Meet Stephanie

Serving weddings and events throughout Southern California, Stephanie approaches floral design with an artist’s eye and a deep appreciation for beauty, intention, and atmosphere.

With a background in marketing and editorial design, Stephanie developed a refined sense of composition, color, and visual storytelling. But it was through designing her own home; a space layered with texture, pattern, and the charm of nature that she discovered her true passion: creating artful floral experiences that transform spaces and shape unforgettable moods.

Bespoke Floral Design

At Fern Cottage Florals, every arrangement is thoughtfully tailored to each client’s aesthetic, ensuring no two designs are ever alike. We embrace eco-conscious practices whenever possible, using sustainable mechanics to honor the environment while showcasing the natural elegance of each bloom.

We believe florals are more than decoration, they are an essential part of crafting ambiance, highlighting your personal style, and bringing depth and emotion to your celebration.

The Story Behind Fern Cottage Florals

How a little cottage sparked a floral design studio

The name comes from a very special place, the first home our founder, Stephanie, and her husband bought on Fern Avenue in Redlands. It needed a lot of love, but to Stephanie, it was a blank canvas waiting to be transformed.

With color, pattern, texture, and a cozy British-inspired aesthetic, they turned that little decades-old rental into a home full of warmth and character. And somewhere along the way, Fern Cottage became the place that shaped her love of creativity, and eventually, flowers.

It’s where Stephanie learned to garden through books, trial and error, and discovering what thrives in their planting zone.

It’s where they held their backyard wedding and where the floral design (our favorite part!) sparked something she didn’t expect. Trying to bring her own vision to life; one that felt magical, personal, and different from traditional arrangements; opened the door to an entirely new passion.

That experience became the catalyst for starting her floral design studio. Naming it Fern Cottage Florals felt like the most natural thing in the world, a tribute to the place that held so many defining moments.

Fern Cottage represents creativity, growth, personal style, and all the milestones that shape who we are. It’s the heart behind every arrangement we create today.
