About this vendor
Bewilder aims to evoke our deep connection with nature on one of the most important days in our couple’s lives. In a time of promise making, as new families prepare to celebrate their love and bond with one another, we ensure that nature’s easeful beauty is a part of that life long connection.
As intermediaries with nature, it is our goal to craft one of a kind designs inspired by what makes each relationship unique. Communicating through color, form and texture to point out the perfection of a single blossom, or the grace of cascading tendrils, we are continuously awed by the materials we find and we want to share that awe with you.

Hired Larissa to do the florals for my small wedding and am so happy I did. I was drawn to her when I saw how she only works with local products. She listened to everything I wante...

I worked with Larisa for my wedding flowers: medium bride’s bouquet, boutonnière, centerpiece, and bud vases. Larisa was flexible with rescheduling my wedding date twice and adjust...
ing my order several times. My flowers were beautiful and whimsical, and I received so many compliments. The flowers in the bud vases were so healthy that they are still healthy nearly a week later! Highly recommend Larisa with Bewilder Floral.
We had an incredible experience with Bewilder Floral! We took advantage of The Leap and Larisa made all of the dreams we didn't know we had come true. She was gracious and respon...
sive throughout the process and a joy to work with. She and Pearl even made a trip to our venue in advance to check out the space, and made last-minute adjustments for all of the things we forgot about. The flowers were stunning, including a gorgeous chuppah (even though it was the middle of winter), and they even added a few flowers that smelled amazing. We cannot recommend them highly enough, Bewilder was outstanding. Book them immediately.
Larisa is just absolutely incredible. She and her team, we worked closely with Pearl as well, were so communicative, supportive and just knew our vision so well. From our first pho...
ne call, I knew that Bewilder was the one. Larisa is so thoughtful with her designs and gets her inspiration from the natural world, which is so perfect. Each detail was stunning, from the floral arrangements on the tables, to the flowers on the arch and photo booth area, to my perfect bouquet and bridesmaids bouquets, to the flower crowns. It was lovely and we highly, highly recommend Bewilder to anyone!
There is not enough nice words to say about Bewilder and their craft! We had a unique request in incorporating bougainvilleas as our central flower and we literally asked over 5 ot...
her vendors in the Bay Area and Sonoma/Napa county, and they all said it would not only be impossible to work with (since it wilts easily in the heat and that it's a thorny vine), but they wouldn't even consider it since those other florists didn't have a source to buy it from. We were very cautious and considered other flower options, but Larisa was confident that she would be able to pull it off. About a month prior, we saw her IG story of her working with bougainvilleas and we were excited that she prepared so early for it. We were very particular about which flowers to use and we were so happy to be able to incorporate everything from the bougainvilleas, monsteras, peonies, and also to small potted rentals for table decor.
Larisa and Pearl were a pleasure to work with and are very professional and sweet. They were very willing to work with our budget and all our last minute changes with table counts or revising where else we'd like our large displays. They stayed within the florist budget despite the changes and were always accommodating. On the day of, everything went as smooth as can be and the florals turned out beautifully. The pop of color in the bougainvilleas really added a unique touch and we are so glad Larissa convinced us that it was doable. Highly highly recommended. Thank you so much!
Larisa and her team did an absolutely beautiful job with the florals for our wedding. Larisa was really flexible and happy to provide multiple revisions to help us achieve our visi...
on within our budget. She had really good ideas on ways to achieve the greatest effect without breaking the bank. On the day of our wedding, Larisa and her team delivered and installed everything on time, and I didn't have to worry about a thing.
Not only was she well organized and easy to work with, her ability to manifest our vision into reality was beyond anything I could have asked for. I had a more conceptual idea of what I wanted, a "vibe" really, and I'm so glad I just trusted Larisa to do her thing to execute that. The florals fit so well with our venue and really tied the whole aesthetic of the day together. One of my friends remarked that my bouquet was like me incarnate in flowers - so it's safe to say Larisa hit the nail on the head.
Larisa is professional, kind and down to earth, and a true artist. She has admirable ideals, believing in sustainability and local, small business, and I'm so glad to support them. I would choose Bewilder Floral many times over, and highly recommend them!
Larisa was wonderful to work with. We gave her a few details about our vision and she fleshed it out beautifully, beyond what we imagined. We especially loved the "wild" style of t...
he flowers, especially with an outdoor wedding at a ranch. The flowers complimented the natural surroundings without losing any important details. Her communication was prompt and thorough. I highly recommend hiring Bewilder!

