welcome to my garden
It doesn't get much fresher than hand picked the day before your wedding.
I grow specialty cut flowers in my small front yard in North Park, San Diego. I grow a curated selection of flowers, all of which are geared toward event design.
By choosing Front Yard Florals, you are choosing garden grown. Each bloom is loved and cared for from seed to ceremony.

welcome to my garden
I would be honored to be considered for your special day. My style is whimsical and wildflower inspired. I want every bride to feel that her bouquet was just gathered from my garden.
I arrange with whatever is the most lovely in my garden at the time, so while I work with general color palettes, there is a certain degree of flexibility that needs to exist.
With that being said...
Let's talk flowers, and let me take you on a journey while we watch your wedding flowers grow! While we never know what will flourish and what will flop each growing season, by trusting me with your flowers, you can get to know your florals on a more intimate level.

There's just something about locally grown flowers. In my garden, I battle pests, I contest with the seasons, and so each stem has a story.
I love my blooms with every inch of my being. And I think it shows.
I work with 100% locally grown blooms, most of which are grown in my cutting garden.
I utilize organic methods, and I arrange sustainably.

J&A
Heather was a dream to work with- let’s start with ethos and vibe. I was very adamant that reducing waste and trying to be environmentally conscious was an important factor for my wedding planning. So, how lucky was I to find Front Yard Florals with the same ethos. I knew it was going to be fit when she didn’t push back on repurposing pieces from the ceremony to the reception. Next, the communication leading up to the day. Wow- heather kept me on the loop throughout the growing process which felt so special and unique to me. To the main event- the florals were just STUNNING, we got so many compliments- and I as the bride was just blown away. They fulfilled my wildest dreams as a bride. I keep looking at pictures over and over and over again.

Heather was absolutely amazing! Our flowers were stunning, she really captured exactly what we had asked for and exceeded our expectations by far. We got so many compliments on our florals and how unique they were. Heather went above and beyond and was even able to create a boutonnière out of a clipping of a plant that was super special to the groom(he literally cried seeing it, that’s how perfect it was!) we are beyond happy with Heather and her work.

Heather at Front Yard Florals was initially recommended to us by our wedding coordinator and we couldn’t be more grateful! We began the planning process with Heather by discussing which flowers were in season around our wedding date to decide which seeds and bulbs she would grow (yes, GROW, such a romantic concept) for our wedding. But having never used a local/sustainable florist, we didn’t know exactly what to expect…What Heather created for our wedding was nothing short of an absolute dream and more than we could have ever hoped for. I wanted to drop dead when she delivered my bridal bouquet and we received SO MANY compliments about how stunning the flowers were. On top of being a literal artist when it came to these floral arrangements, Heather was a blast to work with. She responded quickly, was actually fun to talk to, and somehow helped us to turn our ideas into something beautiful and real. When it came to set up and strike, she really went above and beyond. From the bottom of our hearts, Heather, thank you thank you thank you for helping to make our wedding look so magical!

Having a micro wedding made finding florals very difficult, every place I found had a large minimum that didn’t fit my vision. Then I found Heather, reading the story of her own wedding felt very similar to what I wanted to create. My partner and I aren’t from San Diego, our wedding was at his mother’s house, so California-grown flowers were one of the most important aspects to me. Poppies were the goal. Heather showed up on my wedding day with bouquets centered around the most gorgeous Matilijas i’ve ever seen. She couldn’t make promises prior but she took my breath away when I saw them. I would recommend Heather to literally anyone, working with her was a dream, I had very little knowledge of florals just a few ideas and she brought everything to life and gave me guidance along the way while showing me the blooms as they grew. I can’t wait to watch her business grow and hope to find a reason to use her again!!!

I cannot say enough amazing things about Heather and her flowers. I was referred to Heather by a friend of mine who had her florals done by her for her wedding and I am forever grateful for Heather. From the minute I messaged her about my vision I knew I picked the right person. She immediately knew what I wanted and brought my vision to life. The entire process was so fun.. seeing the seeds planted all the way to seeing them at my wedding. Heather is by far one of the sweetest people I have ever met and had the privilege of working with. (I want to throw more events just to work with her)
She is so kind and went above and beyond for me. We did 5 bridesmaids bouquets, bridal bouquet, 60+ bud vases for center pieces, a boutonniere, and a sweetheart table piece that blew me away. I cried when she walked in and handed me my flowers. They were STUNNING!!! She made sure all of my questions were answered and never made me feel like I was asking too much. We received so many compliments on the florals at the wedding and I can confidently say that working with Heather was my favorite part of wedding planning. You will be in AMAZING hands when you work with and trust Heather. It is evident how much time and love she puts into her flowers and those around her.
Thank you Heather for everything you did for me and ensuring that my wedding florals were everything and more!!
