After 134 years of bringing beauty, comfort, and celebration to Central Ohio, 5th Avenue Floral Co. has closed its doors. For generations, their shop was a part of life’s most meaningful moments — from wedding flowers and anniversaries to farewells and new beginnings. It’s hard to imagine Columbus without their iconic red neon sign or the deeply personal service they were known for. Their legacy is not just in flowers, but in the memories they helped create for thousands of families across decades.
Local flower shops are more than just places to buy flowers — they’re keepers of tradition, creativity, and connection. Unlike big-box retailers or faceless online services, shops like 5th Avenue Floral and Orchard Lane Flowers craft arrangements with heart and meaning. Every bouquet tells a story, designed not by algorithm but by hand, by someone who knows your name or your neighborhood.
These spaces are often run by families, artists, and dreamers who care deeply about the people they serve. They remember your anniversary, your wedding date, or what your mom’s favorite flower is. That kind of personalized care is disappearing fast — but in Columbus, we believe it still matters.
We at Orchard Lane Flowers were saddened to hear about the closing of 5th Avenue Floral recently. The Orchard Lane Flowers staff is happy, and excited to welcome all 5th Ave Floral Co.'s customers who are looking for a local flower shop to handle all of their flower needs in the future. Local flower shops are a dying breed in many communities. We are thrilled to keep the tradition alive and provide beautiful and personalized arrangements for Columbus. Shop local and skip the 1-800 order gatherers.
5th Avenue Floral Co. was part of the soul of this city. We stand with their team and their customers, honoring everything they built — and we invite you to visit us in Clintonville to see how we’re continuing the legacy of meaningful, artistic floral design.
