About Us

Darian's very first job at 18 was as a grocery store florist. It was there that she met AJ and fell in love with both blooms and her now husband.
Together they have founded Araiza Florals, combining their strengths in floral design and business to bring your wedding vision to life! They take your dreams and make them tangible, weaving years of experience and passion for the wedding industry into romantic, textural, and artful floral installations and designs that take your breath away.
Our business was built from our love story, leading us to help tell yours.
We're Darian + Aj—

We have three cats and a dog— a one-eyed, polydextrous girl named Polyphemus (Poly for short), Taco, Clementine, and Whiskey. Darian, our lead designer, is always looking to add more animals to the roster and we both dream of having an animal rescue in the future.
AJ is our Prop Master and CFO— he has an incredible eye for detail and creativity and can bring all of your custom wedding and event dream builds to life! Need a custom champagne display, donut wall, back drop, or more? He's your guy.
When we're not flowering weddings, we're hanging with our animals and planning our next Disney World trip.

"Darian was one of our BEST vendors/investments for our wedding! Her vision and creativity, along with her innate customer service skills, make her so good at her craft. Darian truly listened to all the half-baked ideas I threw at her and was able to transform them into beautiful floral creations. The final designs were exactly what I had hoped for - I literally screamed when I saw our ceremony space! Darian also worked with us to seamlessly and intentionally repurpose our florals from ceremony to reception to help us stick to our budget. It was such a joy to work with and alongside Darian and the team at Araiza Florals and I would HIGHLY recommend her services for other events/weddings!"
