The Florté Review: Dried and Preserved Flowers, Now at Dempsey (2026)
For people who resent watching a bouquet die
The Florté has been running since 2017 and built its name on dried and preserved flowers rather than fresh-cut, in a modern botanical style: bloom boxes, bouquets and table vases. The proposition is straightforward — a preserved arrangement holds for a long time where a fresh bouquet is finished in a week — and it is the reason to choose them over a conventional florist. Note that it has moved: the studio is now on Dempsey Road, not Tagore Lane as previously listed.
you want an arrangement that lasts, or you are buying a gift that should still be there in six months.
you specifically want fresh-cut stems, which is not what the studio is built around.
| Service | Price |
|---|---|
| Dried and preserved bouquets | Priced per arrangement |
| Gracious You bouquet | From around $165 |
| Bloom boxes | Priced per arrangement |
| Table vases | Priced per arrangement |
Is The worth it? The math
From around $165 a bouquet is well above a fresh-cut equivalent, and the arithmetic only works if you value duration. A fresh bouquet at a third of the price is gone in a week; a preserved arrangement at $165 sits on the table for months. Per week of flowers on display, preserved is usually the cheaper option, which is the case the studio is implicitly making and the reason its customers repeat.

Good to know
What customers actually say
Longevity is what customers write about, and it is the whole point: reviews mentioning arrangements still looking good months later are the most common kind. Presentation and packaging come up for gifting. The caveat is price, which is high against fresh-cut and is the source of most of the lower ratings, usually from buyers who had not registered that preserved flowers cost more up front.
