• Don't let the name "hang in the air": it should become part of the business concept. Think about what the sign will be like, how the name can be played in the interior.
• Don't complicate. English-language names are rarely suitable for the flower business. Many people know that Fleur is translated as "flower". But if you are not in Paris, it is unlikely that your potential buyer will look for such a sign.

Variants of the names of flower shops in Russia

Marketers advise avoiding color names when naming: this is not only hackneyed, but sometimes confusing. So, "Chamomile" is associated with a kindergarten, and "Lotus" reminds of spa treatments.

We have compiled a list of flower shop names that you can use when naming:

• flower shop
• flower island
• A million petals
• flower workshop
• flower patio
• flower girl
• Flower number 7

The interior of the Flower Girl will be complemented by reproductions of flower sellers from the 19th and 20th centuries.
