About

Hi, my name is Margaret Joan Lloyd. I created Margaret Joan Florals to provide unique and inspiring floral arrangements for your special events and celebrations.

I love beautiful gardens and enjoy creating natural looking arrangements. I like bold flowers, textural seeds, scented leaves, curving vines, mossy branches and striking succulents, but I also like the simplicity of an arrangement comprised of a single botanical. I am inspired by each season’s bounty and utilize locally sourced flowers whenever possible.

I have the creative style and skills that are essential in translating your dreams into the floral experience that you are envisioning. I am a California Certified Florist with 15 years experience in retail floral and event design, and a Chapel Designer specializing in wedding design. I am a member of Las Floralalias, a Santa Barbara based Western Style flower club, and I am a student of Ikebana. Fashioning the floral designs to complement the theme and colors for your event is important in creating the right ambiance.

Working within your floral budget, while accomplishing your wishes, is my goal.

STUNNINGLY beautiful wedding florals

Margaret was such a pleasure to work with from start to finish. She listened intently to my ideas, helped me pull together a creative vision while sticking to my budget, and delivered beyond my wildest dreams. Her florals absolutely made our wedding - I can't even put into words how gorgeous they were, and how exactly in line they were with the vision we had discussed. She is warm, communicative, and absolutely wonderful to work with - I'd recommend her over and over again.

So glad we chose Margaret!

Margaret is an absolute gem! We hired her back in 2019 for our wedding, and what set her apart for me is that she didn't require a minimum, offered very straight forward pricing, and she sources local and seasonal florals. Throughout the process, she listened to our suggestions, took all the other elements of our wedding into account, and came up with a perfect plan for florals for our rooftop wedding at MOXI in March of 2020.

Unfortunately our wedding got cancelled just a week before due to COVID-19, but Margaret was incredibly understanding and supportive throughout the rescheduling process. We made the tough decision a few months ago to postpone our wedding again by an entire year, but when we told Margaret we wanted to still get officially married on our original postponement date, she was genuinely thrilled for us and was completely on board to create separate arrangements for our smaller wedding.

Since we didn't have the budget to bring in rentals and other vendors for a whole separate wedding (we had already paid for everything for our postponed wedding), we relied on Margaret to visually create an aisle and altar for our outdoor ceremony using potted floral arrangements and scattered rose petals. She was also able to set up the same arrangements at our outdoor dinner at Convivo, and it worked out perfectly.

Margaret worked pure magic on our wedding day, and this time it was all planned in less than two months! Everyone LOVED my bouquet and the other arrangements, and they kept asking who our florist was :) We're so happy and thankful for the extra beauty that she added to our day, and we're so excited to work with her again for our wedding reception next year!

A dream come true!

It was an absolute delight working with Margaret for my wedding. She is a true talent, insanely creative, and oh so kind! As a fellow creative, I came to her with a vision -and a tight budget- and she worked with me offering excellent tips and suggestions for how best we could achieve the look I desired without compromising my aesthetic. She listened to my ideas and executed them more beautifully than I ever could have imagined; I could tell that she really cared about getting everything just right for me. As a lover of florals, my expectations were high - Margaret far exceeded my expectations!

Thank you for making my floral dreams come true, Margaret - i'm forever grateful!!!

Couldn't have done it without Margaret!

Having Margaret as my florist made our wedding a success. She was extremely professional, patient, kind, and talented. She even handled the decor for the tables, which was one less thing (big) for me to worry about. She made sure the look of the whole event, from ceremony site, to cocktail hour, to dinner was cohesive and beautiful. Margaret was extremely professional and responsive during the planning process as well as the day of. Thank you Margaret! Our day would not have gone as well without you.

Margaret made our wedding a thousand times more beautiful than I could have imagined. I’m admittedly not well versed in flowers - and didn’t really know where to begin with what to ask for. We knew we wanted to use our love of craft beer (and our own growlers) as well as our location on the water as inspiration. Margaret knocked it out of the park and then some. I was shocked when I walked into my own wedding at how lovely everything looked. It was done with attention to detail and incredible thoughtfulness. I am forever grateful to her for giving us so much within our tight budget. And on top of all of that - she’s totally lovely (she helped me with my train before I went down the aisle). Highly recommend!

Margaret is so special and so spectacular, and her flowers and floral design is just breathtaking. Her eye for beauty is above and beyond anything we could have ever expected or dreamed of with the floral creations she provided for our dream wedding. She listened to every detail of what I had envisioned for my bridal bouquet and wedding party flowers as well as table and room decor, asked questions, and made me feel very important to her and not just like a business. When we think back on our special day we will always remember how beautiful it was, all thanks to Margaret and her talent, dedication, and hard work. I wish I could get married again and again so I could always be surrounded by Margaret’s arrangements!! Thank you so much Margaret for making our wedding day so gorgeous and dreamy, you will truly be in our hearts for the rest of our lives. Words can not describe how highly we would recommend her services!!

I could not be happier with how the florals turned out for my wedding. Margaret completely understood my vision and made it 100 percent better. She made the whole ceremony and reception look like a romantic garden with trailing vines, big garden roses, and small bud vases throughout the tables. It was more than I could have ever hoped for. I loved all of it, especially my bouquet which smelled divine!
