Anthophile:

A person who deeply LOVES flowers

Hello, I’m Shana!

Welcome to my happy place - floralita510 is my immersive, creative, expansive love affair with flowers. I am an Oakland freelance floral designer who specializes in whimsical designs for individuals and businesses as well as seasonal custom wreaths. I hope that you find my floral creations to be contagious with my passion and enchantment with the natural world.

It’s a joy to work with flowers - they are healing, magic medicine! Floral design is the best therapy that I’ve found. I’m forever grateful to my amazing partner, my floral instructors at CCSF, dear friends, family, and early employers. I could not have realized my dreams in floral design without their encouragement and support.

I believe that a space adorned with beautiful flowers creates a positive, relaxing, and welcoming atmosphere. Fresh plants and flowers remind us to slow down and contribute to an overall sense of well-being. Their impact is not only aesthetic but also extends to the emotional and psychological aspects of our human experience.

Thank you for your interest in connecting with me.

I look forward to working with you!

I cannot recommend Shana highly enough! She brought my wedding vision to life in the most breathtaking way possible. From the moment we connected, she was warm, attentive, and deeply passionate about her craft. She took the time to understand my style and preferences, and the result was beyond anything I could have imagined. 

My bridal bouquet was an absolute dream—lush, elegant, and perfectly balanced with the most delicate seasonal blooms. Every flower felt intentional, and the arrangement captured both romance and natural beauty effortlessly. But the real showstopper was our ceremony arch. It was a masterpiece, overflowing with soft, organic textures and the most stunning color palette. It felt like walking into a fairytale. 

What truly sets Shana apart is her artistry and attention to detail. Every petal, every stem, every flourish was placed with care, creating an atmosphere that felt both magical and deeply personal. Her work was not just floral design—it was storytelling through flowers. 

Thank you, Shana, for making our wedding day so beautiful and unforgettable. Your work is a gift, and I feel so lucky to have had you as part of our special day!”

“This past holiday season, I ordered a Christmas wreath from Shana for our front door and I couldn't have been happier! We received so many compliments from visitors. Such care and creativity went into the design and it lasted the entire holiday season. I highly recommend floralita510!”- Ali K.

“Shana’s floral designs are magnificent! I love her usage of natural plant materials and flowers to create a balanced composition with an eye catching display! I would highly recommend her for all of your floral needs!” -Dora B.

“We requested a wreath for Christmas and Shana most certainly delivered! The wreath was lovely - it had red flowers, berries, a red bow, and even an adorable Christmas elf, which my kids loved! The arrangement was incredibly fresh as well! It was still in good shape several weeks post Christmas and lasted probably a month. I gave Shana minimal information on what we were looking for and she created a beautiful and lasting piece that we enjoyed for the holidays.” - Sabrina L.

“Shana’s holiday wreaths are amazing and last such a long time! Her arrangements are innovative and creative. Definitely an annual purchase!” -Mary Ann S.

“I love the Christmas wreath Shana creates for us each year. We have an artificial tree but miss that delightful pine smell so we compromise with one of Shana's gorgeous creations. They have such sweet details that the kids love seeing, company always comments on and the woodsy smell lasts forever. I get mine in November and I would be ashamed to say that it's still hanging on my wall in July but it still smells great and looks so good that I just can't bring myself to take it down!” -Natalie A.
