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 floral designer who specializes in whimsical designs as well as custom seasonal creations and craft work. 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 husband, my floral instructors at CCSF, dear friends, family, and 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 my creations. I look forward to connecting 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!” -Ashley S.
“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.
“Your arrangements were gorgeous and you went above and beyond to deliver. I appreciate it!” - Christina F.
“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.
"Every year I seek something different to gift to my amazing clients, especially if it is something I can find from a small, local designer. Last year I discovered Floralita's elegant and colorful wreaths and Shana worked with me to customize each client's wreath to reflect their particular style, which is a service I have not found elsewhere! I asked that the wreaths be delivered to me directly, so that I could then deliver them to my clients myself, and not only was each one beautiful in it's own specific way, and just as I had requested, but each smelled divine- just amazingly fresh- and my clients also said they continued to for some time.
I fully plan to reach out to Shana again for other special gifts. She was a pleasure to work with and her work is beautifully unique." - Vanessa A.
