Seasonal flowers composed with movement, texture, and the imperfect beauty of the garden.
Explore ↓Lumen & Stem is an independent floral studio in Santa Cruz, creating expressive arrangements for weddings, gatherings, and everyday tables.
Our work favors natural silhouettes over perfection: branching stems, unusual textures, soft color, and flowers that still feel as though they belong outdoors.
From an intimate ceremony beside the redwoods to a long-table dinner overlooking the coast, each wedding begins with a sense of place. We create bouquets, ceremony pieces, tablescapes, installations, and floral details that belong naturally to your celebration.
