About Bagel's Florals

Bagel is a floral designer based in San Diego and can be found freelancing + flowering weddings across California, Oregon, New Mexico, and more!

I love flowers because of their incredible power to remind us to notice the small things, to experience beauty, and to remember that we are also Nature. I am honored to act as a flower messenger and to work with florals to express feelings of excitement, pride, joy, gratitude, grief, remembrance, and love.

Who is Bagel?

Hi, I’m Bagel (she/they). Artist, gardener, and double Virgo.

I grew up in Montana as a child of gardeners, and now I am a grown up flower artist and steward of beauty + magic. I love the seasons, and feature local and seasonal blooms and botanicals whenever possible. My work is artistic, heartfelt, and playful, inspired by the spirits of the flowers themselves.

Contact me to help plan your wedding day dream florals, or to bring my expertise and positive, easygoing vibes to your freelance design team.

Community, farms, and footprint

Bagel’s Florals is proud to be a part of a creative community, and we love to support and collaborate with our fellow local growers, makers, artists, and business owners.

We source as many of our flowers as possible from local farms and we helped to establish New Mexico’s first flower grower’s collective.

We do our best to compost all of our floral waste, and use recyclable or reused packaging whenever we can.

Land Taxes and redistribution

Bagel’s Florals was established on Tiwa Pueblo land and is now operating on Kumeyaay land. Bagel’s Florals is white settler-owned and participates in the Honor Native Land Tax. Join us by setting up your recurring contribution here.

Bagel’s Florals is honored to have supported the work of the Transgender Resource Center of New Mexico by collaborating on the TGRC benefit calendar. LGBTQ2S+ couples receive a “family” discount on their wedding florals, or they may opt for us to donate that percentage to an organization or fund in their names.

We pledge to redistribute at least 3% of our net profits. After land taxes, our contributions go to local mutual aid & farmer funds, as well as national funds for queer farmers and decarceration efforts.
