MEET THE FOUNDER

EMILY ANDRADE

Emily Andrade founded Striking Petals with a deep understanding of what happens after the last guest leaves. With a background in florals and event production, she saw a clear need for thoughtful, reliable support during the final phase of event work that often goes unseen but is essential to the creative process.

Built by a florist for florists, Striking Petals reflects Emily’s hands-on experience in installations, strikes, and logistics across a wide range of events and locations. Her approach is rooted in care, organization, and respect for the work ensuring every event is closed out as intentionally as it was designed.

MORE ABOUT OUR BRAND

Striking Petals is destination strike company built to help florists and creative teams execute seamlessly from start to finish. We specialize in the behind-the-scenes work that ensures events wrap smoothly from organized tear-downs and returns to careful handling of florals, props, and production assets.

We partner closely with florists, planners, designers, and production teams to provide reliable, detail-oriented support on event days and beyond. Whether managing late-night strikes, coordinating logistics across multiple locations, or stepping in as an extra set of trusted hands, our team brings efficiency, respect for the creative process, and a deep understanding of event flow.

At our core, Striking Petals is grounded in collaboration, accountability, and care for the work, the people behind it, and the spaces we leave behind

KIND WORDS

“I can’t recommend Striking Petals enough! Emily was communicative, easy to work with, and so sweet. She collected all my items from a last minute strike, and everything was returned perfectly! I will definitely continue to call on her for my late night clean ups. So reliable and a total life saver!”
— Dogwood Florals
“Hiring Emily and her team to do a strike in LA was the best thing for me, since I’m OC based! Emily is communicative, thorough and thoughtful. The booking process was smooth, and post-event I was able to relax and have zero worries. Everything was returned in a timely manner the next day and packaged nicely. It’s reassuring knowing she is a florist herself, so she knew exactly what I was referring to when I had special instructions for certain mechanics/flowers. Definitely hiring again for future jobs as I trust Emily with all my precious hard goods!”
— Brit Floral Co
“Striking Petals is a game changer! This was the first time I outsourced a breakdown and I was a little anxious about it at first. But Emily was so communicative during the process and handled everything professionally. All my supplies were returned safely, easily, and well packaged-better than I would have done myself! I felt the pricing was so fair and definitely worth it since it saved me from a 24hr work day. Will be sourcing all my break downs through them from now on!”
— Moss and Meadow Florals
