Ampersand

"Funky florist/design studio in a converted garage creating bouquets & special event arrangements."

Ampersand is a San Francisco flower shop and design studio, operating out of a converted garage in the Castro-Duboce district, offering walk-in bouquets, wedding floral design, and private event arrangements. Ampersand is known for organic, wild, and asymmetric floral designs built around seasonal, locally sourced materials; every arrangement is custom made, and couples can choose blooms per stem at an affordable price point. Founded by Emerson Boyle in 2012, Ampersand began in a hand-painted barn in the Mission district before relocating to its current Castro-Duboce space; the studio has designed for weddings, micro weddings, corporate events, and VIP hospitality events including an NFL HOUSE Super Bowl private event. Based at 2190 Market Street in San Francisco, with weekly deliveries to restaurants, offices, businesses, and personal homes around San Francisco. Couples praise Emerson and the team for requiring no hand-holding, delivering unique asymmetric installations and varied centerpieces, and handling all coordination through HoneyBook; several note that the higher price point reflects the quality of the work.
