About
Tiana
Aurelia Flora was born out of a love for art and nature. Tiana finds joy in creating beautiful, thoughtful floral designs by building nuanced color palettes and combining textural ingredients. Her love of literature, ceramics, and drawing led her to UC Berkeley, where she earned a degree in History and Art Practice. She now lives in San Luis Obispo with her son Westley and husband, Greg—a landscape architect and fellow plant enthusiast. They spend their days together traveling, gardening, drawing & painting, and being outdoors.
LOVE & PRAISE
“I was just on the phone with my mother as I was putting together some family photo albums of the wedding. "Just make sure there are plenty of photos of the flowers," she said. "They were one of the most exquisite things about the wedding." My mother knows flowers; this is a ringing, resounding endorsement of Tiana Ross, founder of Aurelia Flora. And she's right--our flowers were beautiful, especially the big centerpiece on the church altar. Though all the bouquets and centerpieces were lovely, it seems like big installations are the place where Tiana really shines. She is a sculptor of flowers, and has a masterful eye for shape, color, and texture. I expressed an interest in a couple of particulars in our initial meeting (things like the color palette, and a few individual flower types that I knew that I liked) but otherwise felt very comfortable letting Tiana do her thing. Give her the "vibe" and then the freedom to experiment--you won't be sorry. Her work is innovative and interesting--my flowers looked and felt vibrant and unique.
I'll also mention that Tiana was great and easy to work with. She stayed within the budget that we had discussed, and was one hundred percent reliable. Everything showed up in the right places the way it was supposed to, and I never had a moment of worry that it wouldn't. I felt like Tiana really listened to me, understood what we wanted, and delivered an exceptionally beautiful product. If and when I ever need a florist again, it will be Tiana. Quick! Hire this woman to festoon your wedding day in buckets and buckets of flowers!”

"Your beautiful beautiful arrangements literally MADE my day. The arch decoration was breathtaking and the table garlands were gorgeous. I was seriously obsessed with my bouquet, it looked like something out of a magazine. I really felt like you went above and beyond for us and I am so so grateful to you. You have such a special talent and John and I feel so lucky we got to experience it! I absolutely loved working with you, I felt like you understood our vision and also pointed us in the right direction if we were unsure of details. I also felt like you had our best interest at heart so it was easy to trust you with our wedding day. Thank you a million times over for all your hard work!!"

"Tiana was a pleasure to work with. Her overall demeanor was helpful, positive, sweet, and calm. Her patience throughout my wedding planning process is to be admired. She communicated effectively without me ever feeling like she was adding more to my to-do list. She was organized in setting up meetings, her email/Honeybook communication, and in presenting her vision to me. When I had questions or asked to make some changes, she was honest and always catered to my wants and needs. I am so happy that she was available for our wedding date. She is an affordable option and is a true talent. I would recommend Tiana to any bride near or far. The day of the wedding, she was prompt, cheerful, and had jaws dropping with her natural, gorgeous bouquets and bouts. It is also so fun to see the posts Tiana makes on her social media pages- it really adds something special to the whole wedding and post wedding feels. Thank you, thank you!"

“When I asked Tiana to be the florist for our wedding, I had no idea what I wanted. I gave her a few basic colors, the venue and a descriptive word or two and that's about all. On our wedding day, it was like she could see right into my imagination and created exactly what I wanted, even though I had no idea myself. Every centerpiece, bouquet and boutonniere had such personality and was a direct reflection of the style of my husband and I. We were in awe. Pictures of my bouquet, with fresh raspberries and the perfect sense of delicate wildness, will always be one my my favorite from that day. Working with her was one of the easiest and most fun experiences of our whole wedding. Thank you Tiana for making our wedding more beautiful than we could have ever imagined.”

“Beyond expectations. The flowers for the wedding were amazing. I heard more comments on how "exquisite, elegant, prettiest flowers at a wedding they had seen". When we met to discuss what we wanted, as we were planning the wedding we felt immediately the vision was understood. I would recommend Aurelia Flora to anyone!”

"Working with Tiana was a dream come true. Not only speaking of her professionalism, but her work embodies perfection and it completed every piece of our wedding day. Her ability to read minds and go above and beyond your every floral desire is a true gift. She is a silent soldier and needed little direction to complete what we were looking for - which is exactly what I wanted. We are so grateful our world collided and couldn't have completed our day without her. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you."

“I am so grateful to have had Aurelia Flora as my florist for my wedding. Tiana is a thoughtful and wonderfully creative florist! She understood exactly what I was envisioning for my wedding day just through a few pictures and conversations, and the execution was fantastic. She was extremely patient with me as I continued to change or add things to my list of needs, and was willing to work with my budget and ideas! She is a very sweet and diligent person, and gives so much thought to all of the little details she puts into her creation. I couldn't have asked for a better florist to work with as I felt so cared for during the whole process.”

“I do not have words to describe how amazing Tiana is to work with. From the day I messaged her to the day I walked down the aisle, she filled me with a peace and assurance that doesn't come around often during the wedding planning process. Our first meeting was over the phone and I gave her a general “vision” (and because I have no knowledge of flowers whatsoever) I basically said “wild greenery, pampas grass, and no roses” she asked me a couple more questions and almost immediately she came back with pictures that were EXACTLY what I had in mind. She took my vision, ran with it and completely nailed it! Every single detail was flawless and so very me. The whole time we planned she kept in contact with updates, questions, examples and meetings that really made me feel at ease. She is very professional, very sweet and unbelievably easy to work with. Honestly, a complete joy. If you just let her creativity flow, you will not be disappointed.”

Communication was never an issue, she stayed on top of making sure everything went according to plan, even while being on vacation. I would absolutely recommend Tiana to anyone and everyone. She’s the best!"

"Aurelia Flora was truly amazing. She went above and beyond our expectations. The bouquet that she made for my big day was beyond perfect. She took my vague idea and was able to make it a beautiful reality. She was accommodating, professional, and wonderful. I would highly recommend her for any of your florist needs."
