Tiger Lily Flowers

Tiger Lily by Encke is a relatively new project by Encke Flowers & Gifts, also of Teaneck, NJ - the oldest floral retail business in New Jersey. Tiger Lily's designers are first and foremost artists, coming to the trade out of different design backgrounds (fashion and graphic design). As a truly local flower shop, we believe in building longterm relationships with our customers. We come to flowers with a sculptural sensibility but we also understand the importance of helping people celebrate their lives' great events and rites of passage. We are privileged to participate in our community's customs, their celebrations, courtships and reconciliations, illnesses and mourning. We genuinely enjoy the role we play in our customers' lives, however fleeting or tangential. It has become a rare thing for artists to enjoy this kind of daily direct role in such intimate rituals. Tiger Lily by Encke is committed to the principles of environmental and economic sustainability, and the highest aesthetic standards in the industry. Our designs - even our Valentine's Day rose vases - are custom made by the finest designers in the region using organic and Fair Trade certified flowers. Our hand-tied bouquets - vintage European or utilizing Japanese handmade paper - are individual works of art made for each customer. Tiger Lily also carries a full line of Fair Trade certified jewelry, handbags, artisanal crafts, and even Fair Trade sports balls.
