Hi, I'm Irene

The hands behind every piece

I've been making things for the people I love my whole life.

In my family, a handmade gift has always been the way we say "I thought of you": a wreath for the front door, a centerpiece for the holiday table, flowers for a wedding.

When I retired, I finally had time to do what I love most every day. In 2022 I opened Irene's Floral Boutique, and now I make wreaths, arrangements and centerpieces by hand here in Ventura County.

Every piece starts with a season, a celebration or a person in mind. Some are ready to take home today. Others I make just for you, in your colors, for your door or your table.

I'm a grandma of five, and my grandkids remind me every day that the best things are made with love. That's how I make each piece.

I chose my passion.

What I make

For every season and celebration

A fall wreath of copper leaves, orange berries and a glittered pumpkin with a copper bow, on a white door

Wreaths

For your front door, a wall or a mantel. Fall, Christmas, Easter, the Fourth of July, and everything in between.

Pink blossom branches and yellow lilies in a white pitcher with a pink gingham bow

Arrangements

Something bright for a room, or a gift for someone special.

A Christmas centerpiece with a Santa figure, a gingerbread man and a red-and-white striped bow in a wooden box

Centerpieces

For holiday tables, parties and the moments you want to remember.

How I work

Made by hand, one at a time

No two pieces are exactly alike, because I make each one myself. For a custom piece, tell me your idea and I'll price the supplies and send you a quote. Nothing is due to ask. It takes about two to three weeks to make, and I'll send you a photo to approve before you pay.
