Ramkrishnan Flower Decorators

You can find us over at number 20 in Matunga. It’s a busy area and we’ve been part of it for a long time. We aren’t a typical flower shop with a big glass front. We focus more on the decorating side of things, so there is usually a lot of activity going on inside. Boxes of flowers come in, and then we work on getting them ready for whatever job we have that day. Matunga has a certain rhythm to it, and we are right in the thick of it. We don't have a lot of staff, so everyone does a bit of everything, from unloading the trucks to arranging the displays. It gets pretty chaotic during festival seasons or when there are a lot of weddings happening nearby. We just keep our heads down and get the work done. The shop usually smells like lilies or jasmine, depending on what we have in stock. We don’t spend much time on fancy advertising or anything like that. People mostly know us because they’ve seen our work at local events or they live around the corner. It’s a humble place, honestly. We have a few old tables we work on and some buckets that have seen better days. But they work fine for what we need. We just like staying busy and making sure the flowers look okay before they go out.
