About

In 1988, working my way through Cal Poly, I stood on the street corners of San Luis Obispo, arranging and selling flowers for a local company. There I fell in love with the art of flowers. Later, my travels to Europe inspired me to take an organic slant on floral design. In 2004 I established my own company, and today my team and I create flowers for everyday, birthdays, anniversaries, engagements, showers, loss, holiday parties, and — most of all — weddings.

Fleur's style can be described as organic, whimsical, romantic or rustic. We have no "signature style" but instead we extract our clients' and brides' and grooms' personalities to create their vision for their designs. We source as many flowers as we can locally. We create flowers in all budgets..

Tami's natural ability with flowers includes cut flower design and raising award-winning garden roses. Tami studied interior design at Cal Poly and graduated with a BS in '91. Fleur is the compilation of European flower shop concepts and ideas Tami collected over 20 years. Fleur's studio is in beautiful downtown San Luis Obispo. We service the counties of SLO, SB, Monterey, Fresno, LA, and SF, anywhere in the US, actually, even abroad!

Fleur's approach can be described as "natural" or "organic." We use paper lanterns, umbrellas and string lights, structural floral and non-floral components to create a whimsical, romantic or vintage mood. Our multiple meetings and personal service are designed around the customer's wants and needs.

Fleur designs flowers for everyday, and any special affair such as baby showers, anniversary parties, tea parties and rehearsal dinners.

The idea of Fleur is Tami's translation for European style market flowers; but the innovative efforts that have been put into this flowering business concept have resulted in so much more. We put our heart and soul into every individual design and consultation, and look forward to working with you!

Timely & Attentive

Tami was great to work with! We recently did an intimate wedding together and the flowers were perfect for the celebration. We look forward to working together in the future!

I really wasn't sure what to expect when I was searching for florists online, but on my wedding day the flowers from Fleur were EXACTLY what I wanted. It was nice to see that Tami made my vision a reality! I appreciate that she asked me a lot of questions about what I wanted and was friendly and easy to work with.

I was recommended by Tami to work with Kristen. Kristen was my florist as well as my wedding coordinator. She did above and beyond with meeting with the vendors, contacting everyone, and meeting with them during the site visits. Kristen did a fabulous job! My wedding day was beautiful and and we stuck to the timeline. I'm from out of town, and Kristen even allowed us to ship and store things in her house! She created one bouquet for the bride, and four bridesmaids bouquets and a boutineer for the groom. I loved that she did site visits with the caterer, photographer, and DJ. We met with her and she has an eye for detail. She decorated grape vines for our wedding ceremony. She did a GREAT JOB and I highly recommend her! THANK YOU KRISTEN!

Tami was fantastic to work with! When I met with her, all I had was a general color palette and rustic theme but I didn't really know what kinds of flowers would look best. Tami was full of wonderful suggestions for what kinds of flowers would fit with the colors/theme and also be affordable. We gave her a budget, and she worked within that budget and produced really beautiful bouquets and arrangements that made our ceremony and reception spaces pop!

Tami was such a pleasure to work with! When we first met with her, we had some ideas of what we were looking for with wedding florals and brought along some pictures for reference, but with limited knowledge of flowers or greenery it was hard to totally articulate what we liked and didn’t like. Tami sat with us for more than an hour, flipping through different floral books with us, making sure she clearly understood our vision. She helped us identify which flowers were in season and pointed out which flowers were more and less expensive. Throughout the whole process Tami was extremely responsive and flexible.
Our flowers turned out beyond beautiful! Tami matched our vision perfectly – I think our flowers were nearly identical to some of the pictures we shared! Thanks so much!

I can't even begin to explain how perfect Tami is. I had an "idea" of a budget in mind, and reached out to multiple florists in the Paso Robles area for our destination wedding. I had no idea how much flowers cost, but I had an idea of what I wanted to spend. Everyone was astronomical. And then one day I found Tami, and my first thought was, "this is too good to be true".

It's true!

I'm so glad I found her. She had the exact package I wanted. She was incredibly easy to work with. I'm not the kind of bride who knows all the types of flowers by heart. I knew peonies, and I sent her pictures. She helped me find good alternatives since they're such a seasonal flower. She helped me build an amazing package.

I was a little nervous not having any idea what my bouquet was going to look like (I blame my A-type personality), and Tami showed up the morning of while we were getting dressed and wow... she nailed it. The bouquet was absolutely stunning and complimented my blush dress to the T.

She knows what she's doing. She is incredibly sweet and goes above and beyond for her clients. We live in the San Fran Bay so we never met with her (heck, we never even had a phone call!). We did everything via email.

Now if I can just get her found on Google Search & Maps so other brides from out of the area can find her, my mission will be complete.

We're very happy and blessed to have had her for our wedding day. I highly recommend her as do several of my wedding vendors who have worked with her in the past.

We are beyond happy with our wedding flowers! Besides designing gorgeous arrangements, Tami was a real pleasure to work with. She is super sweet, was very responsive to calls/emails, flexible, and offered us great ideas. I especially appreciated how she respected our budget and really helped us get the most bang for our buck! Thanks again, Tami!

Tami provided exceptional service from the start of my wedding planning! She was very helpful in doing flower research since I was looking for specific colors that would work well with Fall season. We ended up going with Yellow Freesia & Blue Delph. Bouquets, bouts, and hair piece Tami had put together were so beautiful!! She was also very sweet and had a welcoming personality both via e-mail and in person! Thanks to Tami for making our wedding flowers absolutely perfect for our day :) I would definitely work with her again and would recommend her flower service to anyone looking for florist in the Central Coast area!

My flowers were absolutely beautifully done. Tami had to travel 6 hours to deliver and execute my flowers. She did it flawlessly!
There were several flowers that I wanted, that were not in season; but to my greatest appreciation Tami made it happen.
Tami is a true professional, you would not be disappointed if you hired her! Thank you Tami for making my wedding beautiful :)

Tami at Fleur-Very Pretty Flowers is an amazing florist...so much so that I will be using her for my own wedding next year! I brought her a picture of a bridal bouquet that I really loved, then all I had to do was sit back and watch her put together a package that was exactly what I envisioned. She is so much fun, very energetic, and obviously loves what she does! I highly recommend her services!
