Floramor Studios

Laura and her team were absolute perfection — all I could have ever asked for and more. She met with me and my mother about 7 months before the wedding, and I immediately felt at ease with her, and trusted her. I know that when it comes to a wedding, especially one that you are planning yourself, you’re only as strong as your weakest link. I knew I needed a strong team around me: photog (Loic Nicholas), DJ (Terry Cole), florist (Laura Little), and site coordinator (Lukka Feldman of Barndiva). This team was fantastic. Laura stepped up in every way possible, she coordinated all the decoration items for the wedding, and I didn’t even worry for a second or feel like I had to micromanage her. She just got me, and got my design aesthetic. I wanted elegant and simple, but not too rustic or farmy… I wanted south of France meets Sonoma winery meets farm to table. She nailed it. Every time I suggested something she would say no problem or that’s a great idea I’ll execute it. Last minute I threw in petals to toss as we exited the ceremony and she did the most adorable little cones on the chairs. I didn’t have to do a thing (I had a very strict no DYI rule for myself) and she didn’t even charge me! I am so so happy I chose Laura to work with. She made the most beautiful bouquet for me… Totally nailed my vision for what I wanted. Everyone thought the florals were 3times the cost — they looked so full and lavish. Laura stayed in my budget and made it beautiful with her creativity and discerning eye. Thank you Laura you are the best!

I’m absolutely in love with Laura! She will turn any of your crazy visions into reality. I had so many last minute requests that Laura’s team was able to accommodate. All of my 1 am sleep deprived visions became reality.
Laura has much more experience dealing with Indian weddings than I could have imagined. I really didn’t know what floral arrangements were needed for the religious ceremony and she took care of all of that plus more. Even when my ideas would get crazy and out of my budget, Laura would be realistic with me and help me find a compromise.
My husband and I are forever grateful for the hard work and beautiful vision that went into what I think was the best wedding ever. Thank you so much Floramor!

In October of this year, Laura and her incredible team pulled off our dream wedding and did so with about 4 months to plan.
We were referred to her by a friend who used her services for the «day of» their wedding, but I think that having Laura’s team only work on that portion is like going to Gary Danko’s and just ordering the bread basket. While it’s the best bread you’re ever going to eat, the real meat, potatoes, cheese, caviar, oysters, champagne, and chocolate dessert are why you go. I recommend you GET IT ALL.
Our event was a 3-​day extravaganza on the Central Coast that included a rehearsal dinner in SLO, an epic wedding ceremony at the Santa Margarita Ranch, and a Pool BBQ the following day. We felt confident that Laura could handle it based on her 20+ years of wedding planning experience and extensive reference list from clients hosting 4-​day, elaborate, exotic Indian wedding affairs.
Because she knows so much about catering and events, we often witnessed Laura educating our vendors on how they should be doing their jobs. In addition to working with the few vendors we found, she sourced the absolute best companies to provide the band, photography, transportation, lodging, food, programs, candy, décor, and of course the flowers (note: the venue staff commented that they had never seen the space look the way she set it up, truly visionary and epic execution). Laura made several weekend trips with us to the venue which was incredible because it was a 8 hour round trip journey. Truly above and beyond!
Laura helped us to budget, got us great discounts prior to the event, was always forthcoming when costs increased, and when things went awry with our caterer, she helped to negotiate a reasonable outcome and put what could have been a terrible experience to rest quickly and fairly.
Looking back, there are things I would have done a little differently — like coordinating the pizza after party, and paying closer attention to the seating, but that’s on me, not them. Which leads me to my final thought on the whole process — even when working with Laura and team, it’s still the responsibility of the bride and groom to be proactive, responsive, and decisive. No one is a mind reader, and if it’s important enough to cry about on the day of, be sure to figure it out in advance. Otherwise, save the tears and HAVE A BLAST!
PS. Huge thank you to Laura and her team of wedding geniuses — Natalie, Maria, Steve, and Ruby-​the-​Dog.

My husband and I can’t say enough about using Floramor for our November wedding. We met with Laura once to discuss the flowers we’d like to have, and it was that easy. Everything was exactly how we had pictured it. There were no surprises at the end, and we couldn’t have even imagined how beautiful everything would turn out Our guests were just as amazed as we were, and we even managed to do it on a budget :)
I would recommend Floramor to everyone in the SF bay area. Laura is the most reliable, easiest person I worked with during this entire wedding process!

