Highly Personalized & Artistic Wedding Florals
One of our greatest joys is getting to be a part of each client’s most special day. We know that planning your wedding should be exciting, not stressful. But finding a florist who takes the time to understand your needs and your vision? That's where couples get stuck.
Your wedding should reflect your style, not a template or package. Whether you want whimsical garden style, bold and ornate, or something more intimate, we will carefully personalize every part of your florals. No packages. No formulas. Simply wedding flowers that are curated and created just for you.
We’re trusted for full wedding services in Ventura County & Los Angeles County. Our flowers have been featured in Style Me Pretty & California Wedding Day.
Your Vision Brought to Life
Every couple sees their perfect day differently. Maybe you want pastel colored blooms, soft textures and accents of white roses. Or perhaps a dramatic installation with dark anemones and branchy textures. Whatever speaks to you, our team has three decades of experience in making it happen!
We don’t just take time to understand colors and flowers, but rather the feeling you're after. What moments matter most to you? What vibe do you want your guests to experience? That's how we design timeless florals that match your vision, and make your day feel exactly right.
We Know Ventura and Los Angeles County Wedding Venues
We've worked at many wedding venues across the region from Calamigos Ranch and Four Seasons Westlake Village to the Houdini Estate and Maravilla Gardens. We know these venues (and more) well, we know their teams, and what florals fit best there! This means your flowers will look stunning and the setup will go smoothly, no surprises, no additional stress. When you work with our locally aware team, you get peace of mind. We understand timing, logistics, and how to work seamlessly with your venue and planning teams.
What Our Wedding Clients Say
Ooldouz and the English Garden team were a dream! We started talking about a year before the wedding and she was so thorough with the various details needed for the event, whether decorations or bouquets, flower crowns, etc. Some of my preferences changed over the course of our talk and she was able to incorporate them seamlessly.
I would tattoo pictures of my bouquet on myself if I could because they looked THAT beautiful! If you’re hesitating on hiring The English Garden for your floral needs, don’t. With Ooldouz you’ll be in both safe and talented hands.
I hired Ooldouz from The English Garden for my early Fall wedding and it was one of the best decisions I made. Ooldouz took my vision and made it even more beautiful & perfect than I imagined. Not only that, Ooldouz and her team are some of the sweetest people you'll ever meet. She was there every step of the way and made the experience feel so special.
Meet Ooldouz, Our Lead Designer
Ooldouz brings a rare mix of artistic floral expertise and a keen photographer's eye. Trained at the FlowerSchool New York, and holding a Master’s Degree in Photography from the School of Visual Arts, she understands not just flowers, but how to shape them into unforgettable moments through form, color, and composition.
Her work has attracted clients like Ralph Lauren, Cartier, Disney, and Tiffany & Co., and delivered upscale weddings and events at top venues like the Bel-Air Bay Club and JW Marriott LA Live. Drawing from her Persian heritage and a love of airy, expressive design, Ooldouz creates florals that feel both timeless and playfully fresh.

FAQ: Questions You Might Have
When should we book our wedding florist?
We recommend at least booking 6-12 months before your wedding date. Popular dates (especially April through October) fill up fast. If you're planning something in the next few months, reach out, we may still have availability.
What flowers are best for weddings?
The best wedding flowers depend on your season, style, and budget. Roses and peonies are timeless classics. Ranunculus, and anemones work beautifully for some whimsy. For modern or dramatic looks, consider dahlias, orchid blooms, or textrual varieties like protea.
We always recommend choosing seasonal blooms. They’ll be fresher, more affordable, and photograph beautifully. During your consultation, we can suggest flowers that match your vision and wedding date, as well as plan for any seasonality.
What is a reasonable price for wedding flowers?
Most couples in Ventura, OC and Los Angeles spend between $3,500-$8,000 on wedding flowers. Smaller weddings (under 75 guests) with simple needs might start around $2,500-$3,500. Larger weddings (150 guests or more) with more elaborate designs typically range from $8,000-$15,000+. Your final cost depends on guest count, flower choices, design complexity, and how many areas need florals (ceremony, cocktail hour, reception, etc.).
Is $500 enough for wedding flowers?
$500 might typically cover basic personals such as a bridal bouquet and a few bridesmaid bouquets, but won't include ceremony or reception florals for a full wedding. If you have a smaller budget, we can suggest alternatives like focusing your florals on key moments (bridal party or head table). Let's talk about what's most important to you and we'll create options that work!
What flower symbolizes marriage?
Many flowers carry wedding symbolism. Roses represent love and romance. Peonies symbolize prosperity and happy marriage. Calla lilies mean devotion and commitment. That said, the most meaningful choice is flowers that speak to you personally whether for their colors, personal significance, or evoked memories.
Can you work with our wedding budget?
Yes. We believe every couple deserves beautiful flowers. During your consultation, we'll ask about your budget and design ideas that maximize impact while respecting your numbers.
What if the flowers I want aren't seasonally available?
We source from multiple growers and always have backup options. If a specific flower isn't available, we'll find something similar that achieves the same look and feel.
Do you only do full-service weddings?
We focus on full-service to give you the best experience, but we're flexible. If you need just ceremony flowers or wedding party personals, let's talk and see if we're a good fit.
What local areas do you serve?
We deliver throughout Ventura County (Westlake Village, Thousand Oaks, Camarillo, Oxnard, Ventura), Santa Barbara County, Orange County, and Los Angeles County (Malibu, Calabasas, West LA, Downtown). If your venue is outside these areas, contact us, we often make exceptions for special locations!
What happens after I book my consultation?
You'll receive a confirmation email, and if you haven't already filled one out a short questionnaire about your wedding. This helps us prepare for our conversation! After the consultation, you'll get your custom proposal usually within 5-7 days.
How far in advance do you need my final guest count?
We ask for your final guest count about 4 weeks before your wedding, but the earliest you can confirm this the better! This helps us order the right amount of flowers and plan centerpiece quantities accurately. Small adjustments closer to your date are usually fine, but significant changes may affect pricing.
Do you provide flowers for rehearsal dinners or brunches?
Yes! Many couples want flowers for pre-wedding events and post-wedding gatherings. We can coordinate all your floral needs for an entire wedding weekend! Just mention this during your consultation so we can include it in your proposal.
