Florists
Wauwatosa is home to a variety of florists who bring color and creativity to every arrangement. From celebration and wedding bouquets to sympathy or just-because flowers, we have the florist for you.
The Flower Lady
The Flower Lady on Harwood Avenue offers hand-crafted arrangements with a personal touch. This local, women-owned shop specializes in seasonal designs and prides itself on sourcing unique flowers that aren’t always found in chain stores. The friendly staff are happy to help with last-minute gifts—that go beyond flower arrangements—or special event planning, including weddings.
Alfa Flower & Wedding Shop
As the name implies, Alfa Flower & Wedding Shop also provides wedding services for customers. Located along North Avenue, Alfa Flower provides arrangements and floral décor for any occasion. The shop also provides rental items, custom invitations, and signage for your event.
Floral Events
Wauwatosa celebrates flowers throughout the year. However, it truly blooms in spring. Check our calendar of events for dates and event details.
BONUS: Tosa Farmers Market
Held every Saturday from 8 a.m. to noon from spring through fall in the Harts Mills parking lot, the Tosa Farmers Market isn’t just for produce. Local growers and florists set up booths offering fresh-cut flowers and potted plants. It’s the perfect place to grab a vibrant bouquet or discover a new favorite.
Wildflowers
Wauwatosa’s natural beauty extends beyond curated gardens and floral boutiques. The trails at the Menomonee River Parkway and the Milwaukee County Grounds are home to colorful displays of wildflowers during the warmer months. From vibrant coneflowers to delicate trilliums, these trails offer a chance to see nature’s artistry up close. It’s a serene, ever-changing canvas that makes a simple walk feel like a botanical adventure.
