This is a part of our Creative Collaboration series, where we introduce you to our creative partners from all around the Bay Area. Today, we’re introducing you to Laura Roda Ahmed from LC Floral Design.

LC Floral Design is a floral design company that creates beautiful blooms one stem at a time! Their mission is to turn your floral dreams into a reality.

We asked Laura to tell us about what inspired her to pursue a career in weddings and how she got started in the wedding industry.

I have always had a love for flowers since I was little, and it was something I just did for fun on the side. My sister Karey with Hazy Lane Studios told me one year that I should open my own flower business and one Christmas she gifted me with my business name and license. After that it was history!

Laura shares her favorite part about being involved in a wedding.

I absolutely LOVE helping couples make their dreams become a reality. It is the most rewarding thing to see a couple so happy that their wedding flowers exceeded their expectations. It is something I strive for in every wedding.

Laura tells us what she’d do with a week off of work.

If I had a week off, I would go to Fiji with my husband!

Laura is also sharing some advice she likes to give couples planning their wedding.

One piece of advice for all couples would be to hire a wedding planner – they add so much value to your wedding and will make sure everything is seamless from start to finish. After all, you want to be able to enjoy your day stress-free!
