About Us
Since 2014, Fleur d' Elegance has been a premier luxury florist serving San Diego County, known for floral artistry that blends Asian, European, and North American design styles. We don't just craft bouquets: we curate emotions, whether that's a large-scale production or an everyday arrangement. Every design, from grand event installations to our daily shop orders, gets the same level of care and attention to detail.
But behind the polish, we're a small, close-knit studio. You won't be one of a thousand employees at a faceless corporate florist; you'll work directly alongside our creative director and design team, learning the craft hands-on and growing with a business that genuinely invests in its people. We believe great floral design happens when a team trusts and supports each other, and we're looking for someone who wants to be part of that.
The Role
We're looking for a Floral Assistant to support our design team in day-to-day studio operations and event production. This is a great fit for someone who loves flowers, thrives in a hands-on environment, and is looking for a long-term home, not just a stepping stone. We're growing, and we'd love for the right person to grow with us for years to come.
