When it comes to expressing love for the people who matter most, there’s no better way to amplify that affection and thoughtfulness than through the act of giving.

This is where Florio Manila comes in. The premier designer-led floral studio in Santa Cruz, Manila, specializes in creating floriography-inspired bespoke bouquets that go beyond aesthetics, focusing instead on clients’ deeper and personal experiences and stories.

Celebrating special occasions and personal milestones deserves meaningful storytelling; a standard bouquet may come off as quite generic. Florio kicks it up a notch by catering to customers’ preferences, feelings, and personal touch. With Florio, the language of flowers gets a modern revival, hitting the right note that speaks through the studio’s artful bouquets.

It wouldn’t be complete without the minds behind it all. Florio is co-owned by the husband-and-wife duo of Myles Santos and Patricia Del Rosario-Santos, who also serves as the Lead Designer and Head Florist. Having trained at Lacy Bird Academy in Hong Kong, Patricia brings each client’s vision to life, translating their messages and sentiments into thoughtfully crafted floral arrangements.

With that, Florio has a thrilling lineup of offerings that customers can create through their meaningful arrangements, including bouquets, bridal packages, and their signature Floral Bar.

The primary offering in their lineup is their bespoke “floriography” bouquets, which give customers two options:

The Sentiment-Based Design allows the designer to create a bouquet that symbolizes the client’s intended message or sentiment.

The Client-Guided Design, on the other hand, features Florio’s single-stem variety menu, which serves as a “dictionary” that guides clients through each flower’s floriographical meaning. Clients can then select blooms that best represent and tell their own stories.
