Our Philosophy

Flowers speak louder than words

By channeling nature's unique voice, the Unlikely Florist (aka Spencer Falls) creates arrangements designed to inspire consciousness, question conformity, and stir the soul. 

NO ORDINARY FLORIST

A man, his truck, and a couple of stems

Raised in New Zealand, the son of a fine-artist and an orchardist, Spencer left home for California at age 17 for dreams of being an actor. In between gigs, he began itching for a creative outlet and on a whim, started selling hand-wrapped bouquets on Abbot Kinney out of his 1980 VW van, lovingly named Untho.


Today, The Unlikely Florist has moved from the streets of Abbot Kinney to a studio next door, and turned from a one-man show into a growing collective of artists inspired by the natural world, and the people living in it. 

It doesn’t take long to figure out that our flowers stand out from the crowd. We are a community first floral studio, focused on challenging flower norms with our heart on our sleeves.

Consciously sourced and intentionally arranged, our bouquets use rare flowers and take cues from the awe inspiring and sunny landscapes of parts unknown.

Who we are

Made by real people for real people

Ultimately, what we’re building is a community of vibrant and varied artists who believe in the power, spirit, and healing power of flowers. Call us rebels, rule breakers, vagabonds – we’ll take it. Just know that you’re in good hands.

Each arrangement is made fresh daily, to order, with you in mind.

An Actor turned Rebel Florist

The Unlikely Florist is a tool to nurture community, create a shift in our patterns of thought and consumption, and facilitate presence with nature. All inspired by a non-linear approach to creativity. A creativity that elevates performance, floristry, and anything in between.

Welcome to my celebration of nature and tribute to art of creativity.


Love,

Spencer
