About the studio

Made-to-order floral pieces, by hand, in San Francisco.

Nilüfer (nee·loo·fair) is a one-woman floral studio. Every piece is built to order around a single feeling — never pulled from a cooler — and hand-delivered across the city.

What Nilüfer makes

Floral pieces — not bouquets.

Each piece is a small floral composition made entirely to order. I don't keep stock or sell from a cooler; I choose the stems the morning your piece goes out, so no two are ever quite the same. Every piece is named for a feeling and arrives with a written card telling its story.

There are three signature pieces right now — Hüzün, Sevda and Huzur — priced from $130 to $165. Want something of your own? I take a small number of custom orders each week.

The maker

Hello — I'm Nilüfer.

I'm a florist from İstanbul, now working in San Francisco. Nilüfer means water lily — it is my name, and the name of the studio. I make every piece myself, drawing on the colour and light of the city I came from: two cities of fog and water, kept in one small studio.

— Nilüfer
Questions

A few things people ask.

Do you deliver outside San Francisco?

The studio delivers across the city by hand. For the wider Bay Area, send me a note before ordering and I'll let you know what's possible.

Can I order for a specific date?

Yes. Pieces are made to order with 2–3 days' notice. Tell me your date by email and I'll confirm the delivery window within a day.

Do you take custom or event work?

I take a small number of custom orders each week, and a few intimate events. Tell me the feeling, the colours and the occasion, and I'll propose a piece.

What if a flower isn't available?

Because everything is made fresh to order, I may substitute a stem of equal beauty — always keeping the piece true to its colour and feeling, never without care.

Can I send one as a gift?

Always. Tell me your note when you order and I'll write it by hand on the card that travels with the piece.
