Digging, planting, weeding, growing — the usual happens here.
And this is what those locally grown flowers become.
All custom packages include delivery and installation, which means my team and I will show up (you called it — in professional attire) to place the arrangements as planned. This involves, at times, carefully setting up arches, hanging flowers and assisting with those boutonnieres!

A lot of time goes into personalizing every aspect possible for your event — the color palette, flower selections and the delicate arrangements. It’s a creative and meaningful process.
Personalizing
Whether I’m picking fresh wedding flowers from my artisan garden or sourcing them from a reputable seller, I’ll take the time to ensure that I’ll have every piece necessary to wow your guests.
sourcing
Visiting the event venue, chatting with you about the timeline, reviewing deliverables — there are many moving pieces I’ll keep track of leading up to your event.
communicating
The week of your event, I’ll likely spend up to three, 12-hour days getting the flowers ready. We have to wait until your event is close in order to keep the flowers fresh. I often gather a trusted team to make it happen.
styling
This is when the show really begins, getting every floral element in its place. It’s a time-intensive phase, but I love it and can’t wait to see your event come to life!
installing
Along the way, I’ll be honoring you in every way possible. For my wedding clients and friends, I’ll be sure to keep in touch to celebrate those future anniversaries I know you’re already looking forward to.

"As a wedding photographer, I had a very specific vision for what I wanted and she was able to make it come to life flawlessly. She was able to take my general ideas and turn them into really unique and out of the box products that I hadn’t seen before which was exactly what I wanted!"
"Glenna was an absolute DREAM!"
Katie + David | Bodega Los Alamos | Los Alamos, CA
"We still talk about how incredible our wedding flowers were and how we can't believe we were able to have such amazing flowers. Glenna absolutely nailed it. Glenna was so easy to work with and we felt like she really listened to us and understood our vision. She was also super responsive and friendly, and talking to her on the phone felt very comfortable."
"She made our floral dreams come true."
Rachel + Nick | Villa and Vine | Santa Barbara, CA
"She was extremely communicative throughout the whole process, and she NAILED the arrangements and bouquets. EVERYONE wanted to know who did the flowers because they were just so beautiful. I would without hesitation recommend Glenna to anyone and everyone, because I could not have been more pleased with her work."
"I cannot say enough amazing things about Glenna."
Katie + Ken | The Inn at Mattei's Tavern | Los Olivos, CA

From the farm to the tablescape, flowers go through quite the process. Growing, cultivating, designing, arranging and delivering — so many overlooked elements are a part of the floral design process. Plus, the more fresh and rare your flowers are, well, the higher the cost! I’ll help you navigate the pricing realm of flowers so we can nail the design within a budget that works for you.
