Growing up in Southern California gave Claire Marie an early appreciation of the outdoor life and the beauty of nature. With grandparents who taught her the art of gardening and nurtured her innate love of natural order, she was able to hone her eye for color and form. A passion was found and a path created. Developing these skills through study and travel, she began the pursuit that would become her life’s career. Making San Francisco her home, Claire Marie worked for many years with some of the cities leading floral and interior designers. Starting Flowers Claire Marie in 1988, she quickly gained a reputation for clean, lush, breathtaking arrangements and highly personalized service, earning her a loyal following. From custom designed residential events to contemporary corporate installations, the name Flowers Claire Marie has become synonymous with natural elegance and exceptional quality.

From design inception, to providing full service special occasion needs, creating an event of exceptional beauty and personal style is the commitment Claire Marie and her team make to every client.
