Alia Flowers Information

Alia Flowers was founded by the late Alia Koleilat in Bahrain in 1978. A Lebanese national known for her creative streak, appreciation of beauty and compassionate nature, Alia loved art, fashion and antiques. Starting with its first branch in Adliya, Alia Flowers was one of the first businesses in what has today become one of Bahrain's liveliest districts, and today, this flagship store is positioned as a neighborhood landmark. As one of a handful of flower shops at the time, Alia Flowers' opening in Adliya introduced a new horticultural tradition in Bahrain. Today, the store with the whimsical window dressing and the tree growing out of its roof, is one of eight branches across Bahrain, taking care of the event and decorative needs of customers not only resident in Bahrain, but across the Gulf region, most notably Saudi Arabia and Qatar. At the helm of Alia Flowers growth and expansion since 2006 is Serene Darwish, Managing Director and daughter of the founder. Known for her eclectic style and eye for fashion, Serene's hands-on approach to the business has injected a 'boutique' feel into Alia Flowers' products, services and environment. Combining her parents' vision with her in-depth knowledge of Alia Flowers' customers and her fashion-forward philosophy, Serene's bold creativity has positioned the shop as a trend-setter that is always a step ahead in the market. Envisioning organic growth that spurs from the established expertise and knowledge of the market, Serene is focused on evolving the business in line with customer demand. Alia Flowers continues to streamline operations and production, delivering on efficiency, while always maintaining the quality which has become synonymous with the brand. As Alia Flowers completes its transition to its next generation, it boasts Bahrain's highest quality florist services, a large customer base of individual and corporate clients, a delivery network that spans across Bahrain, and more importantly, a deep-rooted, unchanged philosophy of being a family-operated and oriented store that exudes the personality of friendliness, hominess and individual care-the very qualities for which Alia herself was known.
