Tucker Floral

Located in the heart of the Business District in Downtown Lubbock, Andrew Tucker, owner and head florist at Tucker Floral, manifests love, connection and community through floral art and arrangements. With nearly two decades of design experience from flower shops across the city, and strong relationships with the Lubbock community, Tucker set out on his own venture opening Tucker Floral in 2019.

Initially located in the long-time downtown Lubbock business, Jux-ta-Posh, The Tucker Floral team soon transitioned to a larger space on Avenue J. Tucker says the proximity to the Marsha Sharp Freeway allows for better access to a strong, new clientele and promotes thriving business relationships with wedding couples and college students alike, as well as partners purchasing flowers for their loved ones.

“Flowers are what I live for. I love being able to design and create something organically beautiful. to celebrate life’s achievements,” Tucker said.

Cultivating a culture in line with Lubbock’s small-town values, Tucker believes the soul of his small business lies in the relationships he has fostered through flowers.

“We may be small, but we have a big business heart,” he said. “I’ve created relationships that I cherish because of my business. Some of my clientele I’ve been friends with for over 15 years. I’ve done multiple weddings within family groups, anniversaries, and even their children’s birth. I’ve been blessed to be a part of family events considered only for families because of the close friendships I’ve come to know. My goal isn’t just to sell flowers and arrangements, it’s to retain relationships after the party.”

Located just blocks from the Downtown Lubbock Arts District, Tucker Floral has found community through a likeminded approach to embracing art and culture with other creatives in the area. He attributes the strength of both the city of Lubbock and its robust arts community to the welcoming nature of all artisans.

“I love the sense of community that can be easily built here. You don’t ever feel alone; everyone knows everyone,” he said. “I can walk to the store and am almost guaranteed to see someone I know or walk to the salon to make coffee and conversation. It’s what makes Lubbock, Lubbock.”

On top of creating relationships and challenging himself creatively with new floral designs and techniques, Tucker has opened his creative wheelhouse to include wood and metalworking to create custom fixtures for his clientele including iron stands for stages and weddings.

“I love how everything changes with each event,” he said. “It allows me to come up with new creative and expressive works of art each time. A theme may be similar, but no two events are ever the same. There are an uncountable number of flowers in the world and even more ways to use them. Whether creating a crescent moon out of roses for a photoshoot or bouquet for a bride, floral design allows me to be creative in ever-changing and enjoyable ways every day.”

Learning new skills and sharing them with the young minds in his shop is a priority for Tucker as he says it is “fulfilling to see when the ones I teach are able to go out and succeed for themselves.”

Tucker Floral’s intimate team of five designated designers, with an additional seven helping hands when needed, have created a family-like culture that is reflected in the fun-loving, beautiful design work offered to each customer.

“We enjoy what we do, and all our products are made beautifully and efficiently as a result,” he shared.

When asked what is next for Tucker Floral, Tucker says he plans on continuing to build relationships with the community while offering excellent service at a quality that exceeds all expectations.
