Carmela de Castro is the lady behind Orchid Republic in Sherman Oaks, Los Angeles. Against the backdrop of the beatific Santa Monica Mountains, the floristry studio is, quite simply, a way for Carmela and her team to express a “passion for creating beautiful things.”
Inspired by her “evergreen” love for exquisite orchids (clues in the name, guys), Carmela founded OR in 2013. That focus on her favourite plant quickly expanded into a fully-formed floristry studio offering an abundance of beautiful bouquets and table arrangements. Describing their style as “chic and modern”, Carmela’s favorite floral memories always stem (excuse the pun) from that all-hands-on-deck Valentine’s Day period. “I love how everyone at the shop works so hard to create beautiful things for expressing love,” Carmela says.


The flowers were lovely and everything went well with the delivery! Very satisfied!
Floom initially made an error, saying the delivery was made several weeks before it was scheduled. Issue was corrected.
Great service, however the updates aren't in real time. Didn't know it was already delivered!
Great options & access to local florists. Also, excellent filtering options
A beautiful, artistic arrangement for the opening of Hyperblack Studios, a new photography studio space in the garment district. Good communication, perfect delivery, and a highlight for the room!
very easy to use website and love all their options
Beautiful flowers for my fiancé on day of wedding.
My friend absolutely loved it! And she is picky. Right on time. Thank you so much
Way better than in the reference picture, it was really nice :D
The flower were so fresh and beautiful. The card was very elegant and delivery was in time!
Love the convenience and the ability to see what a variety of vendors have to offer in one place. Found some hidden gems for sure!
Beautiful, gorgeous bouquet and next day delivery. Couldn’t be happier and/or satisfied. That being said—the website is very buggy. I cannot log in via Google, so have to check out as a guest every time I order flowers
My daughter received her bouquet and it was late so I assumed it was not coming. It was beautiful. I am confused as to why they have such mixed reviews.
Beautiful arrangement! Made sure it got to the right person. Excellent service!
Sent to my relative in the USA from the UK and the process was so easy, with so much beautiful choice! Arrived promptly and my auntie was so happy! Thank you so much :)
Amazing bouquet of flowers, just wish they updated on the delivery as soon as possible
Quick turnaround. Beautiful bouquet. Just as expected!
I have found several really good florists through floom and all of my friends and family always are so happy to receive the flowers we send.
The orchids I ordered were gorgeous and the website is extremely user friendly. I look forward to purchasing all my flowers through Floom in the future!
