Flores de Bosquez:
Flores de Bosquez was founded in 2017 by Marisa Bosquez-White. Based in Los Angeles, Flores de Bosquez offers florals for weddings & events, botanical styling for editorial projects and custom deliveries.
Flores de Bosquez is known for our distinct aesthetic. We work in a naturalistic style, allowing nature dictate the design. We choose the most exquisite materials with an emphasis on seasonal, local and foraged botanicals. Marisa is drawn to the unusual and strange, working with botanic materials deemed imperfect or odd and mixing them with more traditionally “beautiful” florals to create a look that is wholly her own.
Our life's task is to share our artistry to celebrate love and life. We believe our florals work as conduits for fostering connection to nature and each other.
Flores de Bosquez was awarded The Knot’s “Best of Weddings” in 2018 & 2019. Our florals were featured on the HBO series Big Little Lies; worn by Reese Witherspoon. Our award winning fine art collaboration with photographer Amanda Rowan has been in a number of exhibitions and publications.
We strive to create florals that are elegant, artful and haunting.
Marisa:
Marisa Bosquez-White hails from the hot and humid southern region of Texas. She grew up in the tiny town of Robstown- surrounded by cotton and corn fields. Marisa spent much of her time day dreaming and playing outside. She can’t remember a time when she didn’t want to be an artist.
She made her way to New York City to attend The Fashion Institute of Technology where she earned a degree in fashion design. After many years of working in the fashion industry and a few cities later, she found herself disillusioned and sought something that could satisfy her need for independence, unfettered creativity and meaning. She took a job in a small Dallas flower shop where she fell in love with floral work and took to it effortlessly. Marisa and her husband relocated to Los Angles in 2015. After a few years of floral freelancing, she founded Flores de Bosquez in Los Angeles in late 2017.
For Marisa, working with flowers is more than designing an arrangement, she looks at each project as an opportunity to play with color, texture and shape. Each arrangement is a living sculpture. The temporary nature of this medium reminds her that life is fragile, fleeting and mysterious.
