Narisa, a Southern California native, is the passionate owner and lead designer behind the blooms, and happily serves clients in Southern California. She named her company Petal to the Metal to emphasize her "all gas, no brakes" approach in all projects she takes on. When she becomes excited about a project, she has been compared to an organized runaway train in the best way possible.

Before discovering her calling in the world of flowers, Narisa dedicated herself to a career as an ICU nurse, providing compassionate care to people experiencing potentially the worst days of their lives. This gave her a unique perspective and motivation to live life to the fullest and pursue a craft that inspires her. She felt called to seek a creative outlet, and found herself happiest when surrounded by nature and flowers. She now finds balance working part time during weekdays as a post-surgical nurse and spends her weekends flowering for life's most memorable moments, specializing in weddings.

Whether it's an intimate elopement, the wedding of your dreams, a milestone birthday, a joyful bridal shower, or a polished corporate event, Narisa pours her heart into every detail. Her floral creations reflect the essence of each occasion, ensuring that every celebration tells its unique story.

Narisa's genuine love for her craft shines through in her approach to working with clients. Her previous clients affectionately refer to her as a "flortherapist" because of her communication style and empathetic listening during the stressors of wedding planning. She believes in building a foundation of trust with her clients with clear communication and understands the importance of collaboration, making the process of designing your dream floral arrangements an enjoyable and low-stress-as-possible experience.

When you work with Narisa and her team, you'll quickly realize that she is a warm and knowledgeable person to have on your side during the wedding or event planning process.
