Penflora, a Bay Area-based floral arts studio and shop specializing in accessorizing your life! 

About Melissa

Welcome to Penflora – a floral design studio and boutique in Burlingame, CA, where nature meets design through sustainable floristry and curated items and gifts to enhance your everyday life.

​

My journey to Penflora began in a home where flowers and plants were always present, thanks to my mother’s love for garden blooms and my parents’ keen eye for design. Growing up surrounded by nature, I developed a deep appreciation for how plants and flowers can transform a space, whether in a garden, a vase, or as part of a thoughtfully designed interior.

​

After a career in finance and a detour into graphic design, I’ve returned to my roots, reigniting my passion for floristry and the art of creating beautiful, functional spaces. This journey has brought me back to what I truly love: the joy of working with nature to craft experiences that bring beauty, serenity, and creativity into people’s lives.

​

At Penflora, we specialize in crafting bespoke floral designs and curated collections, with an emphasis on sustainability. From intricate floral arrangements to stunning vignettes and floral-inspired fashion, we bring your creative visions to life, no matter the scale.

​

Whether you’re looking to add a touch of nature to your space, learn the art of floral design, or explore the world of plant-based fashion, Penflora invites you to join us. Our classes, workshops, and events offer a chance to immerse yourself in the beauty of plants and the creative process. Together, we’ll discover new skills, inspire your creativity, and bring a little more nature into your world.

​

Thank you for visiting Penflora. I’m excited to help you make your spaces, events, and designs more beautiful, sustainable, and full of life.
