About Us

Customer service and a “hands on” approach to business will always be our first priority.

Colonial Designs was founded by Ann and Maurice Brotzge on March 23, 1951 as a full service florist. Ann had worked as a designer at Harpers flower shop in Atlanta , GA as a young girl and was forever hooked on flowers and their beauty.

Three of the Brotzge children literally grew up in the business. Colonial flower shop was a true “Mom and Pop” operation. The shop in the front, their home in the back. Martha, Terry, and Joe knew flowers from day one.

In 1963, Colonial Designs moved to it’s present location at 3712 Lexington Road, where five children and all grandchildren have worked in some way over the years.

Over the years the shop has expanded and developed in size and inventory. Still a full service florist, Colonial Designs now carries a full line of upholstered and wood furniture, lamps, pictures, mirrors, custom silk arrangements and many unique gift ideas.

Ann and Maurice still come in the shop everyday while three of the Brotzge children, Martha Weinert, Terry Dayton, and Joe Brotzge, handle day to day operations. Amy, granddaughter to Ann and Maurice, works as a customer service manager.

Customer service and a family hands on approach to business is growing and developing daily.
