The Best Portable Floral Cooler Solution for Florists:

If you’re a florist or flower farmer, you know how important it is to keep flowers fresh before a wedding, event, or delivery. A reliable floral cooler is essential—but traditional glass floral coolers and permanent walk in coolers are expensive, not portable, and take up a ton of space.


Rachel from Every Bloom Flowers (@every_bloom) is a small-scale flower farmer and beginner florist, and recently discovered our MEATLOCKER. It was a great solution to her need of a portable walk-in floral cooler setup that’s affordable, easy to use, and perfect for weddings and events.


The Floral Cooler Setup

Instead of investing in a heavy and costly floral cooler, she started using our pop-up cooler tent. It was originally designed as a portable meat cooler for hunters, but it works perfectly for flowers too.

Here’s why Rachel loves it:

  • Portable floral cooler: Her “studio” can now be anywhere she sets it up.

  • Consistent temperature control: It stays between 38–42°F, even when it’s 80°F outside. This is a perfect temperature range for keeping flowers fresh.

  • Space-saving design: The entire tent packs down when not in use.

  • Event-ready: Perfect for home-based wedding florists, pop-up shops, or on-farm flower storage.

It may not look as stylish as a glass-door floral cooler, but it makes up for it with convenience, affordability, and portability.


The *Florist Edition* Package

We created a special floral cooler package that’s a bit cheaper than the hunters’ version. This setup has everything florists need and nothing extra.

The Floral Cooler Kit includes:

  • An insulated, foldable cooler tent with a custom made cutout for an A/C duct and CoolBot mount.

  • A stainless steel table to support the A/C unit.


*The only additional purchases you’ll need to make are:

  • One of our recommended A/C units. (You can find these recommendations on our MEATLOCKER product page here)

  • A CoolBot device (this makes the A/C unit reach cooler temperatures).


Why Florists Should Consider This Cooler

If you’ve been googling things like how to make a DIY floral cooler or portable cooler for wedding flowers, this is truly the answer. It keeps your flowers at the perfect temperature, sets up in minutes, and can travel with you to any event.

Whether you’re a wedding florist, event florist, or farmer-florist, having a reliable floral cooler solution makes all the difference!
