After a 5 mile run filled with shadow boxing to the Rocky Steps and back, my runners high led me to…read moreremembering that I'm the best boyfriend ever and that I should get my girlfriend some flowers to prove it. I whipped out my navy blue titanium Iphone 15 and viciously typed "flowers" into Apple Maps, and Walter Pine Floral Studio became the obvious choice. Yes, I use Apple Maps. Y'all still using Google Maps?! or God forbid... Waze!!? COULDN'T BE ME!!
After standing outside for a minute to catch my breath after my ELITE 9 min/mile pace, I entered. I was immediately struck with inspiration, as this is the most beautiful Floral Shop I have been in and I actually have been in a good amount of them for being a straight male ahahaha. I just couldn't stop smiling in there.
As I was standing there breathing heavily and smiling, one of the employees, Taylor, walked up to me with a bigger smile than I had on and asked if I needed help with anything. I told her I just wanted to get some flowers for my girlfriend and that she hated roses but loved tulips... She said "Awesome!" and brought me over to the bouquet station and gave me a little rundown on what she thought. She was so helpful, big up to Taylor!!
She said it would take about 5-10 minutes, and that Chloe would be the one putting the bouquet together. I was cool with that because honestly I wanted to look around, they had such a great selection of hand curated items including but not limited to cards, matches, candles, house plants, flowers, hanging plants, chocolate, ornaments, vases, pots, etc.
I ended up getting her matches (she loves matches), the boquet ($35), and a card that said "I am so glad you were born." It wasn't her birthday or nothin, but I am glad she was born ahahaha.
The bouquet ended up being BEAUTIFUL and my girlfriend absolutely loved it lol. Chloe did her mf THANG! She immediately put them in a vase and right on the table. I honestly wasn't the biggest fan of Tulips before, but they've grown on me. I think I just learned so much about the Tulip Mania in Econ class that I was off them...
FELLAS, WALTER PINE FLORAL STUDIO *IS* THE PLACE!
