Cut at an Angle is a unique, fun, and whimsical floral experience in Downtown Concord.
Kirsten Darnell is carrying on the floral design tradition that runs in her family. Her grandparents were florists for over 50 years, and she worked in the back of their shop processing flowers when she was younger.
- The name of her shop comes from her grandpa who reminded her that step one of flower care is to always “cut the stem at an angle.”
Cut at an Angle is a full-service flower shop offering delivery services, flower arrangements, house plants, and floral installations for businesses and photo shoots. You can also purchase fresh flowers in bundles or single stems in the shop, as well as potted flowers, dried floral artwork, and floral pieces.
Learn more about Kristen’s journey and see samples of her fantasy floral creations.
