About burton + BURTON In the small backroom of a wholesale florist, Maxine
Burton started a revolution . . .The year was 1982, and Maxine was working at
Flowers, Inc. Wholesale, a floral distributor co-owned by her husband, Bob.
Silver foil balloons had just been invented, and floral customers were
starting to request them. Maxine soon realized that the balloon imprinting
process could be used to print a message or design on a balloon, creating a
floating greeting card–a concept that would soon transform the floral industry
and lead her to found Flowers, Inc. Balloons. Her ingenuity has taken the
company from a backroom start-up to The World’s Largest Balloon and
Coordinating Gift Supplier. In 2006, Flowers, Inc. Balloons changed its name
to burton + BURTON to represent the extensive inventory of balloons, floral
supplies, coordinating gifts, and home décor the company offers. Some Things
Are More Important At burton + BURTON, we are always looking for ways to
provide more meaningful and sustainably sourced product offerings. What better
way to celebrate life's special moments than giving a gift that gives back? In
2018, we introduced the Weaving Hope project, which provides schools and
feeding programs for children in Rwanda through the sale of handmade baskets
crafted by a women's collective in the village of Gitarama. In addition to the
Weaving Hope collection of baskets and accessories, we are making a conscious
effort to design our products with a more sustainable and earth-friendly
intent. Our goal is to use up-cycled and/or recycled materials, as we take
pride in being a brand with purpose.
