Florists
This small-scale wedding floral design service covers the San Francisco Bay Area, with a full-service custom floral studio that handles personals, ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception arrangements for a $5,000 minimum spend. The studio is a single-designer atelier with a strong commitment to sustainability and local flower farmers across Northern California.
Ideal Event Use Cases
- intimate weddings with 50 to 100 guests where ceremony and reception are at the same venue
- elopement-style ceremonies with rich personal floral details (bouquets, boutonnieres, hair flowers)

- vow-renewal events and milestone anniversary celebrations
- queer and LGBTQ-affirming weddings looking for an inclusive design partner
What is Included in the Small Scale Package
- Bridal bouquet plus boutonnieres for the wedding party
- Ceremony pieces (arch florals, aisle markers, altar arrangements as applicable)
- Cocktail-hour table accents and signature-drink display floral
- Six to ten reception centerpieces with personal style cues woven in
- Day-of delivery, setup at the venue, and post-event cleanup
- Pre-event consultations, mock-up samples, and a venue walk-through
Approach and Routing
The studio works in single-designer mode, which means one floral lead is assigned to your wedding from consultation to clean-up. The design aesthetic blends whimsical romance with sustainability practices, drawing inspiration from the unique love story of the couple and the natural world. Every bouquet, arrangement, and installation is crafted with 100% sustainable materials, partnering with local Bay Area flower farms whenever the season allows.
Travel and Service Area
The primary studio is in the San Francisco core, with regular service across San Francisco, Oakland, the Peninsula (Burlingame, Palo Alto, Menlo Park, Redwood City, Half Moon Bay), Marin County, and Wine Country venues across Napa Valley and Sonoma County. The typical service radius is up to 75 miles from San Francisco; longer routes require a custom quote with mileage and any overnight floral-storage logistics included.

Common Questions About This Tier
What is the difference between Small Scale and Full Scale? Small Scale focuses on the essentials — personals, ceremony, and reception centerpieces — with a $5,000 minimum spend. Full Scale extends the design to include installations, larger ceremony structures, and a $10,000+ scope. Most weddings under 100 guests fit Small Scale comfortably.
Can the studio adjust seasonal flowers if my date shifts? Yes. Because the design draws on local flower farms, the studio will adjust the specific flowers used to match the season of your final wedding date. The overall design aesthetic stays consistent.
Are personals priced separately? Personals (bridal bouquet, bridesmaids' bouquets, boutonnieres, corsages) are included in the package design conversation. Individual replacements after the package is locked are priced at standard per-stem rates (bouquets typically $200, boutonnieres typically $200).
How early should I book for a 2026 wedding? Six to nine months is the typical lead time for peak-season Saturdays (May through October). Off-season weekday weddings can sometimes be booked with shorter lead time.
Is mock-up included? Yes. One full mock-up consultation is included in the package; additional mock-ups can be added at standard mock-up rates.
