Cathy Turpin
I've been in the flower business for over 40 years. After helping my husband run Turpin's Florist for 37 years and taking a short break, we opened Julian's Flowers in 2016 in honor of Jay's father, Julian. Looking forward to the future and adding many more chapters to my life in flowers!!!

About Julian's Flowers
For nearly a century, the Turpin family has been a trusted name in the floral industry, providing fresh flowers and exceptional floral services throughout Norfolk, Virginia, and the surrounding Hampton Roads communities. Founded by Martha Turpin in downtown Norfolk during the late 1920s, the family's passion for flowers, quality craftsmanship, and outstanding customer service has been passed down through generations.During the 1950s, Walter Turpin and his son, Julian, operated Turpin's Nursery, supplying premium fresh-cut flowers to leading wholesalers throughout the region. In 1959, Julian and his wife Laura purchased Alice Blair Florist in Southern Shopping Center, where they built a reputation as one of Norfolk's most respected local florists, known for beautiful floral arrangements, wedding flowers, sympathy flowers, anniversary bouquets, and special occasion flower delivery.
After Julian's retirement in 1976, his son Jay (Julian Jr.) proudly continued the family tradition, serving customers with high-quality flowers and personalized floral designs for decades. Today, Julian's Flowers carries on that legacy as a trusted online florist offering convenient flower delivery throughout Norfolk, Virginia Beach, Chesapeake, Portsmouth, and surrounding areas. While operating without a traditional storefront, Julian's Flowers provides the same exceptional floral services customers have relied on for generations, including same-day flower delivery, birthday flowers, funeral flowers, wedding arrangements, holiday flowers, and custom bouquets designed with the freshest blooms available.
Following the passing of Jay Turpin in 2020, his wife Cathy and daughters Bailey and Jessie committed themselves to preserving the family's longstanding tradition of excellence. Together, they continue to honor the legacy of Martha, Walter, Laura, Julian, and Jay Turpin by creating stunning floral arrangements and delivering beautiful flowers that help customers celebrate life's most meaningful moments. As a family-owned and operated Norfolk florist, Julian's Flowers remains dedicated to providing fresh flowers, reliable flower delivery, and exceptional customer care throughout the Hampton Roads region.
