Bailey's Flowers & Gifts
Bailey's Flowers & Gifts is family owned and operated for over 30 years. Starting in 1978 as a craft and hobby shop, founder, Gloria Bailey ventured into fresh and silk flower designing in 1984. Since then, the growing business has been in various locations around the courthouse square in downtown Bedford. Being raised in the business, her daughter, Julie, took over the shop in April 1998 after the sudden passing of Gloria.
In the past 20 years, Bailey's Flowers & Gifts has grown into the premiere place in Bedford to buy or receive flowers! Voted Best Florist in Lawrence County EVERY year, they continue to bring high quality fresh flowers and the best customer service to Bedford year after year.
Our designers have over 60 years of combined experience. Call us with any questions or special requests!
Shopping local can have a powerful and beneficial impact not only on the people of your local community, but also on the natural environment and the economy as a whole. There are many reasons why people should support their local businesses and shop locally, including the following:
1. Supporting the Local Economy: Shopping locally encourages economic growth in your community and circulates money within your community. When you shop local, money is directly supporting businesses in your community, keeping jobs and tax revenue right in your area.
2. Supporting Your Community: Shopping locally also helps to strengthen the fabric of your local community. Local businesses are often more involved in their communities, such as by sponsoring community events, contributing to charities, and taking an active role in making the area a better place to live. Keeping business money in your community helps keep local leaders and decision makers accountable.
