At Expressions Floral, we believe flowers are more than décor — they are part of your story. Every wedding we design is rooted in care, creativity, and a deep respect for the trust our clients place in us during one of life’s most meaningful moments.

Expressions Floral did an amazing job at our wedding!! We actually booked them fairly late, around August when our wedding was in November. I had thought I could DIY flowers and last minute decided against it. They were easy to book a consult with, listened to every single thing I wanted, put it all into their online portal where I could upload inspo photos too, and sent a quote over quickly! They also easily adjusted it for me when I changed my mind on a few things. Payment was easily made online, and I was able to make changes up until a week out. Everything was delivered on time and exactly as expected on the day of! The bouquets and arch turned out exactly as I had imagined them! They were able to provide tips for the garlands and loose flowers, and overall were very easy to work with, provided everything I wanted, and everything turned out beautiful! They were reasonably priced compared to competitors in the area as well. I would recommend them to other brides! :)

Welcome. Karla has been an artist for as long as she has been alive. It all started when she was in preschool and thought that painting another pre-school student with paint was fun. Unfortunately, she got sent home that day, but the artist in her was born! Working with flowers, and making events beautiful for her clients, has provided Karla with an outlet that is very fulfilling for her. It creates a balance, and zen for her, which fills, balances, and feeds her soul.

Karla did a wonderful job capturing our vision. Wow! I loved the different floral pieces. I wanted something simple but elegant for the tables, and some more dramatic pieces for our sweetheart table, ceremony arch, and aisle. She was so great at guiding me through this process and did so much within my budget! I would highly recommend her. Such a delight to work with!

Awarded Best of Zola
We had our wedding at Legion of Honor Art Museum in SF in early September and had the honor to have Autumn as our florist. She has been an absolute joy to work with. From the very beginning, Autumn was responsive, patient, and respectful in her communication, taking the time to understand our vision and work within our budget. The result was truly stunning - the floral arrangements were beautiful, creative, and one of a kind. She created a pink purple white garden-style palette for our ceremony on the lawn, and a moody berry plum-y palette for the more artsy cocktail hour and reception later that night. Autumn navigated the venue's policies regarding floral delivery and decoration style with great attention to detail, and she even enhanced the unique color palette we had requested with her own creative flair. We were thrilled with how everything turned out and would highly recommend Autumn Marcelle Design to any couple planning their wedding.

I decided 2 weeks before my wedding that I did, in fact, want flowers. I sent Salt and Petal a bizarre message with a doodle and a dream, and she made it happen. She also made sure the flowers would be cat-safe (my cat was my maid of honor who is the true love of my life). I love their sustainability and eco-friendliness which aligns with my morals as well. Communication was wonderful and the flowers were spectacular

  • Serves Capitola, CA

Hey there! I’m Lauren, your new flower bestie. I am an artistic soul who appreciates every flower and every season. I believe in coming alongside you to bring your floral vision to life in a purposeful, detail oriented way.

Lauren was incredible. I had hired a different florist who had to cancel about 2 months before my wedding. Lauren had been recommended to me by the baker for our cake and she was able. Immediately it was clear that floral designs are her gift. She created a floral vision board for my wedding based on the emails I had sent her describing my personal style and flower preferences, and also with photo examples of flowers I loved. The vision board was perfectly me, to a T. My bridal bouquet was so beautiful and smelled amazing. I carried it around with me all weekend and made room for it in my overpacked luggage to bring home so I could press the flowers! My friends also loved their bouquets, my mother LOVED her gold band corsage, and the boutonnières for the guys were the perfect compliments to everything else! She was so very sweet and accommodating, when I expressed concern for costs she very kindly worked with me to find a budget and also give me amazing florals. She even worked with my reception venue to add flowers to an Ivy wall which turned out AMAZING. My flowers were one of my most favorite pets of my wedding! I cannot recommend Lauren enough - I promise you’ll be so happy you hired Paisley’s!!

Offering al la carte and full service design, with delivery and set up to assure your day is stress free.

