Walk through the front door of Sweetwater Flower Market, dream you're in a field of fragrant lavender and feel all stress melt away.
Short on time? Pick up a grab & go bouquet and be on your way. Have a few minutes? Wander. Then, swing by the gorgeous Bouquet Bar and follow the instructions: 1. Choose your flowers. 2. Wrap with love. 3. Tie with a bow. 4. Take home and let love grow.
If flowers aren't your thing, check out the candles, soaps, sweet treats, hand creams and other items. Or take a class with friends. So much beauty and serenity here. Stop by and see for yourself – you can thank us later.
Sweetwater Flower Market is a fast-growing force in Colorado Springs. The first shop opened in Old Colorado City in March, followed recently by a second location near Interquest and Voyager in north Colorado Springs. They also have beautiful flower trucks that travel to events and make deliveries.
We caught up with owner Kristyn Cline, who explains why you should visit.
For folks who haven’t been there, what makes Sweetwater special?
It is an experience! We want every encounter to be one of sweetness – from the moment you walk through the door to the moment you leave. The staff, the products and the beautiful floral. We offer full floral and destination mercantile, so each visit you’ll find something new. In addition, we have flower trucks that allow you to share in the texture, while you create your own bouquet from the truck. Our flower trucks grace flower markets, weddings, events, bridal showers and birthday parties. Such joy and fun in a different way.
It’s almost Valentine’s Day. Why flowers?
Beauty comes in many forms, but flowers are unique like every love story. Sharing with someone how special they are is done well with flowers and the joy of the present can only bring smiles.
What arrangements and other gifts do you offer for Valentine’s Day and year round?
We offer many special gifts in our market store to celebrate the sweetness of Valentine’s Day, as well as Valentine’s wreath and bouquet classes. We also offer floral to fit all needs. We will have designer’s choice in three sizes or we will gladly create a palette all your own.
If a recipient has a favorite type of flower, can you customize an arrangement?
We love to make visions come to life, so we ask what they are looking for and what their favorite flower is. This way, we can help them build a perfect arrangement to fit the special occasion.
What do you offer in the way of weddings?
We offer a way to celebrate your special day with your visions in mind. We want to know who you are and about your special day so we can bring that to life. We offer all floral setup and tear down. We offer rehearsal dinner arrangements, bridal shower bouquet classes, flower trucks and so much more.
Can you give us a quick history of Sweetwater? How did you get into the flower business?
I went to Nashville in 2020 for some rest and relaxation and I found my rainbow – an inspiration I just knew Colorado needed. I returned home and created my vision: an interactive bouquet bar, buy-by-the-stem flower trucks and a unique mercantile destination. I knew this peace and joy would be so well received in this community.
You opened a second location in northern Colorado Springs in December. What made that the right spot for expansion?
We had to expand this joy to more locations and north seemed the perfect fit. To allow beauty in a high-growth area, but to emphasize weddings and the sweet brides who buy their dresses at Something New Boutique, which we are located under.
