Expressive florals for the wild, whimsical,
and wonderful

Joy Blooms Here.

Florals done well aren’t just something you see—they’re a sensory experience you can feel. Colorful and expressive blooms create an ambiance, an atmosphere, and a whole vibe.

So no matter what you’re celebrating, leave a place at your table (or on your wall, or over your altar, or on your lapel, or in your hair…) for florals that make an impact.

From statement-making wedding bouquets to lush event backdrops that leave your guests feeling like A-listers, Althea Floral Design has you covered!

Long story short: Flowers. Elevate. Everything.

Whether you’re envisioning captivating centerpieces, dreamy flower installations, or outside-the-box personal florals, I’m here to bring your imagination to life.

BOLD FLORALS FOR
TRUE-TO-YOU WEDDINGS

Let’s toss out the old wedding norms and craft a custom floralscape that brings your love to life in wild, living color. 

We’ll go way beyond just bouqs and bouts, adorning you and your space with “omg, this is SO US” florals that authentically celebrate who you are.

Why should weddings have all the fun? Whether you’re celebrating a company milestone or a store opening, florals can take any event from mundane to magical.

Delight your guests and draw them in with floral art and event installations they’ll be talking about for a long time.

  • "Using Althea Floral Design was one of the highlights of the event that I hosted.

    Julian was attentive to detail, creative & produced one of the most gorgeous, custom floral installations I've ever seen. Their energy and enthusiasm are both incredibly admirable & electric.

    Run, don't walk when booking their services. They’re an absolute delight!”

  • "Julian is a true artist and extremely professional, with a close attention to detail.

    They designed and delivered incredible flowers for our wedding! Early on, they listened closely to our interests and shared their deep expertise to help shape our overall florals that fit into our overall wedding design vision. They went above and beyond to create super-custom centerpieces that incorporated non-traditional elements (bent and shaped horsetails dyed black!). Thank you!”

In my design questionnaire I ask clients “are you open to fruit or vegetables in your designs?”, and this is what I mean by that! Raspberry branches, pomegranate, and gourds make for fun interesting shapes along with the flowers. Also, I&