up on the day of with my bouquet it was so original and beautiful I almost cried. Thank you for providing the flowers for our wedding and for being such a great communicator and proactive partner.
Working with Larisa and Bewilder Floral was a dream! I had no idea what I wanted, but I sent Larisa the Mucha painting that we were using as inspiration for our wedding and let her...
take it from there. Doing so was the best decision I could have made! Based on photos of her work I knew I could trust Larisa to make my dreams come true, but when she showed up the morning of my wedding with my bouquet I was blown away! We had a very small budget and she was able to turn it into true art nouveau magic. Thank you Bewilder Floral!
Larisa and Bewilder Floreal team were absolute heaven to work with. They quickly understood our design concept and overall aesthetic direction, and were beyond creative and helpful...
. Working within our budget to fill the space in a thoughtful, beautiful manner. It was clear that they put a huge amount of attention and care into every little detail, with their work completely exceeding our expectations. It was very hard for me as an Interior designer to find someone that I would trust 100% to understand my style and would care as much as I did about my wedding day. I just told her to do whatever she wanted with the flowers and colors we chose and I was VERY impressed. Everything was so pretty! Larisa and her team were absolutely amazing and I could not recommend them more!
I initially planned to do the flower arrangements for our wedding on my own, but as the day drew nearer I realized that I would definitely be spread thin with both my husband’s fam...
ily and my family visiting from out of town in addition to all the other wedding prep and primping that needed to be done. The best man, as well as my husband, knew Larissa at Bewilder Floral and had given me her contact information in the event that we decided to book a florist after all.
In a panic one night over wedding preparation, my husband encouraged me to reach out to Larissa to see if she would be willing to work some of her magic for our wedding that was a month away. She responded to our inquiry quickly (within a day) and was able to work within our budget. Oh yea, the studio is in San Francisco, and our wedding was in San Diego – she was more than willing to help us and excitedly began brainstorming based on some details I had given her.
Connection or not, Larissa is one of the sweetest and most easy-to-get-along-with people I have ever met. Luckily our wedding was in the spring, so we had many options at our disposal, but she was keen to listen to the vision we had in mind and we encouraged her to run with whatever she thought would work best, keeping a few important blooms in mind – thistle and hydrangea.
Larissa was our favorite vendor to work with, beyond any shadow of a doubt. Prompt, tidy, easy to communicate with and truly gifted (the studio has an Instagram page – check it out!)

g party.
It was really important to us to have an event that is a reflection of our personalities and cultural backgrounds. Since I'm from Mississippi and Hiram's from California, we thought it'd be fun to have our respective state flowers — white magnolias and orange poppies. We received a bunch of proposals and quotes over a week or so and choose Bewilder Floral. The florist provided floral color options that perfectly complemented the look and feel of our venue and the wedding party's attire. She was able to balance her expertise with our original vision, even surprising us by inadvertently touching on Hiram's Puerto Rican roots by including some tropical floral inspirations.
During the time leading up to the wedding, we had a couple of changes in our wedding party roster and wanted some additional florals for the entry to the aisle, welcome sign garland, guestbook and gift tables. Bewilder Floral's staff accommodated these adjustments and confirmed details via their client portal. I loved the client portal they used as it helped make it easy to upload sketches, floor plans, and reference photos. It also let me keep track of previous revisions of our proposal/contract and pay schedule.
The day of the wedding, everything was lovely! My only regret is that I hadn't considered a bouquet preservation service for my flowers. However, the elegant arrangement will live on in memory and photos!
Larisa and her team are AMAZING, I wish I could give more than 5 stars! Florals were the one thing going into wedding planning that I went into knowing the look I would like to ha...
ve. I shared with Larisa that I had wanted lots of greenery and not many flowers or bright colors. After speaking with her more about my vision and what I liked, she made some suggestions and I knew right away she was going to make everything look great - and on the wedding day they definitely delivered! The bouquets and decorations were more beautiful than I had even imagined. Larisa was also extremely flexible in the face of some challenges. I had requested some yellow gold lanterns for our centerpieces and she purchased some upon that request. However, 2 days before our wedding, the venue informed us that their firecode had changed and in the end we wouldn't be able to use them. While I was on the border of a minor meltdown, Larisa handled it in stride and even offered to swap out my original centerpiece plans with a new one that would've cost more - but she did it at cost. I really cannot say enough about how wonderful this experience was, truly great to work with!
Larisa and her whole team at Bewilder Floral were wonderful! She put me at ease immediately with the first phone call and first meeting. She understood my vision and was very thoug...

