Royal Flower Shoppe of Gina Galang started out as a cutflower supplier way back in the early 90’s. This helped the owners establish a solid technical know-how on flower-shop operations. They eventually created numerous contacts with hotels, clubhouses and corporate accounts providing regular event floral requirements.

With the support of her husband, Raymond Galang, Gina is looking forward to new career heights by investing in product research and development. “In this kind of business, it is a must that ROYAL FLOWER SHOPPE be updated with current trends and to establish its own look – from colors, innovative materials, fabrics and props – so as to have an improved product line. Brides are now becoming more and more particular with wedding preparations and it is imperative that we are able to meet and exceed what they would normally expect – from the wide choices of flowers mostly shipped from abroad and locally-grown Class A flowers to the appropriate ceiling swag and backdrop treatments – all these the shop can provide,” Gina explains.
