We don't deliver flowers. We pull up, throw open the doors, and turn an ordinary afternoon into something people photograph for years.

Our Story

Four decades of blooms & dirt.

Steve Ornstein spent 40 years restoring vintage cars and another lifetime growing things that bloom. The VW Blooming Bus is where those two obsessions finally collided.

What started in 1976 as a passion for floral design has grown into something you can drive — a 1979 Volkswagen that rolls up to farmer's markets, wedding venues, and corporate campuses across the DC Metro, fully loaded with hand-selected seasonal flowers.

The bus itself transforms from a mobile flower shop into a photo backdrop. Guests build their own bouquets surrounded by greenery, or simply stop by and take something beautiful home.

Four ways the bus shows up — from a single Saturday pop-up to a full wedding install.

Kind Words
"The bus was the highlight of our wedding. Guests spent half the night making bouquets and taking photos. Three months later, people are still asking about it."
Rachel Castillo  —  October Wedding, Bethesda
"We've used the VW Blooming Bus for three corporate events now. It's the first thing people mention in their feedback surveys. The flowers are stunning and Steve's team is genuinely wonderful to work with."
Tomás Navarro — Events Director, Meridian Partners
