✿ WHAT WE DO
A single rule:
seasonal or nothing.
Josephine opened the shop in April 2014 after seven years at the farmers' market. The rule from day one was simple: if it's not in season within 300 miles of New York, we don't sell it. That means no tulips in August, no peonies in November, and yes, sometimes the bouquets are a bit odd in February (we go deep on branches and dried alliums).
In peak season we visit the 28th Street flower market three mornings a week, plus pickups from twelve flower farms across the Hudson Valley and Long Island. Everything is arranged that day, by hand, in the studio at the back of the shop. Delivery is on foot (Brooklyn) or by our electric cargo bike (Manhattan).
- Farms we work with include Saipua (LI), Crescent Moon (Catskill), Wild Root (Rhinebeck), Fresh Cut (Westchester) — 12 in total.
- Never sourced: roses from Ecuador/Colombia · baby's breath · carnations · dyed anything · "preserved" eucalyptus.
- Always sourced: peonies in late May, dahlias from July, anemones in February, ranunculus March–May.
- The team: Josephine (founder, 22 yrs), Mariana Torres (head florist, 8 yrs), Leo Chen (designer, 5 yrs), Soraya Gulbahar (apprentice, 2 yrs).

Install dayJosephine + Mariana + 2 assistants on site. Everything arranged that morning at the venue. We break down after the party.
"Josephine quoted us $6,400 when every other florist we talked to was quoting $14K. On the day the flowers looked better than any of the $14K mood boards. My mother cried. I cried. The flowers were out of this world."
"We had Wildflower for our wedding in May 2024 and the centerpieces were so good my mother-in-law has tried to hire Josephine to do her living room twice."
"The peonies were the exact right shade. I'm still thinking about them. It's March 2026 now."

✿ QUESTIONS
What to know
before you order.
What time do I need to order for same-day?
Order by 11:00am ET. Josephine starts the day's arrangements at 11:15 after unpacking the market. After 11am orders go out the next delivery day. Sunday and Monday we don't deliver (we rest), but you can pick up from the shop on Sunday 10–4.
Where do you deliver?
All of Brooklyn (free over $80), all of Manhattan below 110th (free over $100), Long Island City, and DUMBO. Outside those zones we'll quote a cab or messenger — usually $25–45. We do not ship.
Can I request specific flowers?
Yes, as long as they're in season in the Northeast. You can also write "Mariana's choice" in the notes and she'll use her judgment (most people do). We won't substitute with anything not on our "always sourced" list without texting you first.
What if the recipient isn't home?
We leave the bouquet at the front door in a hydration tube for up to 4 hrs with the building super if they're friendly; otherwise we bring it back and redeliver the next day. We don't charge for redelivery if it's our mistake; $15 flat if it's a bad address.
Do you do corporate accounts?
Yes. About 12% of our business is 28 small offices on monthly retainer. We invoice NET-14, COI on request, and handle seasonal events (launches, parties, client gifts). Email hello@tilkly.com and Josephine will reply by end of day.
How long do the flowers last?
Properly trimmed and re-cut every 2 days, 8–10 days for the studio bouquet. Peonies are 3–4 days (their nature). Ranunculus 6–7. Dahlias 5. We include a handwritten care card in every order; Mariana is strict about cold water and a clean vase.
