Grand Rapids welcomes Niksi Home & Floral, a new floral shop founded by Nicole Ludema. After 11 years in the industry, she turns her passion into a reality just in time for Valentine’s Day. The shop showcases a colorful decor and offers a variety of floral arrangements, sourced from both local and international suppliers, while fostering community connections.
Exciting news is blooming in Grand Rapids! After spending 11 years in the flower industry, Nicole Ludema has finally realized her dream by opening a stunning new shop, Niksi Home & Floral, just in time for Valentine’s Day. This enchanting new venture is located at 121 Ionia Ave., right near Oakes Street, and is destined to become the go-to spot for flower lovers and home décor enthusiasts alike.
Believe it or not, Nicole’s journey into floristry began under the most chaotic of circumstances—prepping for her own wedding. Picture this: she pulled an all-nighter, crafting her flower arrangements just hours before tying the knot. This whirlwind experience ignited a passion for colors and flowers that has since turned into a flourishing career.
Nicole juggled her passion for floristry with her job as a registered nurse, making the leap from healthcare to flowers only after completing a rigorous apprenticeship. Not stopping there, she even helped her brother open a flower shop in Montana, gaining valuable experience along the way.
Two years ago, with determination and plenty of hustle, Nicole set her sights on opening her own store. Fast forward to today, and it’s become a reality with the grand opening of Niksi Home & Floral. This shop combines Nicole’s love for flowers and home accents, creating a delightful experience for anyone who enters.
Step inside Niksi Home & Floral and prepare to be dazzled! The shop boasts a whimsical decor that paints a picture of a colorful wonderland featuring bold peacock blue walls and adorable pink accents. Sections within the store are organized by different color palettes to help customers visualize how flowers will brighten up their homes. It’s all about creativity and inspiration!
Nicole specializes in colorful floral designs, sourcing blooms from sunny locales like California, Colombia, and Ecuador. When summer rolls around, local flowers take center stage, ensuring that the freshest options are available for her customers. Whether you’re in the market for ready-made bouquets or looking to order a custom floral arrangement, Niksi Home & Floral has got you covered.
At the heart of Niksi Home & Floral is Nicole’s desire to connect with the Grand Rapids community. She actively engages with customers, offering personalized design advice and love for floral arrangements. Nicole envisions her shop not just as a place to buy flowers but as a space where local residents can become familiar faces, sharing their stories and experiences.
What makes this shop even more special is its location. Niksi Home & Floral is nestled within a building that hosts the nonprofit Arts Marketplace at Studio Park, showcasing women- and minority-owned businesses. Nicole’s shop fills a significant gap in downtown Grand Rapids, adding a vibrant flair to the area and making it a bloom-filled paradise.
So if you’re in the vicinity, do yourself a favor and pay a visit to Niksi Home & Floral.
