'''Fiore of Pensacola, Inc.''' is a downtown florist and event design shop founded in February [[2006]] by [[Shannon Pallin]], a [[Washington High School]] graduate who returned to Pensacola after starting her floral design career in San Diego and New York City. "Fiore" is the Italian word for "flower."

Originally headquartered at 115 South [[DeVilliers Street]], Fiore relocated its main store to 32 [[Palafox Place]] in early [[2008]]. The other location is still used as a warehouse for event product storage.

Pallin organized Pensacola's first [[Art in Bloom]] event, modeled after [[Wikipedia:Art in Bloom|similar events]] in other cities, which was held [[April 10]]-13, 2008. Her Fiore team and former colleague [http://www.nicodeswert.com/ Nico De Swert] provided floral designs for the [[Pensacola Museum of Art]] fundraiser.