I cannot recommend Courtney and Quaintrelle Farms enough! From start to finish, working with her was an absolute dream. Our wedding was on November 10th, which is a bit tricky when it comes to flower availability, but Courtney pulled it off with ease, creating the most stunning arrangements from flowers she grew locally. Every bloom was beautiful and unique, and she perfectly captured the vision we had for our day. Courtney handled all the florals for our ceremony, reception, bridal bouquets, and boutonnieres, and everything was just breathtaking. The flowers were not only gorgeous, but they added such a personal, local touch to our celebration. I was also lucky enough to have Courtney create a headpiece for me, and let me tell you—it was magical! It made me feel like a druid high elf, and I couldn’t stop looking at it. She also made the sweetest flower crowns for our niece and nephew, which were just adorable and really added a special touch to their outfits. One of the things I’m most excited about is that Courtney also does pressed flower art, and she’s currently working on a piece with flowers from my bridal bouquet. I can’t wait to see how it turns out—what a perfect way to preserve such a meaningful part of our day. Courtney’s talent, creativity, and passion for what she does are unparalleled. If you're looking for a florist who not only provides beautiful, high-quality flowers but also puts heart and soul into everything she creates, look no further than Quaintrelle Farms. Thank you, Courtney, for making our wedding day even more magical!

I ordered the silk magnolia bouquet (Shelbie Bridal Bouquet - Hand tied) and opted for the scent to be added. They arrived and already looked perfect with very minimal fluffing/adjustment. I was nervous the scent would be strong or too artificial but it was light and natural. They photographed beautifully and let me have a taste of home with the magnolias all the way across the country. Gorgeous.

Choose one of our DIY flower kits or get a custom plan based on your colors, style, and budget.

Awarded Best of Zola
The flowers (on our order) came in large boxes, but they were not labeled, so it took a minute to get the flowers both identified and properly set up. To be fair we were warned about the process, but not about the length of time due to our inexperience. As a note, it took my fiancé 5 hours to process the flowers when first receiving them. I also did not have any updates from them from the time I ordered till they were being shipped. They were beyond more affordable compared to other florists, and the flowers arrived alive and in good spirits. We were able to keep the flowers alive for over four days!! Many of the flowers that we chose did not have specific instructions, so we had to follow the general reference for the flowers and hope for the best. Additionally, some of the flowers that we wanted were not in stock, and they were replaced for us with substitutes but were not notified until we had all of the flowers already delivered to us. Also, as a note, bloom culture uses third party sellers for their flowers, so the quality may vary depending on location. Our flowers were in good condition, and the company we had clearly took good care of the flowers prior to delivering them to us. Would we do it again? Probably not, but it made for good laughs and bonding time and we have stories to tell from it!

Working with Yulia was truly one of the best decisions I made while planning my wedding. She is an incredible wedding and event planner and a gifted florist with an exceptional eye for design and detail. I had a very specific vision for my dream wedding—which included multiple venues and complex logistics—and Yulia brought it all to life beautifully. From assembling an amazing team of photographers, makeup artists, and videographers, to coordinating every detail on the day-of, she handled everything with grace and precision. She created and delivered the most stunning floral arrangements, and cleverly designed them to be used across multiple locations (ceremony and reception). She even handcrafted my seating labels and added thoughtful, personal touches throughout the event. I was able to fully enjoy the day knowing she had everything handled. Beyond my wedding, Yulia also planned my baby shower and continues to be my go-to for beautiful floral arrangements. I'm pretty indecisive, so having her as a thought partner throughout the wedding process was a lifesaver—she helped me make key decisions with confidence and was always available to text, brainstorm, and support. Yulia goes above and beyond for her clients, and I truly could not have done it without her. Anyone who gets the chance to work with her is in incredibly good hands!

I cannot say enough good things about Moon Florist!! They made our bridal party’s bouquets and boutonnieres, and every single one looked amazing. Their prices were very reasonable too. Maryem was so sweet and fantastic to work with - we sent her a reference photo for the bouquets, and she was able to recreate the exact same ones and then also matching boutonniere versions. She coordinated delivery the day of the wedding, and even was able to make a couple last minute changes to the groom’s boutonniere after we found out his suit would be a different color. Truthfully I had never really thought about preserving my bouquet after the wedding, but I loved mine so much that I ended up pressing the flowers myself so that I could keep them. I would highly recommend Moon Florist to anyone looking for a wedding florist!!
