Local. Sustainable floral design.

General Info

In 1942 MY great grandmother started what would become to BE ONE of the most well renowned flower shops on the west coast named ADELAIDE’S of LA Jolla. Later in 1980 MY grandmother. WHO wanted to BUY herself a NEW truck. Decided SHE would start a small flower shop to earn HER OWN money. Of course. To rival HER mother in LAW. SHE proudly named the shop after herself. MARCIE’S flowers. Which turned into a 27 year Endeavor in floral artistry. MY mother. WHO never intended to BE a florist. Ended UP becoming a designer. First AT MARCIE’S flowers where I was raised and learned everything I know about flowers. And then AT ADELAIDE’S. SHE WON prizes and GOT printed in magazines like better homes and gardens for HER unique EYE for floral design. SO YOU could SAY that. Since birth. MY identity has been intrinsically tied to flowers. And I wouldn’t have it ANY other WAY. AT Matthew flowers. OUR passion is quality and sustainability. For 75 years OUR Family has been dedicated to providing SAN diego with floral Excellence. Starting with the founding of MY great Grandmother’s award winning flower shop. However. Much has changed since the doors of MY FAMILY’S first flower shop were opened. Flowers have become a commodity Chosen by price NOT quality. Design has been condoned to what YOU CAN achieve by shoving three week OLD boxed flowers into a clear generic vase. And the floral experience has been disconnected from the very thing it is supposed to inspire: people. SO it’s time for a fresh perspective. OUR NEW venture aims to reinstate the concept of a local. Sustainable florist. Bringing back the idea of having a personal relationship with your floral designer. Matthew flowers is founded on the idea that flowers Bring beauty. Wonder and connection back into People’s lives. Flowers. Like humans. Are delicate and unique and filled with intrinsic knowledge and meaning. Therefore. We believe the business of flowers should BE taken seriously. By designers WHO are passionate about what they DO. And WHO center their work on the quality of their product. And most importantly. Their customers. We truly love flowers. And OUR hope is that through OUR work we are able to share this love with others.

Because most of our business is done over the phone, over our website, or through consultation we have chosen not to have a store front.
