About

Papillon Floral Design is a wedding florist based in Santa Rosa, California.

About Us...

Papillon Floral is a floral design studio and retail shop in the heart of Santa Rosa's SOFA historic arts district. We provide a range of services spanning full-service weddings, an a la carte menu, events of all kinds, and other projects such as our specialty dried flower installations. Our motto is "art over assembly line," and our wonderfully talented team, led by owner and founder Olivia Rivas, crafts cohesive and detailed works of art in the signature Papillon style.

What We Stand For...

Hand in hand with artistry in floral design is the quality of ingredients. Papillon is a member of the Slow Flowers Society, and we believe that the best quality flowers are local and seasonal. Whenever possible, we source our ingredients from local farmers right here in Sonoma County. If we must outsource from other vendors, we vet each flower for freshness and choose in-season varieties. We are a foam-free florist and use alternative methods for mechanics that are kinder on the earth. Papillon Floral is Latina-owned and queer/POC-managed. We are eager to work with all couples and want BIPOC and the LGBTQIA+ community to know you're welcome and wanted here.

Are We the Right Florist for You...

Our clients choose to work with us because they love our models of sustainability, our commitment to sourcing local/seasonal materials, our use of color and unique palettes, and our signature style of floral design. We aim to create a look that is wild, garden-like, romantic, free, and artistic. This may not be for everyone, and that's okay! We just ask that you take a look at our Instagram first to make sure our style meshes with your dream wedding flowers.

Our Full-Service Weddings...

We started out as a full-service wedding florist, and we love being able to work with couples in detail as we create a truly customized, cohesive work of art for you. This service includes a lot of communication, customization, alterations, options, and delivery/setup/installation on the day of your wedding.

Our A La Carte Service...

For elopements, courthouse weddings, backyard weddings, or more intimate gatherings, our A La Carte service might be just right! This option is wonderful for those who don't need customization, consultations, or day-of setup/installation. You pick items off the menu, choose between 4 color/feel options, and let us do what we do best! You may choose to either pickup at our shop, or have us deliver to your wedding site (delivery fee depends on distance from our storefront and number of pieces).

Thank you for your interest in our wedding service! If you'd like to inquire further, please fill out our inquiry form on our website and we'll get back to you with more information.

Amazing, perfection!

Olivia and crew were absolutely phenomenal and such a pleasure to work with. They executed every detail, were extremely flexible, and made our special day that much more perfect. I LOVED the communication throughout the process, which helped keep me calm and reassured me of our choices. Olivia is one of the kindest souls. Thank you so much! ❤️

Amazing and professional!

Papillon did the florals for our wedding (which included an arch, flower crown, and statement piece…) and they were beautiful! They had excellent communication the whole way through and executed everything perfectly. Highly recommended!

Wedding bouquets

We ordered two bouquets and a handful of boutonnieres for our small Covid-safe wedding in May. I never actually spoke to Olivia, but she executed my vision perfectly! Our bouquets turned out gorgeous and hung out to dry beautifully! Highly recommended!

Olivia goes above and beyond! She easily put our vision together and everything exceeded our expectations. Gorgeous arrangements and the arch was the star of the show!

I loved working with Olivia! I met with three other florists and felt like I wasn't being heard and that my vision for the day wasn't getting through. My meeting with Olivia was short, sweet and she worked with our budget and gave us exactly what we wanted (and more!). I didn't want a giant bouquet, I didn't want a ton of color. I wanted lacy, light baby's breath and boy did she deliver. I had guests begging to take floral pieces home (for a destination wedding...that's impressive!) and friends writing be asking for details on how the centerpieces and garlands were made. Sometimes keeping things simple is hard for vendors who need 'flash' and 'pizzaz' to carry their work-- Olivia's creations stood on their own and were the most beautiful florals I have ever seen! I always felt like Olivia was in my corner, she was gutsy, funny and I know she worked a lot to make things happen behind the scenes.

Stop everything you are doing. Book Olivia and her team for your wedding. When I think back to our wedding, I think back to the FLOWERS. My goodness, the magic that Olivia produced for us required a special kind of talent, care, dedication to her art and commitment to her clients that I've never really seen before. My bridal bouquet was more stunning than I could have imagined, I'm so glad I have photos of it. The centerpieces were elegant, tasteful and complimented by guests (seriously though, who compliments centerpieces?!). She provided flowers for my hair that were delicate, lasting and stunning (she chose white orchids with a touch of yellow). She told me she'd throw a couple of vines around our welcome sign, but when i saw it, the sign was careful adorned with vines and delicate flowers. My advice to you, is to share your vision with Olivia (the feel, aesthetic, color palette), and let her run with it. I promise you'll love the result.

Highly recommend Papillon Floral Design!! Olivia was an absolute joy to work with - she thoughtfully listened to what we were envisioning for flowers at our wedding and then executed exactly what we hoped for and more. Everything was gorgeous and she reminded me of those details that end up having so much impact. One of my favorite things was the floral garland that ran along the middle of the head table. Beautiful! I also asked for flowers for my hair and she provided the most gorgeous orchids, conveniently attached to clips so the hair stylist could easily place them in my hair. Olivia was also very flexible and considerate in working through our budget with us and recommending what we could repurpose. Our experience with Papillon was phenomenal!

Olivia is absolutely amazing!!! Not only is she so incredibly talented, professional and beyond accommodating but she is generous and kind - she is the kind of vendor that you just want to be friends with! She made our wedding day bright, colorful and incredibly beautiful.

To get into the nitty gritty. Her flowers were clearly fresh, well cleaned and taken care of - my bouquet still had life in it at the end of the night which (as a wedding planner) I know is hard to come by. The white flowers were still white - they often tend to brown on the edges after hours in the sun. From the ceremony gazebo, to the escort card garland to the cascading floral garland on our head table - everything was out of this world! Our wedding floral surpassed all of our expectations!

Thank you, thank you, thank you Olivia for being so incredibly amazing at what you do!

Olivia was amazing to work with for my wedding on 10/10/15. I called her during the summer because I began panicking at the thought of not having a wedding coordinator and I needed some guidance with design, style, and of course, flowers. When I first spoke with Olivia on the phone, she was calm, cool, and collected and guided me through the process of choosing a color palette. I knew that Olivia was the one at that moment because she took the time to help me even though this was our first phone call and no contracts created yet! Olivia continued to help me throughout my wedding planning and really helped me stay on my budget. She puts her heart into her work and truly wants what is best for her clients to make their day perfect. On the day of my wedding, every guest was gushing at her flowers and design style. The day after the wedding everyone was still admiring all the flowers and could not stop talking about how beautiful our wedding looked. Any bride would be lucky to work with Olivia! Thank you, Papillon Floral!
