Hi! I'm - the bouquet maker + owner of Shindig Chic!
Angelena
I'm a visual designer turned floral designer with a background in art installations, visual display, merchandising, color theory & all things DIY.
In pursuit of being my own boss, I launched Shindig Chic way back in 2013 to help those in love.
Since then, I've collaborated with a few hundred couples across the California coast & beyond to create some seriously special days to remember.
And in 2025, I moved to the true place of my dreams - Portland, Oregon! Where there's beauty & inspiration at every turn.
Shindig Chic is a truly bespoke experience.
I create every bouquet + special piece for each wedding myself & take on only one wedding per day to offer a completely personal experience.
I don't believe any two weddings should be the same & am inspired by each unique couple.
We collaborate by combining what you love with our design experience to create something truly special.
I'm a Pinterest enthusiast that is not afraid of color, loves a challenge & is unusually organized for a creative type.
Hunting for the seasonal 'flavor of the week' at the flower mart is our secret to success & individuality... and half the fun!
