Samuel Franklin

A quarter century of saying it, beautifully, with flowers. Samuel Franklin is a family-owned floral shop with a reputation for imaginative floral arrangements, detailed event planning and expressive interior design. All these services are offered in a way that fits with your schedule, your budget and your particular needs. Samuel Franklin owner Sam George started in business as a delivery person, opening his first floral shop in 1982. “One of the main things I learned,” he says, “is to listen. And we do that well.” So, whether it’s planning a wedding reception (generally about 150 each year) or refurbishing a century-old home, Sam and his staff respond with enthusiasm.

“We’ve had to teach ourselves how to do things.” And those things have included designing giant sets for theme balls, ordering bride-requested flowers from Italy or “engulfing” a chandelier in flowers and prisms. Whatever the assignment, “We listen, we imagine it, we make it cost effective,” says Sam George.