There are so many words to describe Laura Little and her Floramor team. She was simply amazing during the planning/​brainstorming process and was just spectacular in executing it all on our wedding day! She made herself available to us despite her very busy schedule. She worked with our venue to help provide us with a backdrop and helped us order the chairs and linens. Suffice to say, she is clearly passionate about what she does, and the effort she puts into her work is a living testament to that passion. I highly recommend her to any bride who is looking for a florist. Our wedding turned out romantic, elegant, and in our opinion timeless. Husband was «wowed» and we were both speechless at the ambiance Laura and her team created at our venue! Thank you so much Laura! Money well spent, but the memories we took from it are priceless! — Kelly and Chris 12÷15÷14

Although, tired and relieved from wedding and planning process. We finally have some to write a review. I normally don’t post reviews but after our experience with Floramor and Laura (the owner). I feel that this review needs to be posted for all future couples in search of florists for their wedding. Be forewarned, her flowers may turn out well but her follow through is poor for the price you pay.
So here it is:
We give Floramor a ‘generous’ 3 stars
We used Floramor for our July 2014 wedding at the Four Seasons hotel in San Francisco. We found them thru Unilocal and was also recommended by the hotel.
There were a few red flags after we placed our 50% deposit with Floramor. Laura became very slow in responding to our emails during our planning process. Over the course of 6 month, we had to email and call her several times to get a response. She made a lot of excuses about sending to the wrong email addresses or receiving our emails to her «other» email addresses… She often became rude and snooty about colors and florals and even suggested we go to «art school» since our view of coral is different then hers. Her lack of customer service really affected our judgement and trust on her. If it wasnt for our 50% deposit, we would have gone to a different florist. Her emotions were all over the place. One minute being rude and next nice and «excited» as she says. We had to tolerate her and hope she provides us the florals and décor we paid for $$$$. After finalizing our plans with her and had the details written out in our contract, everything seemed like it will fall into place and Laura would follow through as planned.
However, on the day of our wedding, the boutonnieres and bouquet that were delivered to us first were not as what had talked about with Laura. She did not provide us (as written by Laura in contract) «little orchid, calla, rose or ranunculus» boutonnieres for the groomsmen and the fathers. Instead all of the boutonnieres were boring white/​cream roses on black satin (which also should have been gray satin). The person that delivered them claimed he didn’t know and told us to call Laura about it instead of finding a solution to fix the issue. The person delivering the flowers has been with Floramor for a long time and may be Laura’s husband as well…
We also paid a lot of money for a floral arrangement to be placed at our guest sign in. The picture Laura provided us in the proposal compared to the one we had on our wedding day was completely different! It small and cheap and so were the flowers. Completely disappointing. Keep in mind, these were flowers that guests see first as they walk in. They were supposed to be grand and beautiful.
Also, the ribbons wrapped my bouquet wasn’t enough as the metals pierced thru and cut my hands the entire time I was holding it no matter how much we tried to fix it ourselves.
I suppose on a good note, the centerpieces did turn out beautiful and arranged as we described. Those were the only good things that came out of our entire experience with Floramor — centerpieces.
But overall, the process of planning with her and especially with her attitude towards customers was unpleasant. And also, she did not follow through as was finalized and paid for with the other floral arrangement.
Customer service and follow through: –2 stars.

Laura was fabulous. Our wedding was on the California Spirit and Laura did all the floral pieces. She guided us on the flower pieces and where to place them. She even told us when we did not need a piece thus saving us money. The flower pieces were exquisite along with the bridal bouquets. She is amazing and you will never go wrong hiring Laura for your events. Thanks again, Laura, we were so pleased with everything. JoAnn and Pete

We met with a couple of florists before finally meeting with Laura at Floramor and as soon as we left her studio, my now husband and I turned to each other and said, «yup, we’re going with her.» We didn’t need to see anyone else. Upon stepping into the studio, we were met with vibrant colors and flowers of all kinds. The ambiance was so warm and inviting, as was Laura. We met with her for about an hour and she immediately got our vision for the wedding. She understood what we were trying to do and was so easy to work with in terms of working with our budget yet still giving us spectacular work. It was simply amazing to see their hard work on our wedding day. I literally squealed and excitedly jumped up and down when a couple of her employees showed up at the hotel to deliver the groomsmen’ boutonnieres and the bouquets for us girls. I even hugged them! And when we walked into our reception venue and saw the array of red flowers spread amidst the room we were simply taken aback. We knew their work would be phenomenal but it exceeded our expectations.
We’re so grateful to them for their hard work and would definitely recommend them to our friends!

Laura and her crew did our flowers for our June 2013 wedding at the Hotel Kabuki and we could not have been happier. From the minute you walk in to her studio, you know you’re dealing with a professional.
My bouquet was gorgeous. It was exactly what I had in mind and looked beautiful. Same for the bridesmaid bouquets and the centerpieces. Laura worked with our limited budget and made adjustments where necessary to still give us the light, summery feel we wanted at a reasonable cost. She has a great vision for flowers and décor and really knew what would stand out and what wouldn’t be necessary.
We’re so glad we used Floramor! I would definitely recommend them to anyone else looking for a florist.

