Native Poppy

Great new local business. Very nice and knowledgable staff. Beautiful flowers. Also in same location as delicious coffee. Kill 2 birds with 1 stone

Little hidden gem. Love this little coffee/​flower shop, staff is super friendly and the girl behind the flowers is amazing, she’s an artist at heart, creating and arranging beautiful flowers together. Flowers look super fresh like straight out of the garden. You’ll love unwinding here, just very laid back and tranquil atmosphere. I had the Americano coffee and tost jam + goat cheese, I love their jam and goat cheese but I was not a fan of the bread I guess I should of asked to be more tosted. Coffee is good as well. Their menu is not big but I like it because the few things they have they make it good. I did not see a restroom here but they are very clean and work on an open kitchen environment. Wich I love. I recomend to come by yourself with family or friends you’ll love it.

Natalie’s designs are whimsical and natural, allowing each flower to serve a specific role in a bouquet or an arrangement. Her small shop in North Park is warm and inviting, and provides just enough variety to spark any floral lovers imagination. I highly recommend her for all floral needs, large or small, or just to stop by and talk flowers, as she is an amazingly sweet and kind person! Best part is you can grab a coffee and a pastry in the same shop.

I ended up contacting Natalie after our photographer and videographer had suggested her as a possible vendor, and I am so happy I did! She was such a blast to discuss my vision and work with. She knew exactly what I wanted and sent me a proposal of what she was envisioning for our day. Initially, she was just going to provide the floral for us (bouquet, flower crown, flowers for the cake, and a boutonnière), but then I discovered she also does styling too!!! We talked about what I wanted the day to be like and Natalie worked with our photographer to come up with different scenes for our photos hoot. Natalie ended up styling our elopement and it was done so beautifully. My photos would not have turned out as great as they did without her help with everything that day. She custom dyed the tee pee that we used for the cake table cloth and gave it to us to keep at the end of our day. We now use it as a table cloth in our kitchen. It was such a kind a thoughtful gesture and I love seeing it everyday to remind me of the best day of my life! I am so happy I found Natalie and will be getting any future floral needs from her with out a doubt.

As a photographer of 10 years in the San Diego area and beyond, I’ve seen a lot of floral work — but I must say that Native Poppy is without a doubt one of my top FAV! The work she produces is absolutely stunning and breathtaking. I’d refer Native Poppy to any bride looking to have one of a kind floral arrangements, event coordinators planning events, etc. Top notch!

Natalie was so easy to work with for our wedding. She took my jumbled ideas and turned them all into a wonderful, rich color palette that complimented both venues of our wedding as well as the bridesmaids’ dresses.
If you’re looking for interesting arrangements for any event, look no further!

It’s been a year since I got married and the first thing that comes to mind about my wedding logistics is how beautiful my flowers turned out from Native Poppy .
Not only did I get many compliments about the flowers from the guest, but so many people asked about who my florist was afterwards for their own weddings.
Natalie from Native Poppy is has a natural gift for delicate and organic floral design.
I have 100% trust in her taste. Not only that, she’s great to work with. She took time to have multiple calls with me (since I live in NYC) to make sure that it was exactly what I was looking for.
Thanks again Natalie!

Before getting engaged I followed Native Poppy on different social media sites and admired her whimsical work. Needless to say, she was the first and only florist we contacted while planning our wedding. Natalie understood what we wanted immediately and lent her expertise to make sure we got what we wanted within our budget. Even with high expectations, Natalie blew us away with what was delivered on the day of our wedding. My bouquet was spot on with what I envisioned and perfectly suited my blue dress. Our terrarium centerpieces were magical miniature landscapes that doubled as take home gifts for some of our guests. She even threw in a succulent boutonnière for my guy that was simple and stylish.
From our experience, it is clear that Natalie is an adventurer who brings her imagination and unique vision into every work she creates. Anyone looking for modern, beautiful, and personal arrangements will not be disappointed by her work.
Thanks again, Natalie!

When my daughter got engaged in 2014, she already knew the style of florals she wanted… like an English Country Garden, loose, organic, and looking like you just walked into your garden and gathered the flowers.
To save money, we were going to have a friend do all the centerpieces, etc. and have «a professional» do the bouquets & boutonnieres. Our coordinator told us to meet with Natalie before we decided anything and see how she could help. From the moment we met her, we KNEW she was a great fit! We ended up having her do ALL of the flowers and they were breathtaking! The pricing was within our budget and she FAR exceeded our expectations. It was exactly as my daughter (and me!) envisioned her wedding.
The wedding was 3÷27÷15 and we are still getting comments from friends that it was the most beautiful wedding they’d ever been to and the flowers were the most beautiful they’d ever seen! Thank you so much Natalie for knocking it out of the park!

