Imagine a perfect online alternative to those unsightly flowers-by-phone you may have received once or twice. Now you can receive- and send- elegant, minimalist arrangements you would normally find from a chic floral designer for a fraction of the price- just a flat fee of $40 or $50 dollars including shipping. The Bouqs is a beautiful virtual shop and boutique based in Los Angeles, offering fresher and brighter flowers than other online companies that have been around for years. As a flower delivery service, The Bouqs founders John Tabis and Juan Pablo Montufar liaise with farms throughout South America to source organic, volcano soil-nourished stems that are cut and shipped the minute you order.
Eric Buterbaugh and Molly Simms
Tabis, a veteran of Shoe Dazzle and Disney, works with sustainable Equadorian farms for farm-to-home delivery which is why these beautiful bulbs are so well priced…and last longer. The company has received some impressive funding as this two year old start-up has bloomed with celebrities such as Jessica Alba, Molly Simms and other eco-friendly fans. Creative director David Plafchan- a senior copywriter at Deutsch LA- is helping out with their marketing strategy while florist-to-the-stars Eric Buterbaugh– that chic floral designer aforementioned- is chief floral designer. Buterbaugh has been operating out of the swanky Four Seasons Hotel in Beverly Hills for years and feels his collaboration with The Bouqs is an opportunity to bring his inspirations to a much wider audience. Flowers not only say I love you, they also brighten up a room even when its dimly lit for Valentine’s Day. www.thebouqs.com
