After several lovely experiences of gorgeous bouquets delivered we asked Mercedes to make the arrangements for our wedding. After a week of snow storms, power outages, broken pipes, Mercedes delivered sunshine and flowers on the most beautiful day, EVA!!! I won’t buy flowers anywhere else.

OUR STORY Once upon a time in a place far, far away a woman named Mercedes Gaytan Cortazar designed beautiful floral arrangements for all her friends and family. Soon after, it became her passion along with caring for her three amazing children. As time went by, Mercedes decided to make a living out of her passion and Florería Mercedes opened its doors in the Mexican state of Chihuahua. Mercedes went on to become one Chihuahua’s premier florists. As she saw her children grow up, she hoped that one of them would carry on her legacy of what had become her very successful business; Mercedes Flowers. But as one became a poet, another, an actress, and her eldest, a ballerina, she feared her passion would not be carried on long after she was gone. But one day the ballerina, her eldest, who also happened to be her namesake, Mercedes Cortazar, began tying those ribbons and cutting the stems off of flowers and decorating as if she had been doing it all her life. Soon she opened her own business and her mother’s legacy, Mercedes Flowers lived on. After 35 years, Mercedes retired, leaving the trade that she loved so much. It seemed as though this time, Mercedes Flowers tradition would cease. However, in 2011, Mercedes' third daughter who also happened to be her namesake, Mercedes, decided to carry on the family tradition and bring it to the Austin community. After all, Austin had become home ever since the third generation Mercedes was a student at the University of Texas, where she earned a degree in broadcast journalism. Although it has been almost six decades and three generations since the original Mercedes Flowers (Floreria Mercedes) opened its doors in Chihuahua, Mexico, the tradition once again proudly lives on.
In some instances, the florists’ photo may represent an overall theme or look and include a one-of-a-kind vase which cannot be exactly replicated. Although the actual bouquet may not precisely match the photo, its temperament will. Occasionally, substitutions of flowers or containers happen due to weather, seasonality and market conditions which may affect availability. If this is the case with the gift you've selected, the local florist will ensure that the style, theme and color scheme of your arrangement is preserved and will only substitute items of equal or higher value.
