About Rose and Thorn Design
A sustainable San Francisco floral design studio creating with 100% California-grown, seasonal flowers, thoughtful design, and personal service.
Our Story
Rose and Thorn Design is an independent, LGBTQ-led floral studio located in San Francisco's Marina District. We believe flowers should reflect the seasons, support California growers, and be designed with intention.
Every arrangement is handcrafted in our San Francisco studio using 100% California-grown flowers. By designing every order in-house, we maintain a close connection to the flowers we source and careful attention to quality, freshness, and detail from the moment they arrive at our studio to the moment they reach their destination.
Our work extends from flower delivery throughout San Francisco to weddings and events, corporate floral design, Floral Memberships, sympathy flowers, and floral workshops. Whatever the occasion, every design is created with the same commitment to craftsmanship, sustainability, and personal service.
Our Design Philosophy
Natural movement. Seasonal materials. Intentional design.
Our floral style is inspired by nature, emphasizing movement, texture, seasonality, and botanical artistry rather than rigid, mass-produced arrangements.
Drawing on advanced European floral training, we combine technical design principles with California's extraordinary seasonal flowers to create work that feels natural, elegant, and timeless.
Every arrangement is individually composed rather than assembled from a standardized recipe, making each design unique to its flowers, setting, and purpose.
Why California-Grown Flowers?
100% California-grown. Seasonal by nature.
We design exclusively with California-grown, seasonal flowers, supporting flower farms and agricultural communities throughout the state while embracing what's naturally available throughout the year.
Sourcing closer to home reduces our reliance on flowers transported internationally and gives us a stronger connection to the growers behind the materials we use.
For Rose and Thorn Design, California-grown flowers aren't simply a sourcing preference. They're fundamental to our approach to sustainable floral design in San Francisco.