Amazing! That is the best way to describe.
Laura was super easy to work with. I was never that girl that planned her wedding all her life, so I was completely lost when it came to everything, including flowers. So I decided to show Laura my dress, told her my colors and told her to run with it.
I LOVED everything about the arrangements. The smell from the flowers were unbelievable during the ceremony, cocktails and dinner (in fact most are in my kitchen and my house smell amazing).
I thought Laura was very easy to reach and work with (but then again I was as far from a controlling bride). Even though my budget was relatively small compared to others, I thought Laura treated me just as any client with thousands of dollars.
And since I live in the city, meeting with Laura was easy as well.
(Floramor was a preferred vendor at my venue, Marines’ Memorial).

Laura was a pleasure to work with!
My wife and I were recommended to Floramor Studios when planning our wedding. We were told that Laura was the best in the business with a fantastic creative mind. She helped put together a beautiful array for our ceremony and reception. I was in awe (as a guy nonetheless) when seeing the final product on our wedding night.
Working with her was easy. She catered to our needs, what we wanted, what was in our price range and made us feel like we were the only people that mattered.
I’d highly recommend her to anyone that needs florist for a wedding.

Laura knows what she’s doing. She’s a veteran. Great taste, great vision, easy to work with.

Love, Love, Love!!! I met Laura at the St. Regis and was interested in some crystal trees for a wedding I was planning the following year in Kenwood. Next thing you know our venue has cancelled, we’ve moved it to San Francisco and we are back at square one… and Laura saves the day! She took our original vision of a whimsical, french country, outdoor wedding in Wine Country and created an elegant, Parisian garden in the Grand Ballroom at the Fairmont! Because she is not just a florist, but an event designer as well, she took care of everything from the flowers to the rentals to the design and printing of programs, menus and myriad other details.
Because she was so amazing at what she does, I was able to focus on other details and vendors, KNOWING that everything would come together with Laura at the helm!
It was enlightening to work with someone so passionate about their work and so generous with their time and creative vision.
Thank you so much Laura… you are the best!!!

they are wonderful. I love Laura and her staff and they were super sweet. My floral arrangements for my wedding was perfect! Everything I ever wanted, they made come true. It also helped that Laura knew everyone in the business. Laura you are awesome and thank you for everything. They were one of the few that made my wedding perfect.

My husband and I hired Laura and her team for our wedding in October 2010. Laura is amazing, creative, and very talented! We knew nothing about flower arrangements, but she made us feel at ease and assured us that we’ll have great flower arrangements for our wedding. She asked me what’s my favorite flower, and right away she came up with various ideas; all of them were great we couldn’t pick one. She even gave us some advices for the wedding, from table to dance floor arrangements. We were very inspired!
She’s very energetic and after we talked to her to discuss our wedding flower arrangements, we knew she’s the one! We also got to see a sample of our centerpiece a few weeks before the wedding. It was just another assurance we needed, and our centerpiece looked amazing!
On the day of the wedding, she delivered our bouquets in time and they looked gorgeous. I uploaded some picture as well. The ceremony and reception arrangements were amazing. We were so thrilled she made it happen as discussed. My mother in law loved it so much, she took one of the centerpiece home and apparently they last for a good 1 month =)
We couldn’t be happier with Floramor service and Laura’s flower design. It was all we hoped for and more. THANKS Laura and team for the great centerpieces. The wedding wouldn’t be as pretty without your flowers!

I hired Laura and her team for our September wedding. I knew the moment I met Laura that she would be awesome to work with! She knows her stuff and has done the most amazing floral designs. She emphasized that she would work with our budget and she immediately put me at ease.
I’m not very knowledgeable when it comes to flowers, but I do know what I like and what I don’t like. When I described the look and colors I was going for, Laura and her team executed and gave me exactly what I had envisioned! It’s like Laura was in my head and read my mind. My bouquet was lovely, the bridesmaids loved their flowers, the centerpieces were gorgeous and the arrangements were stunning.
Because of how overwhelmed I was with the last details leading up to the big day, I decided to engage Laura and her planner and assistant to help with day-​of coordinating. They took so much of the weight off me and made everything look beautiful. Thanks, Laura, Megan, Debbie, and last but certainly not least, Joanna!!!

It was a blessing to find Floramor Studios.
Laura is great to work with.
She knew exactly what I wanted, and she delivered exactly what I asked for.
Thank you Laura and your team for the beautiful arrangements and bouquets.

