Inside Chappell's Florist: A Tradition of Floral Excellence in Vermont
28th May 2025
Walk into Chappell's Florist Burlington, VT, and you'll see it's not just another spot to grab a bouquet. It's where decades of floral know-how meet bold design choices, where local charm gets paired with seriously good stems. This is where Burlington and South Burlington turn when they want flowers that make a statement.
From classic arrangements with a twist to seasonal picks that surprise you, our florist shop blends tradition with fresh energy. The vibe is creative, the designs are intentional, and the flowers are always on point.
The Chappell's Florist Legacy
When a flower shop has been doing its thing for over 50 years, it's doing more than keeping up—it's leading the way. That's exactly the case with Chappell's Florist, a name that's been woven into Burlington's daily life for generations.
We started out as a neighborhood shop and now we've grown into a floral fixture, known not just for beautiful bouquets, but for the kind of friendly care that turns customers into loyal regulars.
Along the way, Chappell's has earned its share of praise. We've been voted Burlington's Favorite Florist multiple times. While it's flattering, it's also proof that what we're doing still resonates.
Artistry Behind Every Arrangement
At Chappell's Florist, design is deliberate. Every arrangement we make balances texture, movement, and structure to create something that feels polished without being stiff. We love layering color, shape, and space so the whole piece feels alive.
We also care deeply about freshness and longevity. The goal is a bouquet that looks great in the shop and still looks great days later in your home. We're careful with what we choose and how we handle every stem from the moment it arrives at the store.
You don't need to know design lingo or have a florist on speed dial. Just bring us your idea or even just a feeling, and we'll turn it into something that looks gorgeous. Simple as that.
Vermont Recycles Flowers
We love a good bouquet moment, but what happens after the event matters, too. We're proud to be part of the Vermont Recycles Flowers program, a local initiative that takes gently used arrangements and gives them new life in nursing homes, hospitals, and other community spaces.
The program gives flowers another chance to brighten someone's day. At Chappell's Florist, we handle the repurposing process with just as much care as our original orders. Every stem is refreshed, reimagined, and delivered with purpose.
If you've ever wondered what happens behind the scenes after a big event, this is it. It's one small way we stay connected to our community and make sure that beauty keeps going long after the first delivery is made.
(For more information on how to support or participate, just give us a call—we're always happy to talk about what matters.)
Beautiful Custom Arrangements
No two events deserve the same arrangement. We treat every custom order as if it has its own personality. We build everything from scratch for special occasions, like weddings or conferences, and always with your vision in mind (even if your vision is "I have no idea—help").
We've created floral installations that transformed simple spots into exciting venues, surprised longtime customers with anniversary recreations, and handled last-minute Friday morning rushes like it was no big deal. Our same-day flower delivery has saved more than a few forgotten birthdays, and we're not naming names, but you know who you are.
Designed to Flow with the Seasons
Around here, the seasons change and take over. We lean into that. Our designs shift with the calendar, from soft spring palettes to bold fall textures and everything in between. It's what's blooming and what feels right for the time of year.
We stock a rotating lineup of flowers and plants that match Vermont's mood, whether it's winter whites, fresh summer color, or cozy autumn tones. Our team stays on top of what's in season and what's going to look best in your space or surprise someone in theirs. It keeps things fresh, interesting, and completely in tune with where we are and when.
Continuing the Tradition
We've been doing this for a long time, and we still love showing up every day to do it well. Chappell's Florist is as committed now as ever to creating designs that feel personal, thoughtful, and worth remembering. Our roots in the community run deep, and so does our passion for great flowers.
