About

The concept for Petal began while I worked in a variety of flower shops in Southern California. I knew that I could use the techniques I learned and combine them with other elements in art and nature to inspire unique floral creations.

Petal opened it’s doors in the quant town of South Pasadena, California. Shortly after, Petal became the town’s premier florist.

In 2007 I welcomed my first child. Balancing the demands of a newborn and the demands of a flower shop became difficult to manage. I choose to move the business home focusing on weddings and events. This allowed me to continue doing the things I loved most in the world, raising my family and working with flowers.

The most beautiful weddings are the ones where the bride and groom’s sense of style shines. My goal is to help create your vision through my creativity and experience.

I look forward in assisting you create your memorable day.

One of My Favorite Florists

Having worked in the industry for over 10 years, I can say with confidence that Centia of Petal is one of the best florists I've ever worked with. She will go above and beyond to make your vision a reality! As a planner, I highly recommend!

Centia was amazing. i showed her some pictures I found on pinterest, and she made it happen. She worked with our budget and produced beautiful flower arrangements for our wedding. When we met to see the sample center pieces, she made two so we can choose. The theme of the wedding was 1920s/Great Gatsby, so she added some feathers to our bouquets which turned out really nice. She also made corsages with pearl bracelets, and both moms loved it. Everyone loved the flowers, and most got taken home by the end of the night. Highly recommend working with her!

Centia is great! A very nice person who does beautiful work. I was very pleased with all aspects of my experience. She came to my apt to do a sample and gladly changed things to my liking. She's a great florist!!!

Centia of Petal Floral was fantastic in every way. Her floral designs are creative and unique, beyond fresh. She worked with us to bring to fruition our very specific concept, using the containers we provided, to bring our vision to life. She not only decorated a large space in a limited amount of time, she picked up and delivered all the flowers after the wedding reception, so we could enjoy them at home without doing any work. Absolute perfection!

Booking Petal Floral was the smartest move I made! Petal was by far the best vendor that I booked and I can't recommend them enough.

Centia, the owner, is patient and flexible with fantstic style and taste. I brought my vision to her and together we worked on creative center pieces and the most beautiful arrangements for the altar. Throughout the stresful wedding planning process, working with Centia was my escape. She would respond to my emails immeditaly and always offered very honest feedback which I really appreciated.

We had created this amazing master plan for our wedding but on the day of the wedding, she blew our mind. Her bouqets, the corsages, the center pieces, everything was more stunning than we imagined!

The owner/designer for Petal went above and beyond, coming to the wedding location (our home and garden) to personally review the set up and make suggestions. She listened to what my daughter (the bride) wanted and presented the unique stylish suggestions we wanted. Her work is imaginative, sense of color impeccable -- and as if that isn't enough, she is charming, flexible, low-key in her suggestions. (We never felt pressured to do more than we wanted -- in fact, she made suggestions for keeping costs reasonable.)

Centia was the first and only florist to ask about my budget. After hearing my budget and my ideas, she told me she could work with that and make it beautiful for me. I was sold. Centia also worked with me when I changed my mind about certain things even up to a few weeks before the wedding. When she came over for the sample meeting, I was blown away. It was exactly what I wanted, and even my husband was impressed. I had originally thought to DIY most of the centerpieces, but I’m glad I went with Centia. The flowers were beautiful and I’m glad I chose her.

Petal is a cute flower shop in South Pas, though it is a bit expensive, considering what you get. My mom and I visited Petal to see about my wedding bouquet (my bridesmaids and flower girls carried scented, sewn flower balls) and the guys' boutonnieres, and the lady was very helpful in suggesting different options, as I didn't have a concrete idea for what I wanted. When she showed us a photo of lilies in a shade of red, I was sold. But on the day of my wedding when we picked up the bouquet, the lilies were a completely different hue that didn't match my red at all. (It made tossing the bouquet very easy.) Looking back, it really was unfortunate that I ended up unhappy with the place. The lady was very nice.