I hired Laura for my wedding at the Fairmont and she did a fanstastic job. She’s by far the best florist out of all the ones we talked to and all the guests took tons of pictures of the center piece, because they were absolutely stunning. Laura has great visions and every arrangement she does fits your desired style and they are always different. I would definetly use her again and recommend her. She was able to work in my last minute flower requests, literally the day before the wedding, which I thought was really above and beyond the expectation.
One thing for the Unilocalers, I didn’t get a reminder of the deadline to cancel extra orders of flower. Laura warned me not all guests would come and I may not need all the flowers I initially thought I needed. My notice to her was just one day late (a few minutes passed midnight). It’s completely my fault, because she put the order in as early as possible to guarantee the flowers. She did try to cancel it for me later, but had no success. We were able to use the extra flowers for other things later, so it’s ok. The other vendors I worked with gave me reminders for the final count. so just an FYI.

Yesterday, my husband sent me a miniature version of my wedding bouquet — black mini calla lilies for our 2 year wedding anniversary — it’s tradition — he also did that for our first year — from Floramor of course!
2 years ago we hired Floramor for our wedding at Wente Vineyards. Rhonda Stoffel who is no longer there was EXCELLENT! She heard us out and went above and beyond what we expected.
Most of our flower budget went to personal flowers and ceremony décor. My bouquet was a lush and rounded pave style design of deep aubergine-​eggplant New Zealand mini callas — GORGEOUS! I’m not much for fluff and knew I wanted something modern. I got just that!
My ladies had dramatic hued bouquets as well: deep crimson, cognac-​amber and aubergine… I won’t go into each flower, the bouquets were just as big as mine — stunning!
We were originally planned to marry on the lawn but since our guestlist was a little over 200 (which is intimate to us) we had no choice but to move our ceremony. I knew I wanted to stand in front of an arch with flowers but didn’t want a cheesy wood white one. Floramor suggested a 9 foot tall natural birch arch canopy. Perfect! I had wanted it to be square, but since we were moved in front of the event center with an arch way — Floramor quickly transformed the square to an arch on the spot. The birch arch was entwined with fabric, green hydrangea, sunset hued and burgundy aubergine dahlias, roses and fresh grapes!
Lastly, I had to have rose petals going down the aisle! Keeping up with the hot colors — rose petals of plum-​burgundy, red and tangerine were scattered.
For the reception I wanted to keep it simple since Wente is just so beautiful on it’s own and we had a Zephyr tent — I kept the flowers to all white and green. Centerpieces were comprised of three varying sizes of mini glass cubes: each cube contained one floral element. Flowers were: white hydrangea, green hydrangea, white roses, white sweetpeas, white lilies, green cymbidium orchids, lime green button poms and lime green anthurium. This way, more aunties could each take a centerpiece home.
We had a square cake of 5 layers — Floramor added orchids to each layer.
We were so happy with our flowers! FLORAMOR does wonderful work! If we ever host a sophisticated soirée, we’re for sure going with Floramor!

My husband and I initially chose Floramor for our wedding florist because Laura Little, the owner, was energetic to work with (this woman is like Richard Simmons on amphetamines), was able to provide us with tulips (my favorite) during an off-​season, and was willing to work with our budget (which was small compared to what the big hotels pay her). There were several times when it took her weeks to get back to us during our communication phase, but we eventually drafted up our proposal and descriptions of our wedding flowers.
During the wedding day, amidst all the craziness, we still noticed that several items were not delivered according to our contract.
1) We had ordered free-​flowing organza to be used on the gazebo, but were given a rigid tulle material instead.
2) We had ordered brown-​colored flower petals that coordinated with our color theme, but were given red-​colored petals.
3) We had ordered sashes and ribbons for our seating cards table, but were given only a small number of what we ordered.
4) We ordered large calla lilies for vases, but miniature ones were delivered.
After we returned from the honeymoon, we e-​mailed Laura about all the things that were not delivered based on our contract, including photos as proof. Laura became really defensive and quite rude to us. In one e-​mail, she implied that our wedding was cheap and that she did us a favor by working with us. She blamed us for not pointing out the errors on the day of the wedding when we noticed them (I guess she expected us to neglect all the things we had to do on that day to await her re-​delivery of those items? Ri… di…cu…lous.) After many e-​mails back and forth, she eventually agreed to refund us a small portion of our money back.
I have seen some of Laura’s work and was very impressed. Additionally, I really liked my tulip bouquet, my bridesmaids’ bouquets, and the centerpieces. She is definitely capable of doing outstanding work when at high cost, but will sometimes substitute substandard items if your budget is smaller. Be aware if she states that she will work with your budget. We would have rated her higher if it wasn’t for her unprofessional behavior and very poor customer service.
1 star off: difficulty to reach
1 star off: did not abide by contract
1 star off: very poor customer service
