WE PROVIDE FULL SERVICE FLORAL DESIGN THAT INCLUDES ALL FLOWERS AND FOLIAGES, TABLE-SCAPE DECOR, DELIVERY, SET UP, TRANSFERS, TEAR DOWN, CLEAN UP, AND MORE.
Our goal is to allow you relax while we provide everything needed to make your floral dreams a reality.
We love a good celebration! We understand that each type of event has it’s own distinctive character and needs. From much anticipated weddings, to grand Mitzvas to corporate branding - we would be honored to work with you to bring your vision to life!
Our floral designs are based on your unique vision - we don’t subscribe to one particular style, but instead mold our creative abilities to fit your aesthetic. This allows us to provide a much more customized experience for your event. Our main goal is to make sure that your event is an experience to remember!

If you have already begun work with another production team, we would be more than happy to provide your floral designs alongside that vendor to execute a flawless event, although we would always prefer to provide both production/styling and floral design services to keep the event the most cohesive as possible.
We do require that you enlist the services of a professional event planner for your event. If you are still in search of a planner or manager, we would be honored if you would consider our sister company, House of Palm Events although this is never required. We firmly believe in cooperation over competition within our industry - our priority is that each and every client is beyond happy and their event is seamless, totally cohesive, and executed to perfection.
DETAILS & INVESTMENT
We are your beauty curators.
Gorgeous table-scapes overflowing with blooms, are our passion!
We are a team of artists who have a great attention for detail and love working with clients who cannot do without lush florals. If florals are last on your list and they don’t matter much to you - we are not the right team for you. We only work with the highest quality blooms and stop at nothing to source unique rentals & beautiful vessels. We carry a plentiful & varied inventory full of candle holders, compote bowls, urns, arch options, and more. We also offer custom renderings and can fabricate one-of-a-kind items to enhance your event and take it to the next level. When crafting events, an immersive & luxurious experience is our goal. Our team will ensure that each bloom is in place, every candle is lit, and every stray leaf is swept.
Each one of our events is unique - and we don’t do ordinary - and neither should you. We understand that this is one of the most significant days in your life and we will work tirelessly to execute your vision through the art of floristry.
In order to create an event of the highest caliber, a Cactus & Palm client can expect to invest a minimum of $6,000 - $8,000 in San Diego County, and $8,000+ outside of the county. If our destination is outside of San Diego County or your event is considered a “destination” wedding - additional expenses may be required for lead designer and assistant(s) lodging, transportation, and meals.
OUR PROCESS
Floral Design
-
The experience begins with us asking you to gather some information to share with us. A photo from Pinterest, maybe a magazine clipping, fabric swatch, or maybe even a line from a favorite song - any of these can be used as inspiration - we want to know about all of them! After receiving these items, a brief text or email to talk through budget and overall needs will start this process. We want to ensure that we are the best fit for your special event.
Next, we’ll schedule a more in-depth session to get to know you further, your personality, vision, inspiration, and needs will be discussed in detail. This consult would be either be by phone, in-person, or by a Zoom call (if out of the area) lasting approximately one hour. We are wine lovers and have the best time getting to know our clients at an intimate wine bar or even the cocktail lounge of a fine hotel while snacking on happy hour small bites. If you aren’t into wine, we love coffee, cheese & cocktails too! The 3 C’s!
-
Once we have both concluded that we are a good fit, we take all of our research as well as the information that you have given us, to prepare a customized price quote & proposal complete with item descriptions, color palette, inspiration photos, and investment information. A contract will follow for you to sign, along with deposit payment methods. 30% of our design & labor fees will be required to book with us - this fee is non-refundable. A signed contract acts more as a place marker as we do not limit emails, calls, revisions, or meetings with us. We know that ideas & inspiration may change along the way and therefore may warrant a style and design adjustment.
Once contracted, we can schedule additional meetings to continue to refine your designs and answer any questions you may have. Once we come to 4-6 weeks before your event, we will finalize your details and collect your balance in order to begin purchasing products and flowers.
-
On the day of your event, we arrive early, before the festivities start, to begin loading in and setting up. We will work with your timeline, and even offer adjustment suggestions if needed, to ensure that each space is set to perfection, candles are lit for optimum burn time, and lastly we will clean up anything that is not needed in the space. We generally stay through your ceremony to transfer & freshen-up flowers and clean up petals. Our strike crew will then return at the end of the event to retrieve rental items and clear floral debris.
