Get to Know Her
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 a Luxury Florist serving weddings, events and editorials across California, I get to spread that love on a broader and more meaningful scale.
One of my favorite parts of my role is getting to know new clients and couples- working closely with them to identify the details of their vision that make the design unique, and translating that into an actionable and highly personalized floral experience they’ll want to relive!
I’m so deeply grateful for our planning partners and our suppliers that help make our work so creatively fulfilling! Something I take very seriously is maintaining relationships with fellow vendors that carry the same level of commitment to fulfilling an elevated and customized vision for our couples- going above and beyond to create a memorable experience that looks unlike any other.
In my personal life, I LOVE cooking and experimenting with new recipes. I have a VERY organized Pinterest board of recipes I can't wait to try. I am a deeply creative person in all aspects of life, and my culinary pursuits are just one example of that!
Family is also incredibly important to me. This business allows me the flexibility to not miss the most important moments with our son; our pizza & ice cream dates, quiet afternoons at the park, and day trips to Half Moon Bay- some of our favorite things to do.
You’ll also find me out in the garden, listening to music and covered in dirt as I tend to the crops that help feed our family and some of the flowers that you see in the studio!
Whether you’re a couple, planner or a fellow vendor- I can’t wait to meet you. In a world of shallow social interactions, I love connecting more deeply with people who share my interests and love of flowers, color, and 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 (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 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!"
