Where is the studio?
Address: 1000 Fremont Ave, Unit 110, South Pasadena, CA 91030
The studio is tucked away in a charming historic building in South Pasadena. Enter through the double side doors by the Fiore Market Cafe eating patio and turn left- the shop is straight ahead! If the outer door is locked, please call the studio phone at (626) 460-6111 and I will come usher you in.
Helpful Hints: The GPS will take you to the front of the building by the theater but the studio is actually located off the side street, El Centro. Lots of free parking to be found there as well.

How does sizing work?
I calculate my sizing based on the type of flowers being used. Flowers have a wide price range, anywhere from $5-8 a stem to $40-50 a stem. I use a mix of more cost effective flowers and unique, deluxe flowers, being mindful to create volume that the price of the arrangement demands. Depending on the price/size of a stem, some may “feel” smaller/larger, given the changeable nature of flower growth. However, I’m careful to price stems accurately, creating each arrangement with cost, volume, longevity, seasonality and style in mind. Each arrangement is marked up an additional 20% to cover labor and material costs.
How long will my flowers last?
The vase life of each flower varies. Some such as ranunculus, alliums, and traditional roses can last 1-2 weeks with proper care. These are more premium blooms that I attempt to center my designs around. Other more delicate types such as poppies, sweet peas, and butterfly ranunculus may last at their peek for 3-4 days. These are typically used as accent flowers to give the arrangement romance, beauty and texture. I use a mix of both types, in order to create the most dynamic arrangement. Each flower order arrives with an easily digestible flower guide to help you extend the life of your arrangement.
Please keep in mind that outside circumstances can also affect the life of your flowers. Weather (especially heat & direct sunlight), lack of water, dirty water, and drafts can drastically shorten the life of flowers.
