expectations.
Aesthetics and an aromatic scene
The moment I stepped into Flor Keeps, I was struck by its serene and artful atmosphere. The aesthetics were stunning with elegant displays and a warm welcoming vibe. And the smell? So good! The air was filled with a subtle, natural floral fragrance that instantly set a nice, relaxing vibe.
The shop features a range of pre-made bouquets, each beautifully curated, but they also give you the option to customize your own arrangement. I loved browsing the collections, admiring the creativity and thought behind each design. What really caught my eye was a collaboration piece between Flor Keeps and a nearby tattoo studio. The bouquet itself was gorgeous, but the vase it came in was a work of art, blending floral and tattoo-inspired design. It was such a unique touch and a testament to Austin’s creative spirit.
A neutral keepsake for my home
After much back-and-forth, I walked away with a neutral-toned bouquet that perfectly matches my home’s aesthetic. What’s even better is that these arrangements are dried, meaning they’ll last for at least a year. It’s the perfect balance of beauty and practicality—and now, every time I see it, I’m reminded of my Austin birthday trip.
Why Flor Keeps is a must-visit
If you’re ever in Austin, Flor Keeps is a boutique worth visiting, whether you’re shopping for yourself or someone special. It’s more than just a flower shop. It’s a space that celebrates creativity, sustainability, and the beauty of preserving memories. My bouquet isn’t just décor; it’s a lasting token of a weekend filled with good vibes, great company, and unforgettable experiences. So, if you’re looking for a unique way to hold onto a piece of your travels, stop by Flor Keeps.
