These aren’t your grandmother’s
flower arrangements.
Our Story
“Bonjour et Bienvenue”. I’m Kait, founder and florist behind French Girl Florals, the bespoke boutique floral design studio in San Diego, California.
My story with flowers actually begins with my Grandmother. Contrary to what the header may say.
I was born in a suburb of Paris and growing up my family would vacation in Antibes, France during the Summer. When my sister and I were young, our Grandmother, Genevieve or “Mamie Genevieve” would have us help around the house by creating flower arrangements for the table.
She believed flowers had the power to create an invitation to linger over dinner and enjoy one another. She would wake us up early, have us collect flowers from the garden and then we would help her create a beautiful arrangement for meals on the terrace. Those summer villa chores were my earliest interactions with floral design and now, some of my most treasured memories of my Mamie Genevieve. She was a true “Bon Vivant” and knew what it meant to enjoy the pleasures of life.
Although my aesthetic has morphed, I still hold onto those garden roots from my childhood.
Today, I proudly run my studio outside of my home in the neighborhood of Mission Hills, San Diego with the same loving intention behind floral design as my Mamie Genevieve. I handcraft every bespoke bouquet with her" “joie de vivre” spirit and eye for design guiding me. Every exquisite flower we source and each unique arrangement we design, is an homage to her class, timeless style and appreciation for life’s special moments, big and small.
Au Revoir!

Picked to Perfection
We always source the freshest blooms and seasonal greenery to ensure your flowers are stunning and leave a lasting impression on your guests.
In addition to our flower choices, we support local, small businesses by working with a select list of artisans who elevate our aesthetic.
Paired together and with careful craftsmanship, our bespoke designs mimic the movement, rhythm and balance found in nature. In every design, we consider aspects such as opposition and tension; scale and proportion; space and fullness.
Using flowers as a poetic medium, we craft textured, colorful and fragrant compositions that elevate your event.
