I am really lucky. I have the benefit of being good friends with one of the delightful florists at Emilia's. This is a double win for me, because it means that I get to be friends with someone awesome who also happens to know a whole lot about flowers! Which is exactly what I needed when planning the flowers for my wedding because anyone who knows me knows that I don't know much about flowers other than they look pretty and smell nice.

Jess and the folks at Emilia's took my unclear ideas – a jumble of adjectives and a wrinkled photo from SF Bride and turned them into a work of art. I have never been too good at the small details and probably wasn't that helpful when I said things like “Oh, you know whichever flowers you think are best” or “I don't know, I kind of like the roundy, pointy, purpley yellow ones.” However, the ideas some how got communicated because the flowers at the wedding represented everything I had dreamed they would be. Unique, jauntily vibrant and locally inspired.

Whether it's for an everyday pick me up, a lovely hostess gift or a wedding, you can count on the florists at Emilia's to help you make a beautiful statement in a poem of flowers. I completely recommend them for lovers of floral niceties of all kinds!
