ABOUT Flour LA, Inc.

Flour LA, Inc. specializes in high-end, custom floral design for luxury events, corporate experiences, and brand activations across the United States. From eye-catching custom flower walls and large-scale floral installations to private floral design classes, we create moments that leave a lasting impression—both in person and across social media.

Founded in 2009, Flour LA began as a concept blending food and flowers into a flower shop with a cafe. But due to the recession, our focus evolved into only floral design, first doing weddings, then upscale corporate events. In 2013 after Carly moved to NYC, she expanded after finding a space in the flower district, and then Nashville in 2019. Her goal was to create unique designs in a variety of styles that match the venue and brand's aesthetic. Flour LA takes on complex last-minute events with a team of freelancers, fabricators, and stylists. 

We operate out of studios in Nashville, Marina del Rey, Los Angeles, and New York City, and travel nationwide to bring premium floral design to events across every region. Led by renowned floral designer and author Carly Cylinder, Flour LA collaborates with leading PR and experiential marketing agencies to create installations and designs for the beauty, fashion, lifestyle, and tech industries. Carly is involved in every aspect, overseeing each event no matter the city. 

Our Mission
We are committed to giving back to our communities. Flour LA regularly donates leftover flowers and plants to women’s shelters in Los Angeles, New York, and Nashville. We also believe in the power of mentorship and education to drive change.

CREATIVE DIRECTOR

Carly Cylinder is the founder and creative director of Flour LA, Inc., a nationally recognized floral design studio. She began her floral journey working with some of the most prestigious floral companies in Los Angeles, including Mark’s Garden, Rita Flora, and Empty Vase, where she developed her signature style blending structure, creativity, and storytelling.

With a degree in Psychology from UCLA, Carly launched her professional career at OneLegacy, a Donate Life organization, while simultaneously laying the foundation for Flour LA. Her background in psychology influences her empathetic approach to design, teaching, and client relationships.

Carly later expanded Flour LA to the East Coast while freelancing with David Stark Design in New York City, where she contributed to large-scale installations and high-profile events. Her passion for accessible floral design led to the publication of her book, The Flower Chef, released in 2016 by Grand Central Publishing. The book blends DIY floral arranging with easy-to-follow recipes, and remains a go-to resource for floral enthusiasts and professionals alike.
​
She continues to lead the company with a hands-on approach, offering in-person floral classes, creative direction for large-scale installations, and consulting for brand activations.
