Alysa Demetre, a third-generation florist, was destined for a career in the floral industry. Raised amidst flowers at her grandparents' flower stand and her parents' flower shops in Monterey County, Alysa's familiarity with the floral world began early. During her college years, she gained valuable experience in the events industry and freelanced for renowned floral designers.
With over a decade of experience and a genuine love for the craft, Alysa has built Bella Nozze into one of Northern California's most sought-after floral studios. Her work is personal, precise, and deeply rooted in her passion for design and celebration.
She doesn't just create florals. She creates moments you'll remember for a lifetime.
In my childhood, before the era of Pinterest, I collected wedding magazine pages, preserving them in binders via page protectors. Rediscovering them recently brought a laugh. Post-college, my fascination with weddings led me to spend countless hours on Style Me Pretty, immersing myself in everything wedding-related. The diverse styles, unique touches, and creative ideas resonated with me, solidifying my certainty about entering the wedding industry.
Upon my family's relocation to Sacramento, an opportunity arose when my dad's friends discovered his past ownership of a flower shop. Although he couldn't fulfill their request, he suggested that I could. Thus, my journey into the wedding industry began!
I truly believe flowers are what tie a wedding together. They’re the final layer that completes the overall look and feel of the day. Often the main source of color, they set the mood and bring personality to one of the most meaningful days of your life.
Growing up in a flower shop, I didn’t always see flowers as something beautiful. I associated them with long hours, little sleep, and the intensity of holiday seasons. Still, there were parts I loved- delivering arrangements, adding the final touches to centerpieces, and creating moments of care for customers.
Everything changed when I discovered wedding and event floral design. This path allowed me to focus on artistry, intention, and meaningful experiences rather than the daily pace of retail floristry. After designing my first wedding independently, I realized this was where I truly belonged- and that my upbringing had quietly prepared me for this work all along.
Not only allows me to embrace floral design but has proven to be the pinnacle of my professional journey. Despite my initial reservations, this venture has become my most rewarding decision. With a wealth of experience and an unwavering passion for crafting beautiful and meaningful floral arrangements, I am genuinely excited to play a pivotal role in the special moments of my clients.
As I look forward to the future, I am eager to bring my unique perspective and honed skills to elevate and enhance the celebrations of my clients. Each event is an opportunity for me to contribute to the beauty of their most important days. Whether it's a wedding, corporate event, or any special occasion, I am committed to ensuring that the floral elements I design not only meet but exceed their expectations. I invite you to entrust me with the responsibility of making your moments extraordinary and unforgettable through the artistry of floral design!
