California Wedding & Event Florist
Autumn
Marcelle
"Flowers have been my love language for as long as I can remember. As a little girl, I gathered blooms from around my neighborhood, crafting the tiniest bouquets with careful hands and a big imagination. Today, as a California Wedding and Event Florist, I have the honor of sharing that same love on a far more meaningful scale.
One of the greatest joys of my work truly is getting to know my couples and clients. I treasure the process of uncovering the subtle details that make their vision distinctly theirs—then translating those ideas into a layered, highly personalized floral experience they’ll never forget. The moments that we are a part of matter, and that's what we strive to highlight and enhance. My approach is thoughtful and intentional, rooted in collaboration and guided by a deep respect for artistry.
I’m endlessly grateful for the planners and creative partners who trust us, and for the suppliers who make our work possible. Nurturing strong relationships within the industry is something I hold close; I believe extraordinary results come from teams who share a commitment to excellence, originality, and crafting experiences that feel entirely one-of-a-kind.
Creativity extends far beyond the studio for me. I love cooking and experimenting with new recipes—my meticulously organized Pinterest boards are proof. Whether I’m developing a new dish or refining a floral concept, I’m always chasing inspiration and beauty in the details.
Family is at the heart of everything I do. This business gives me the gift of flexibility—so I never miss pizza and ice cream dates with our child, slow afternoons at the park, or spontaneous day trips along the coast. You’ll often find me in the garden as well, music playing, hands in the soil, tending the crops that nourish our family and growing some of the blooms that make their way into our designs.
Whether you’re a couple, a planner, or a fellow creative, I look forward to connecting. In a world that often feels rushed and surface-level, I value meaningful relationships built around a shared love of flowers, color, and intentional design.
"All of our guests continued to compliment us on how beautiful and elegant everything looked--that is all a testament to Autumn!"

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 backyard, filled with citrus trees and roses of all colors. 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 attend the Floral Design Institute in Portland, OR. I spent over a year completing a very comprehensive trade program, and started my wedding and event floral design business.
My Style
My signature design style begins with curating a tasteful color story that leans heavily into transitional tones for a subtle, effortless 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 varieties; rich, loosely-placed textural flowers; and a light touch of complimentary foliage that adds to the shape of the design rather than just being used as filler- I create my distinct and abundant, garden-style. My design method ensures each arrangement is full of movement and depth, while feeling layered and striking a pleasant balance between the aesthetics of a manicured garden and effortless romance of the landscape.
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 gather 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 unique quality 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.
"We had specific style preferences and Autumn, ever so versatile, listened to our requests and matched what we envisioned perfectly!"
