Autumn Marcelle Design — Local services in Scotts Valley

My husband and I could not dream of having entrusted anyone other than Autumn with our wedding florals. From her professionalism down to her attention to detail, there was not a single step of the planning process that we were not completely blown away by Autumn and her work!

During the early phases of our wedding planning process, we had received 6 different floral proposals from various florists local to the Bay Area. Autumn's proposal blew every other company's out of the water! Coming in at 20 pages, her proposal outlined our color pallet and inspo photos for the conceptual design, the exact flowers (with pictures) she chose based on our vision, the exact vessels, candles, and candle holders she had in mind, and pricing for each bouquet, boutonniere, and arrangement.

Shortly after receiving her proposal, and prior to making our final decision on florist, I flew into San Fran on a last-minute work trip. I reached out to her literally as I was touching down at SFO to see if she was available to meet at our venue to go over design and vision. Autumn immediately dropped everything and met me on site within an hour! That alone earned our business - she was committed to us and our vision from the very beginning.

Throughout the planning process, Autumn ensured my husband I stayed involved in the decision making process, regularly sending options for different vessels, candles, candle holders, ribbon selections, and design preferences. On the week of the wedding, she asked if I would like updates as she arranged our florals to which I said OF COURSE! Daily she sent me the sweetest photos and videos of the bouquets, aisle arch, etc. which was the shining light pulling me through an incredibly stressful and busy final week of planning/travel!

We truly cannot speak highly enough about Autumn, her amazing work, her attention to detail, and professionalism throughout the entire process! Our wedding day went off without a hitch and it was SO FUN seeing her on the day of our wedding after 2 years of planning together! If you're on the fence with who to choose as your florist, make no mistake, Autumn is the absolute BEST and will ensure your vision comes to life down to every...

I'm a fine art wedding photographer and I've worked with Autumn both as a photographer and as a bride for my own wedding.

As a photographer: Her attention to detail and design aesthetic is amazing. The way she arranges the textures and colors in her floral installations are always so thoughtfully placed and it photographs beautifully. It's the little details like the dip in the left side of the arch where the bride is standing that frames the couple perfectly due to their height difference. Particularly Autumn's ability to use bold colors in elegant designs is inspiring as a photographer. I love photographing her designs.

As a bride: When it was time to plan my own wedding, even before I started, I knew Autumn would be doing my florals. Weddings are live events, with a lot of moving parts, selecting a team you can trust is so important. It allows you to truly enjoy the day. Due to Covid, I had to change my plans drastically in a short amount of time. I knew I could trust Autumn's talent because I had worked with her as a photographer before, what I didn't know was the level of care she provides her couples. During a stressful time, she made me feel at ease, even though as a wedding professional I knew how stressful a short turn around time could be for her. She cared about my experience as a bride. She listened to my design ideas and elevated them, taught me tips and tricks and created beautiful pieces. Her gold floral bracelets were a hit! ( a modern take on corsages) The floral designs were elegant and so tastefully crafted. Quite frankly, I wanted to have one :) Autumn thank you for your hard work and talent, I can't wait to photograph more of your stunning...

Autumn was our florist for our September 2022 outdoor wedding at Marin Art and Garden Center.

She was a pleasure to work with and was very informative leading up to the wedding! After we reached out via email, she crafted a proposal with inspiration photos and a color palette so that we were on the same page. To work with our budget, Autumn suggested bud vases instead of full centerpieces, which was such a great suggestion and still had the look we wanted! She was very patient with all of my questions and revisions to the proposal :)

When researching wedding florals, I was shocked at how expensive florists are...but I would strongly recommend hiring a professional like Autumn to handle florals! I can't imagine having to stress about DIYing florals right before the wedding. It was also almost 100 degrees on our wedding day (unexpected heat wave) and Autumn's arrangements still looked great! Our biggest cost was the ceremony arch arrangement but it was totally worth it for all the...
