MEET CECELIA
Cecelia is a designer born and raised in the Napa Valley, currently living in Sonoma, California. She adores her (high school sweetheart) husband, their three young children Maelyn, Nora and Ronan and their chihuahua fur-baby Bert. Cecelia finds joy in simple pleasures - scouring local flea markets and thrift shops, manicures, Target runs, family walks, cozy loungewear, a venti chocolate cream cold brew, changing seasons and all holidays. She's afraid of spiders, but loves a good scary movie. You can find her working to the sounds of Taylor Swift, Norah Jones, Sam Smith, The Beatles, Justin Timberlake, Pink Floyd, Lofi beats or the occasional Metallica...depending on her mood. Her favorite flowers are fragrant heirloom garden roses and butterfly ranunculus.
Cecelia found her passion for design at a young age. After studying Interior Design at The Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising (FIDM) in San Francisco, she went on to work for well-known Bay Area designers in both interior and floral design.
Throughout her 13 years in the floral industry, Cecelia has honed her talent and style and discovered an immense love of flowers. There's something about finding the perfect color palette, collection of vases or an unusually textured foliage that makes her heart sing.
Cecelia takes great pride in each and every event she produces, using the freshest blooms from local California growers and from as far away as Holland, Italy and Japan. She specializes in timeless, romantic, garden-inspired designs customized for each individual couple she works with.
Since starting Mae Flowers in fall of 2014, Cecelia's floral work has been featured in the following online and print publications:
