The bouquet bar at Anthropologie Century City

It began at the LA Flower Market, two days before the event. We set up a table of California-grown stems from four LA Flower Market vendors: Eliseo’s Wholesale, Growers Direct Flowers, O&J Growers, and Dan Stamis. It was part of Anthropologie’s pop-up market for small, women-owned businesses, and the video above is the day in two minutes.

Lisianthus and eucalyptus from Eliseo’s, where Anthony told us the harvest day of everything we took. Celosia, zinnias and bells of Ireland from Growers Direct. Protea and cosmos from O&J, with “USA” printed on the receipt. Baby’s breath, huckleberry, plumosus and seeded eucalyptus from Dan, who sources locally and from Florida and Washington, all of it American grown.

It wasn’t the first. In November 2025 we were at the same store for “Gather, gift, and get styled,” alongside Embers & Thyme, Haley’s Wines and Forever Rose.

The ask at the table

People could build a bouquet or, instead, give us the name of a grower, a florist, or anyone in flowers they love. Every name that came across the table goes into the directory, and the ask didn’t end when the table came down. It’s the form at /submit, and it’s open to anyone, including the growers themselves.

Who made the day

Josh brought the muscle. We brought the flowers. Olivia, our stylist at the store, made the invitation, and the chalkboard at the door had us up there beside Empress Matcha, Lucky Locks LA, Embers & Thyme, Oh My Garden and Sona Artisan Bread. Peach matcha from Empress kept us on our toes.

Women-owned businesses, women supporting women. Thank you to @pleasantlycozy for sharing the love, and to @kumastudio for stopping by; go and look at her ceramic lamps.

We drove home tired and grateful.
