About this vendor
We have been designing beautiful flowers for 15 years and counting. Our design sense conveys natural movement and organic style while showcasing both our artistry and the beauty of flowers and foliage. We love working with unique blooms, from lady slipper orchids and tropical leaves to lush peonies, ranunculus, soft dahlias or fragrant garden roses. We select fresh and high quality flowers and prefer seasonal, local grown and organically grown when possible, which not only look their best due to their proximity, but are even more beautiful because they are the best choice for the environment. We take great care in all our design and business practices to be as earth friendly as possible and are a green certified business.
“Gorgeous and Green is a dream come true, one of eco-friendly thoughts and creative wishes. We make gorgeous things, and the local community and the environment is carefully swaddled into those creations. It feels right.”

Pilar was wonderful to work with and created some absolutely beautiful floral pieces for our queer + colorful wedding! She created a few a la carte pieces for us: the bouquet of my dreams--it was truly the standout accessory of my whole outfit--incorporating some special requests like the purple color of my spouse's suit and my favorite flower, sunflowers. She also created a coordinating flower crown that made me feel like a flower queen, plus a beautiful boutonniere for my spouse and pin-on corsages for our parents. We loved their local and sustainable focus. I'd work with Gorgeous and Green again in a heartbeat. Highly recommend!
Working with Pilar was a dream! She is a fantastic creative spirit and does a great job getting to know you and your preferences while still owning the design and execution. She did a great job bringing our "bright, cheerful, and modern" flower dreams to life for our wedding in Sonoma. I definitely recommend her for all your floral needs!
Pilar and her team were beyond amazing. They were prompt in their responses leading up to the wedding, incredibly knowledgeable about what flowers were in season and would work with our vision, and we had shared values over minimals waste and plastic-free design. They not only delivered the most beautiful flowers we could've imagined for our wedding, but were wonderful to work with. I couldn't recommend her more!!
If I could give 10 stars I would. Pilar brought my wedding floral vision to life and it was everything I dreamed of and more. She was kind, excited, and willing to take the time to create the whimsical and wild wedding I was looking for. 🍄💐💕
We used Gorgeous and Green for our flowers for our 25 person wedding in San Francisco in June. Pilar provided me with the most beautiful bridal bouquet I had ever seen. Seriously, it was spectacular. We did a small event order for 2 bouquets, centerpieces, boutonnières, corsages, and bud vases. Communication with Pilar was quick and easy, delivery was perfectly and on time, and the flowers were beyond gorgeous. We couldn't be happier and I definitely recommend you hire Gorgeous and Green for your wedding flowers!
I wish I lived just a few miles closer, so I could get weekly deliveries from Pilar. I had the privilege of having Pilar create and deliver my gorgeous and green (and every color of the rainbow) teardrop bridal bouquet, blush and lavender bridesmaid bouquets, corsages, and groom and best man boutonnieres on my wedding day. She delivered to my bridal suite perfectly on time despite the maze that our hotel was. I got to keep all the drama to myself, and my bridesmaids got to have gorgeous bouquets too!
Pilar did the MOST wonderful job with my wedding flowers! I ordered off the a la carte menu as I had a fairly small wedding and only needed the personals (bouquets, boutonnières, hair crown and corsages) and luckily the venue was close enough to have them delivered the day of. The delivery was right on time and my entire bridal party was floored with how beautiful they were, plus she even threw in some extra flowers for our cake set-up! We received so many compliments all night and they continued to look beautiful days after the event! I’m all about supporting local businesses and I loved that she uses only locally sourced and in season flowers. Truly lives up to the name Gorgeous and Green!
Simply beautiful! I highly recommend Gorgeous and Green. Pilar is detailed oriented and able to capture your floral visions. For our bohemian theme she achieved: an oversized bridal bouquet, bridesmaids flower crowns (adjustable & comfortable), and garlands. Professional, personable, and talented!
What a wonderful experience!! Pilar met with us in person to understand our inspirations, needs, and goals. She uses local flowers and greens and was able to advise us on what was seasonally blooming. It was such a wonderful result! The succulent bouquets were stunning and being able to transplant the succulents after the wedding made for a really sweet memory. The boutonnieres were perfectly sized and weighted to sit well in the men's jackets. Her execution was perfect both in style and skill. She was incredibly reasonably priced and it felt really good to support a local artist who also supports local growers. We loved her work and would highly recommend her to anyone!
