OUR PHILOSOPHY

At California Floral Studio, we believe the foundation for our work is based on the beautiful product we use, the collaboration with our clients, and our natural yet sophisticated design aesthetic. Creating floral works that transform spaces, elevate private events, and express innumerable emotions is our goal, every time. We listen carefully and then examine, imagine, and construct.

For us, flowers and foliage is a way of life, literally. We maintain a large private garden where we grow specialty cut flowers and product that we can’t find at the flower markets. Seasonality, natural spaces, and our clients’ story inspire our designs. Getting to work with nature’s beauty every day and see our client’s vision come to life is a true honor and privilege. We view our role as being much more than creating an exquisite centerpiece or imagining up an ethereal bouquet. Instead, we tell your story with our floral art.

We have transitioned to a goal of using 100% garden grown and locally acquired flowers and foliages. Take a look at our Sustainability page to learn why this matters to us. If you would like to take a peek at our seemingly ever growing and expanding flower garden and a few arrangements that we’ve made wholly from flowers grown by us, take a look from the summer of 2020 (below):

“The impermanence and fragility of a flower is not a deficiency, it's an exquisiteness. A flower is a finite gift from nature for those who understand, respect, and value a singular moment in time. We use flowers to reinforce the beauty and fragility of that moment at that occasion. Savor it. That moment is for you and it’s not coming back.”

- Sara Sanders, Founder

With every client there is the opportunity to embark on a fresh new journey, one that creates a new mood, constructs a narrative, celebrates unique beauty, and engages all of the senses.

Whether your vision is romantic, wild, vintage, lush, loose, modern, or traditional, we will be working magic to ensure your florals have a little edge, are undeniably you, and absolutely unforgettable.
