IN FULL BLOOM

LAST LOOK

Shop fresh and preserved flowers, which can last for one to two years, at Maison la Fleur.

A gorgeous arch of pastel-colored flowers hangs above the entryway of Aventura ParkSquare’s newest floral boutique, Maison la Fleur. Co-founded by Natalia Rousso and Eyyub Jafarov, the shop is an idyllic setting in which to purchase Europeanstyle bouquets—ones that are loose, organic, and asymmetrical—in addition to preserved flowers, which can last for up to two years. Most mesmerizing is the shop’s interior landscape consisting of a sakura tree