ign florals, and centerpieces. Larisa completely got my vision on our first meeting and she was a dream to work with!
My bouquet was literally breathtaking. Everyone who saw it gasped - like you actually had to see it to believe it. It was GORGEOUS. Everything I ever dreamed of! My wedding vendors...
kept saying it was the most beautiful bouquet they had EVER seen and, and they have seen a lot! Larisa’s bouquets look like they’re growing somewhere in the wild, which is so lovely. My bridesmaid bouquets matched the color and description I asked for perfectly, and a couple of my bridesmaids even gingerly carried theirs on the plane home because they were so lovely. The girl who caught the bouquet I threw begged to keep it as well. Bewilder also did some simple corsages for our moms and bouts for dads, and a lovely tropical ceremony install that served as a nice backdrop on the oak tree where we got married.
Guests went out of their way to tell us how gorgeous the flowers were at our daughter and son-in-law's wedding! Working with Larisa was an absolute delight and completely stress fr...
ee because of her amazing personality and artistic talents, and professionalism in running her business.
From our first encounter we trusted Larisa and she exceeded all of our expectations including bringing to life specific visions our daughter had.
Our daughter and son-in-law also loved that Larisa sourced her flowers locally and recycled them to be enjoyed by hospice patients after the wedding.
The Bewilder flowers were hands down one of my favorite parts of our wedding! Larisa was truly amazing to work with through the whole wedding process. I had a very specific vision:...
California natives and interesting botanical flowers (Sarracenias, ferns, etc). Larisa perfectly captured it with the flowers! She was such a joy to work; always calm and positive. She went so above and beyond! Larisa came to the site visits and asked questions I never even considered, made meaning suggestions, and had a clear sense of not just the flowers but the flow of the whole day. Not to mention quickly and patiently responding to my crazy emails.
And, wow, the flowers! Bewilder has such an interesting aesthetic. So unique and creative. And most importantly, Bewilder makes a point to work with small sustainable flower farmers in the bay area. I was blown away by the flowers. Everyone at the wedding mentioned how beautiful they were. Larisa worked within our budget to not just design bouquets and boutonnieres, but made the whole day full of flowers from the ceremony to the last dance.
I cannot recommend Bewilder enough. A wedding can be stressful to plan (as I was to learn), but Larisa was so calm, patience, and confident that working with Bewilder on the flowers was one of the funnest and least stressful parts of planning the wedding. If you are looking for sustainable, stunning flowers and a team that is passionate and amazing, Bewilder is definitely the best choice.
Larisa went above and beyond all expectations while doing the florals for my wedding. We had a lot of last minute changes and she went out of her way to make sure she knew what was...
going on and was able to adapt with ease. We had rental companies cancel on us last minute, and she was able to provide new options for us to make sure our ceremony was just as beautiful as we ever dreamed. Everything turned out so amazing and I couldn't be happier! She was a pleasure to work with and communicate with.

Larisa was my wedding florist and the flowers were one of my favorite parts of the whole wedding this June 2017! I went for a wild, romantic theme with colors of white, gray, green...
with hints of light pinks and creams. The bouquets, centerpieces, aisle flowers, boutonnières, and hanging garland were all so lovely. Larisa is a sweet person who is very easy to work with. Prices were very reasonable too. I highly recommend going with Bewilder Floral. If I had to get married again (hopefully not!), I would definitely ask Larisa to do the flowers.
We couldn't be happier with Larisa's beautiful flower arrangements and candle decoration for our 1920s wedding theme. The communication was very smooth and she accommodated to a lo...
t of our own ideas as well as contributing her own. The whole event was elevated to another level by her talent and artistic taste. I love my bouquet so much that I think I couldn't stop holding it. The whole set of flowers and decor turned out to be more than what we have expected and she is such as pleasant person to work with! I highly recommend Larisa to new wedding couples!
Larisa is a joy to work with! She listened to my ideas, and really brought them to life!!!

m to life. I was worried about the waste from the flowers, but Larisa uses them as donations for a project she works on with local hospice centers. It meant a lot to me to know the flowers would continue bringing joy to others. I cannot thank Larisa enough, the flowers tied the whole day together!
