Wedding season is upon us once again. These celebrations would not be complete without one thing: flowers. Whatever the theme of the wedding, flowers add something extra special to amp up the romantic mood on your big day. Other than weddings, flowers can also mark special occasions, like birthdays, Mother’s Day, Valentine’s Day, and the like.

We’ve asked ShoppersGuide where they get their favorite flowers. Read on to find out the top flower shops in the Philippines for 2017.

5. Rustan’s Flower Shop

Rustan’s Flower Shop carries a mix of local and imported flowers to come up with stylish bouquets and arrangements. They carry familiar blooms like roses, hydrangeas, carnation, orchids, and baby’s breath. They also have less common varieties like lisianthus, snap dragon, and Queen Anne lace. They also decorate with greens like fiddle-leaf figs or eucalyptus leaves.

For Christmas, they offer a themed holiday set-up for the home, while on summer they have made-to-order wreaths. Customers can have their flower arrangements wrapped in brown kraft paper, or in ceramic or clear vases. Rustan’s Flower Shop has seven branches in Manila.

4. Flora Vida (Makati)

One catch with cut flowers is that they only last a week or so. But one flower shop is vying to change this. Online flower shop Flora Vida Perennial Blooms by Marian specializes in preserved blooms which can last up to two years. The shop is actress Marian Rivera’s venture into the flower industry. Marian arranges the flowers herself after using techniques from flower arrangement lessons she took in Japan.

Customers can order a single rose, multi-toned roses, large preserved roses, or a dome of roses. These can come in a square or round vase, or a glass dome.

3. Farmers Garden (Quezon City)

Just across the famous Farmers Market in Cubao is Farmers Garden, a place which could excite any flower lover or home gardener. Farmers Garden is a home to a wide variety of cut flowers and potted plants. Here, one can find roses, hydrangeas, sunflowers, marigolds, zinnias, asters, and mums.

They also sell orchids like butterfly orchids, strap vandas, and cymbidium orchids. They even carry exotic plants such as Medinilla magnifica, Rangoon creeper, and passion fruit vines. Flowers sold here have lower prices compared to flower shops, making Farmers Garden a go-to place to buy blooms for any occasion.

In the Dangwa-Dimasalang area in Sampaloc, Metro Manila is the famous Dangwa Flower Market. Dubbed as the Bulaklakan ng Maynila (Flower Market of Manila), Dangwa is a major wholesale and retail market for all types of flowers. The market houses over 50 stalls with flowers sourced from nearby provinces like Baguio, Tagaytay, Batangas, Laguna, and even far away ones like Davao and Cotabato.

Opened in 1976, shoppers flock to the market due to its low prices, which can be as much as 50% to 90% percent cheaper compared to flower shops around the metro. The market shop is open 24/7.

1. Market! Market! (Taguig)
