Working with us

Full-service wedding flowers.

Every couple works directly with our owner, Brittany, from the first consultation through setup and breakdown. She designs alongside some of the region's best florists, and the people who plan your wedding are the same people who build it.

How it works

From first conversation to the end of the night.

You work with Brittany from the first call to the last centerpiece. One couple, one date, complete attention: a process built around feeling heard rather than handed a catalog.

01
Today · no commitment

Check your date

Tell us your date and venue and we'll confirm it's still open. Availability is the first thing we check. It takes about a minute.

02
Complimentary

The consultation

If your date is open, we sit down (by call or studio visit) to learn your venue, vision, palette, and guest count. It's free and there's no obligation; we both want to know it's the right fit.

03
If we're a fit · held 7 days

Proposal & a held date

When it feels mutual, Brittany builds a custom proposal: mood board, itemized estimate, and seasonal sourcing plan. We hold your date for 7 days while you review, so you can decide without losing it.

04
To lock it in

Deposit to secure your date

Ready to proceed? A signed agreement and a non-refundable retainer, applied toward your balance, secure your date in full. From here, the date is officially yours.

05
30–60 days out

Refinement

As your final count, layout, and timeline settle, we refine the design and lock your stem list around what's at peak that week. Your remaining balance is due 30 days before the wedding.

06
Wedding week & day

Delivery, setup & install

We source, gather, and design in the days before, then deliver, set, and install on-site, coordinating with your venue and planner so the timeline runs without you lifting a finger.

07
End of the night

Repurposing & strike

After the ceremony we can repurpose pieces from the aisle to the reception, and at the end of the night our team returns for a full strike: breakdown, removal, and cleanup.

What's included

Full-service means all of it.

Bridal & party florals

Bridal bouquet, bridesmaids, boutonnieres, flower crown, corsages: all designed as a cohesive system.

Ceremony installation

Arch, altar arrangement, aisle florals, or hanging installation, designed for your specific venue and ceremony setup.

Reception centerpieces

Table arrangements designed to work at scale in your space: low-profile, elevated, or dramatic, based on your vision and room.

Environmental florals

Cocktail-hour arrangements, bar florals, lounge pieces, escort-card styling, and any other environmental design.

Setup & breakdown

We coordinate with your venue and planner, handle full setup on the day, and break down and remove everything at the end of the night.

Mood board & proposal

A visual design document and itemized proposal before you commit to anything. You know exactly what you're getting, and why.


Investment

$12,000–$18,000

Typical 100-person Lake Tahoe wedding

Locally-grown flowers, refined floral artistry, and a design curated around your day.

When it matters most

What happens if something goes wrong?

A wedding day has no do-overs, so we plan like it, with backups in place for the things that matter most and a team deep enough to absorb surprises. You learn what a florist is really made of on the morning something doesn't go to plan.

"We had a floral emergency on the morning of the wedding. Without any prior consultation, they nailed it. Our bouquets were exactly what the bride wanted. 10/10."

What couples say

Loved by couples across the Sierra.


Seasonal flowers

What's growing for your date.

California's seasons produce dramatically different palettes: ranunculus and anemone in spring, garden roses and dahlias in summer, rich harvest tones in fall. Your proposal is built around what will be at peak on your date.

Frequently asked questions

What makes Golden Flowers different?

What actually makes you different?
Four specific things most florists can't say: We grow our own flowers on our California farm. We never use floral foam. We intentionally book a limited number of weddings per season, so your wedding day gets our full team from start to finish. And our founder Brittany is an artist and an agronomist, which means her design decisions are rooted in how plants actually grow.

Most florists source from the same wholesale importers and build the same kinds of arrangements. We work with what the California land is producing at peak, and we design around that. The result is florals that feel grounded, seasonal, and specific to the Sierra Nevada landscape where your wedding is happening.
What does "fewer weddings, more time on yours" actually mean?
Most wedding studios book every date they can and staff up to produce them. We do the opposite. We cap our calendar each season, which means your wedding gets weeks of sourcing and design work, instead of a slot on a production line. Brittany is heavily involved in each wedding. When we say more time on yours, we mean her time, specifically.
Why does it matter that you're foam-free?
Floral foam is a plastic-based product that sheds microplastics into water and soil and never biodegrades. Most florists use it because it's easier and faster. We don't use it because it contradicts everything we care about: the environmental ethic of our farm-grown sourcing, the integrity of the flowers, and the land where your wedding is happening. Foam-free arrangements require more skill to build. We've invested in that skill. Your flowers will look better for it and leave less impact on the place you love.
How far in advance should I reach out?
For popular summer and fall Saturday dates at venues like Edgewood, Palisades, or the National Exchange Hotel, we recommend reaching out 12–18 months in advance. Our calendar fills from the back forward, and peak dates go first. If your date is closer than 12 months away, reach out anyway. We'll tell you honestly what's available. We occasionally have openings for mid-week, off-season, or non-peak dates.
What does a full-service wedding florals investment typically look like?
Our full-service weddings typically range from $5,000–$25,000+, depending on scale. A typical 100-person Lake Tahoe wedding runs $12,000–$18,000. That includes everything: consultation, design proposal and mood board, ceremony installation, bridal and party florals, reception centerpieces, environmental florals, and full day-of setup and breakdown.

We build every proposal from scratch around your specific wedding, with no packages or minimums. After your consultation, you'll receive an itemized quote so you know exactly what you're paying for.
Can you work with my existing coordinator or planner?
Yes, always. We work closely with coordinators and planners at all the venues we serve. If you're working with a planner, they'll be looped in from the proposal stage so timeline, logistics, and setup are coordinated. We're experienced working within planner-led events and take our cues from whoever is running point on the day.
Do you travel outside of Lake Tahoe?
Yes. We work throughout the Sierra Nevada foothills and Gold Country, from Nevada City and Grass Valley to private estates across the region. The National Exchange Hotel, Miner's Foundry, and private ranches in the foothills are all part of our regular service area. Travel outside our primary service area may involve a travel fee, which we'll include in your proposal.
What if I'm not sure which aesthetic I want?
That's what the consultation is for. Bring whatever references you have: Pinterest boards, photos, a vibe description, an outfit. We're very good at translating what someone means from what they show us. We'll help you identify the aesthetic direction and show you examples of our work in that register. Many couples come in with "I like moody but also clean?" and leave with a crystal-clear vision.

You can also browse the portfolio by aesthetic before your consultation to get your bearings.
