Five weeks shy of spring, and flowers are already a-bloomin’ in Cowtown — behind the glass doors of flower shops, that is. This can only mean one thing: We’re approaching Valentine’s Day, the most popular flower-buying day of the year that, inconveniently, happens in the dead of winter.
While many take the drama-free route of ordering their loved-ones’ bouquets well in advance, we suspect a large portion of Fort Worthians don’t have such foresight. For those in this latter camp, we’ll remind you Feb. 14 is right around the corner, and it’s best not to assume those fragrant flowers will miraculously break free from their chilled enclosures and hop into the passenger seat on your commute home.
But don’t fret, we’re here to help you snag an impressive floral arrangement and avoid a reprise of the St. Valentine’s Day Massacre — we kid, of course. Below, you’ll find a roundup of West Fort Worth spots where you can secure a sweet-smelling bouquet for your better half.
The Flower Market On 7th
DIY projects often take shape in cluttered garages, back porch patios, and aging-tile bathrooms — but they can also unfold in the crisp aisles of a floral shop. The Flower Market in West 7th offers just that: an opportunity to make your shopping experience more personal by handpicking the pieces that will go into your arrangement.
BYOV (bring your own vase) is encouraged, though not required, as the shop also offers a handsome selection of vessels. Once you’ve selected your stems, with guidance from a professional hand if needed, you can head to a design table to craft your own bouquet or vase arrangement. And if DIY isn’t your preferred style, The Flower Market on 7th also provides arranging and wrapping services with advance notice.
This Valentine’s Day, the shop’s collection includes pre-made bouquets like Classic Roses, Lady in Red, Cupid, Love Potion, Cloud Dancer, and Femme Fatale, spanning soft lilac hues to vibrant golden tones. But the cooler is still open for those who prefer to make their own personalized picks.

Gordon Boswell Flowers
Gordon Boswell Flowers is something of an institution in the Near Southside. Founded by Gordon Boswell — go figure — in 1919, the shop met a newly-bustling hospital district’s need for a convenient florist. The business has remained in the family ever since.
Year-round, Gordon Boswell Flowers offers contemporary and luxury arrangements. And if the two fluffy felines that wove between my legs as I examined a particularly vibrant bundle are any indication, they are mindful of creating pet-friendly floral options as well.
This Valentine’s Day, expect a collection of romantic blooms, from vibrant roses to cheerful daisies.

Camellia Farm Flora
Located downtown, Camellia Farm Flora brings fresh arrangements to the city’s central core. The shop is full-service but specializes in weddings and, by obvious extension, Valentine’s Day. Fostering a farm-to-table aesthetic, the florist leans into seasonal blooms and designs.
This Valentine’s Day, its collection features nearly 30 arrangements, most available for next-day delivery, including classic options like Love of My Life, We’ll Always Have Paris, and Garden Bloom Two Dozen Roses, as well as softer selections such as Pretty in Pink and Moon and Stars.
For downtown shoppers in need of a last-minute save, Camellia Farm Flora is both convenient and crafty.

Fort Worth Florist
In season two, episode seven of the hit TV series “Landman,” character Cooper Norris stops by a flower shop to pick up roses for Ariana Medina. While the storefront sign reads “Midland Florist” on screen, the scene was actually filmed right here in town at Fort Worth Florist.
Although visiting the store to see the location’s televised appearance is certainly understandable, the shop’s long résumé of dedication to the city in floral arrangements is an even more compelling reason to stop by — especially around this time of year.
Arrangements at the shop include a mix of traditional roses, seasonal blooms, and a variety of bouquet styles, giving shoppers plenty of options to suit any occasion. For Valentine’s Day, the shop offers classic red roses to colorful seasonal blooms and mixed bouquets, with featured arrangements spanning six-rose posies to 100-rose statements.

Leons Floral
In a recent interview with CBS News, Leons Floral co-owner Stephanie Leon called this time of year “the Superbowl for floral shops.” And, like a football squad’s on-field preparation, Fort Worth florists have been putting in the work — just on a smaller scale and not as broadcasted.
At Leons Floral, this means preparing Ecuador-shipped bundles and other seasonal blooms since December. And now that Valentine’s Day has arrived, they’re offering a range of bouquets from elegant rose arrangements to mixed seasonal designs, including options like multi‑stem roses, romantic posies, and fuller bouquets. Orders are available for pickup or local delivery, providing the perfect opportunity to swoop in and pick out yours.

TCU Florist
Count the fingers on your hand and multiply by a billion. That’s roughly how many flowers TCU Florist has sent out into the world — give or take a few million. With more than 70 years in business, the Fort Worth mainstay has had plenty of time to perfect the art of floristry.
Located just steps from TCU grounds, this campus-adjacent cornerstone has catered to heartbroken students, wedding-bound brides, and this week, Valentine’s Day celebrants. Whether you’re opting for something understated or making a grand romantic gesture, TCU Florist provides both pickup and delivery options for arrangements with your preferred greenery and thoughtfully paired blossoms — and your dearly beloved will only see the flowers, not the mad dash to get there.