A few months after I got engaged, I found out that my mom has terminal cancer and since my fiancé and I were both on vacation for the holidays, we decided to get married sooner then we expected. We had exactly 9 days to plan a wedding for an intimate group of 15.
I contacted Natalie immediately and even though she was out of town until the day before our wedding and the wedding happened only a few days after Christmas, she was able to help make the day beautiful. Everyone there commented on how gorgeous the flowers were and asked me how I found someone so talented on such short notice. I really got lucky.
Natalie did a PHENOMENAL job on my the flowers. She is exceedingly talented and creative. The bouquet she made for me was bright, happy, and super natural looking, the boutonnieres were whimsical and fun and the table arrangements were vibrant and full of so much beauty. I was just blown away by her work. Without ever meeting in person and just talking via email, she got my vision exactly and more then a week after the wedding, we are still enjoying her table arrangements. She delivered everything on time and surprised us with gorgeous calligraphy labels for the corsages and boutonnieres.
I would recommend Natalie to my closest friends and I am greatful that she was able to bring so much brightness and joy to my wedding. Thanks again!

Natalie is a visionary. Her creations first graced our daughter’s backyard wedding shower, and then her November 8^th wedding from the centerpieces, bridal bouquets, boutonierres, ceremony and reception décor, right down to the handcrafted wedding arch. She far exceeded our expectations. She NAILED our daughter’s vision, having conversations with her, and openly accepting any photos for inspiration. She creates memorable designs. MEMORABLE. That is something not every floral designer can accomplish. Though we have no doubt Natalie would be able to create over-​the-​top lavish displays, that is not in keeping with our daughter’s taste. Following our daughter’s preference for desert-​themed succulents, copper, dark teal, with a touch of bright corals, pinks, and yellow for punch, Natalie created a unique balance of color and texture PERFECTLY. Bouquets were filled with succulents and bright florals, and each centerpiece was a large wooden box filled with succulents and bright florals, some with added manzanita branches. She does not yet have an exceedingly long list of references, but don’t let that stop you. I have no doubt she will continue to grow her clientele to include the prestigious and elite in San Diego. We chose well, and were extremely fortunate to have had her on our team. You would be, too. Native Poppy will be our first choice for every floral design we will ever need!

Natalie is an extremely talented artist to work with if you want your wedding to be unique, creative, and all your own. We didn’t want ‘traditional’ wedding flowers since we were having a simple backyard ceremony. We wanted something summery, like succulents mixed in with colorful pops of flowers, but nothing overly fancy. During our first meeting, Natalie brought a few samples of succulents she works with and we were immediately in love! She let us keep the samples and told us to cut off the bottoms of the stems and just put them back in dirt to watch them grow. Natalie really helped set the atmosphere for our backyard wedding. She suggested instead of an altar (that we were planning on buying), she could make a tall backdrop that she would paint with a wash of our wedding colors and incorporate huge succulents, so when we stood in front of it, it would look really nice. We absolutely loved that idea since it was something we had never seen before at a wedding and we wanted our ceremony to be unique. Natalie did not disappoint at all. She went above and beyond to bring our vision to life with succulents as the main attraction and colorful pops of flowers as the accents. My bouquet, my girls’ bouquets, our moms’ and sisters’ corsages, the ‘altar’ backdrop, wrap-​around pillar floral decorations, stair case flowers, bouquets in glass vases to decorate the inside of the house, and small floral accents to decorate the guest chairs… everything Natalie did was so creative and artistic that it completely surpassed the ‘wedding florist’ role. She and her family/​staff really did their best to make our whole wedding — inside the house and outside in the front/​back yards — something that we and our family/​friends will never forget! If you want your wedding or special event to be something unique with an artistic flair that your guests will always remember, please contact Natalie at Native Poppy!

Natalie’s design talent is incredible! I needed an arrangement for a housewarming party, and shared with her the flowers I like and a few pictures of the space. She came the day of the party with an incredible, dramatic, truly lovely arrangement that was the focal point of the décor. I would highly recommend her work – she treats it like an artistic expression, and it shows.

I love Natalie’s eye for color and texture. She has some serious talent in making arrangements that are beautiful and modern, like something you’d see on Pinterest. I had her make a wreath for my front door and I liked it so much that I ordered two more for my mom’s house.
Natalie is a superstar. She does weddings, flower arrangements, terrariums, flower crowns, arbors, and probably anything you can think of. I will definitely be ordering more flowers from her in the future.
