The Designer
Autumn
Marcelle
Flowers have been my love language from the time I was a little girl, when I made the tiniest bouquets with flowers I picked around my neighborhood. Now, as an avid gardener and luxury floral designer, I get to spread that love on a broader and more meaningful scale.
I am as hands-on as they come, designing abundant landscapes of heirloom blooms & transforming regal wedding spaces alongside my talented team for couples around California and beyond. From connecting with new couples on consultation calls, to designing the ceremony installation the day of the wedding- I am deeply involved in the process every step of the way.
We believe flowers are the medium that translates love and romance in every language. We know that you'll never forget the scent of your favorite flower in your bouquet; the sight of your love waiting at the altar amongst a romantic garden created just for you; or your favorite people making memories over a shared meal and forever talking about how beautiful your centerpieces were that day...
Flowers aren't the luxury. The luxury is experiencing them in those precious moments.

My Story
There was a French woman that lived a few doors down from the house where I grew up. She had an impeccably manicured garden in her (too small) backyard, filled with citrus trees and roses. I loved spending time with her, learning about how to care for roses, exploring colors and shapes- it was such a peaceful time for me, with Marie.
Fast forward to adulthood- long past those years working with Marie in her backyard- I felt called to do more than clock in at a 9-5. Frustrated and unhappy spending most of my day indoors, I signed up to attemd the Floral Design Institute in Portland, OR. I spent over a year completing a very comprehensive trade program, and started my business upon completion.
My Style
My signature design style begins with curating a tasteful color story with transitional tones for a subtle, yet mesmerizing appeal. Color is one of my FAVORITE aspects of design and I believe it can singlehandedly set the mood & tone of the day.
Using layers of premium blooms and rich, loosely-placed textural flowers, I create my distinct, garden-style that make my designs so lush and romantic in nature. This design method ensures each arrangement is full of movement and depth.
Though I have certainly designed weddings without them, garden roses are present in every one of my signature designs to channel the romanticism of the garden (and a subtle nod to Marie)! With seasonal blooms and arranged with structure, we harness a 'from the garden" aesthetic that feels classic & timeless.
My Method
I work closely with my clients- from the initial contact to final production, ensuring no detail is overlooked. With years of experience, I know just the right questions to ask to capture the details that matter most in bringing your vision to life.
When curating a custom proposal, I employ an arsenal of inspiration that captures every detail and curates a cohesive design plan, delivering a comprehensive quote so you know just what to expect.
From site tours to mock-ups, I take every opportunity to bring the vision more into focus along the way.
Alongside my talented team of designers, I approach event days with a clear schedule and logistical plan to efficiently execute the vision- bringing everything together in a flurry of petals and punctuality.
