Valentine’s Day doesn’t have to be loud, overdone, or rushed to feel meaningful. Sometimes, the most memorable expressions of love come from slowing down—choosing something intentional, personal, and thoughtfully designed.

Whether you’re celebrating a partner, a friend, or yourself, this Valentine’s Day in San Diego is the perfect opportunity to move beyond the typical dinner reservation and lean into experiences and gifts that feel genuine. At Sage & Autumn, we believe flowers and creativity are more than gestures—they’re moments of connection.

As a floral designer, I adore working on weddings of every size—but there’s something truly magical about elopements. These intimate celebrations strip away the noise of tradition and expectation, leaving only what matters most: two people promising forever to each other. Designing florals for elopements is one of my favorite parts of what I do, and here’s why.

There’s something magical about weddings in Downtown San Diego—and Venue 808 is the perfect canvas for couples who want a modern, urban setting filled with warmth and romance. Recently, we had the honor of designing florals for a stunning wedding at this chic space, where soft mauves, rich chocolates, lush greenery, and timeless whites created a palette that was both elegant and inviting.
