EmmaRose Floral will provide custom floral arrangements for private venues, weddings and events, in addition to providing floral direction for photoshoots, and estate floral arrangements.
Emma’s passion for flowers started at a very young age. As a girl, she used to explore the neighborhood picking the neighbors’ flowers and creating arrangements for her mother. It didn’t occur to her that she could make it her full time occupation. ‘I was in corporate technology sales for ten years and did well at it, but I was not passionate about it,’ Emma points out. The concept of becoming a full time florist just seemed right; and the timing lined up perfect with Emma’s move back to Santa Barbara after a long time away living in her native state of Georgia. Her focus is a commitment to the highest quality and design through unwavering attention to detail. Apprenticing under a top local florist / designer, Emma has had the opportunity to refine her God given talent and compete with the best in the business. When Emma is not designing she spends her time with her 3 dogs hiking Santa Barbara’s local trails and beaches.
