The Experts Behind Your Perfect Wedding Flowers
When you walk into your reception and see your flowers for the first time, you’ll feel it.
That moment when everything you imagined comes to life. When your guests lean in close, touch the petals, and feel the love in every detail. When your photos capture not just beauty, but the emotion of your day.
That’s what we create at Weddings by Strelitzia.
We’re Tish and Sam, and we’ve spent years learning what makes a wedding day unforgettable. We know that flowers aren’t just decoration — they’re the backdrop to your love story. From your first conversation with us to the moment we leave your venue, we handle everything. We source the freshest blooms from growers we trust, design arrangements that reflect your vision, and manage setup and takedown so you can simply be present with your guests.
Your wedding should feel effortless on the day itself. No stress about whether flowers will last, no worry about whether the design matches your dream. You’ll have a partner who listens, who understands your vision, and who’s committed to making your day as beautiful as you imagined it.
That’s the Strelitzia difference.
We offer three distinct wedding florals services:
- Signature Strelitzia, Full-service floral design, setup, and breakdown. We handle everything so you can focus on celebrating.

- Simply Strelitzia, Custom bouquets and arrangements without the full-service price tag. You get beautiful, hand-crafted flowers designed for your vision.

- Savvy Strelitzia. Premium wholesale flowers sourced straight from the field. We provide the blooms, the recipes, and the guidance—you bring the creativity and vision to life.
As well as a selection of carefully curated flower-related rentals.
“Everything was even more amazing than I could have expected. The flowers were just fabulous, and we are so thankful!!!! Again, thank you for helping make our day perfect!!”

Meet Team Strelitzia
Samantha Widlund – Wedding and Event Manager
Three things you should know about Sam:
She didn’t know what she was applying for when she applied for her job at Strelitzia.
She doesn’t have a favorite flower because it’s impossible to pick when you love all of them, especially wedding flowers.
She considers it an absolute privilege to get to be the point person who works with clients from intake to overseeing production and installation.

Tish does it all – from managing all areas of Strelitzia Flower Company to design oversight and climbing ladders for wedding flowers installations and more.

Dean Labadie – Owner, Strelitzia Flower Co, Weddings by Strelitzia, J&D Wholesale
To pay for his education while a student at UC Davis, Dean started Strelitzia Flower Co by selling flowers from a bucket in 1971. He and his wife Janice added J&D Wholesale in 1993, making the overnight run to the coast weekly for the freshest blooms.
Dean and Janice build the Strelitzia family of brands on a commitment to community, common sense, taco soup and grilled cheese sandwiches and are still involved in the day to day running of Strelitzia, over 50 years after Dean and his bucket got started.
At Weddings by Strelitzia, we believe that love is love and everyone should celebrate it. We also believe that your wedding flowers should be your wedding flowers – created uniquely for you to celebrate your unique love story and vision for your day. Our job is to help guide your vision, if needed, and bring the know how to bring it to life.
