Monterey & Santa Cruz Wedding Florist

Wedding flowers for Carmel, Big Sur, Monterey and Santa Cruz, designed by a florist who grew up here.

Brittany is from here.

Brittany was born and raised in Monterey County, Golden Flowers began in Lake Tahoe, and Monterey is now our second home base for floral design. We design weddings from Santa Cruz down to Big Sur.

It's the same studio and the same team couples hire in Tahoe, with the same way of working. Every design is planned months ahead, built around what's in season on your date, and set by the people who designed it.

Monterey Peninsula

Monterey, Carmel-by-the-Sea, Pacific Grove and Pebble Beach.

Carmel Valley

Ranches, vineyards and gardens in the valley, a short drive inland from Carmel.

Big Sur

The coast south of Carmel, from Point Lobos all the way down to Big Sur.

Santa Cruz County

Santa Cruz, Capitola, Aptos and the Santa Cruz Mountains.

How we design for the coast.

Built for the wind

Clifftop and ocean view ceremonies often catch a strong breeze. Arches and installations are built and anchored for it, so they hold their shape through the last dance.

Made for soft light

Coastal light is soft, and the fog can roll in by late afternoon. We choose colors and textures that still read beautifully in grey light, not only in full sun.

Sourced close by

We buy from growers in Watsonville, Salinas and other California farms first, and source further afield only when a design calls for it.

Foam-free, as always

Every design is foam-free, on the coast the same as in the mountains.

Questions

Is Golden Flowers based in Monterey?
Brittany was born and raised in Monterey County, and we're opening our second studio in Monterey for the 2027 wedding season, alongside our home in Lake Tahoe. We design weddings across Monterey and Santa Cruz counties, from Santa Cruz and the Santa Cruz Mountains down through Carmel and Big Sur.
Where do your flowers come from?
We buy from growers in Watsonville, Salinas and other local and regional California farms first, and grow a small plot of specialty cut flowers ourselves. If a design calls for something that doesn't grow here, we source it deliberately and tell you.
Do you charge a travel fee?
Not for Monterey County weddings, Carmel, Carmel Valley and Big Sur included.
Can you work with our planner and venue?
Yes. We coordinate directly with your planner and the venue's events team on timing, load-in and setup, and we design for the specific spaces you're using.
How far in advance should we reach out?
Peak summer and fall Saturdays fill 12–18 months ahead, so reach out early when you can. If your date is sooner, reach out anyway and we'll let you know our availability.

What it costs.

Pricing works the same way here as everywhere we work. Every proposal is custom, built around your guest count, your venue and your vision.
