Two Sisters Have the Perfect Valentine’s Day Gift for You

Call it sibling intuition. But when the idea for hip and artsy Ohio City florist shop Lush & Lovely first bloomed in the minds of sisters Brooke Witt and Brianna Jones last spring, neither knew the other also dreamed of a floral business. “The visions that we had were so similar,” says Jones. “We had never even talked about it.” The creative, design-oriented flower shop takes bouquets beyond the expected dozen red roses into more artistic territory. Using foliage such as silver dollar eucalyptus and rosemary, and flowers such as anemones, peonies and cockscombs, Lush & Lovely’s $20 hand-tied bouquets deliver a sense of wild fun no cookie-cutter Valentine’s Day arrangement could. “We like to pick really interesting things,” says Witt. “We’re not florists. We’re creative, and we pick the flower for the color, line, shape and texture.” 3408 Bridge Ave., Cleveland, 216-961-3600,
