THE HIDDEN GARDEN CREW
The Hidden Garden is a collection of amazing people. Everything we accomplish here is a collaboration of talents that makes us a truly dynamic studio. From wedding designs, event flowers and daily floral deliveries, to hotel & office flowers; it’s not just one person who makes it happen, it’s a team effort. These are just a few of the amazing people that work at the HG.

AMY MARELLA
Hi! I’m Amy, the owner of The Hidden Garden. What started back in 1999 as a “little flower shop” with the simple hope of making people happy through flowers has turned into the most incredible journey. Now, 26 years later, The Hidden Garden has grown into so much more than I ever imagined — an award-winning floral design studio that creates magic for weddings, events, hotels, and everyday celebrations across Los Angeles and beyond.
When I first opened the doors, I had very little flower experience, but I had a big vision and a whole lot of passion. I knew I wanted to build something beautiful, and every step since then has been about chasing that dream. Today, I get to work alongside the most talented and creative team who amaze me daily with their artistry, dedication, and heart. Together, we’ve had the joy of designing everything from hotel lobbies in Beverly Hills to floral installations for some of the biggest events in the country. But honestly, what makes me happiest is still the same as when I started—seeing the smile that flowers bring to someone’s face.
In 2024, we celebrated one of our biggest milestones yet—we moved from our longtime Pico studio, where we had been for 22 years, into an incredible new space on Cotner. The new studio is more than three times the size of our old location and gives us the room to dream bigger, design bolder, and host our clients in a space that truly reflects who we are today. It’s been such an exciting step forward, and if you’re ever in the area, I’d love for you to stop in and see it! I’m endlessly grateful for the relationships I’ve built with our wonderful clients over the years. It’s their trust that allows us to do what we love: fill homes, ballrooms, and entire stadiums with flowers that tell a story and leave a lasting impression. When I’m not at The Hidden Garden, you’ll usually find me with my incredibly supportive husband, Greg. We’re now officially empty nesters (how did that happen so fast?) with both Zach and Samantha off in college. Luckily, that just gives us more reasons to travel, cheer them on, and watch them grow into their own amazing chapters.
