Meet Sydney. The Ultimate Flower Girl.
At the helm of Cosmos Floral is owner and creative director Sydney—a lifelong Minnesotan with a strong love of nature, art, and people.
While working in digital marketing and creative strategy for many years, Sydney was drawn to perusing the aisles at the farmers market in her free time, which then transformed into finding flowers to arrange for fun. As her talent and demand grew, she came to the realization that she had the potential to become a professional floral designer. Combining her passion for fine art, nature, storytelling, and sustainability in a truly unique way is what makes up Cosmos Florals. And in 2022 she officially launched her design studio. Since then, Sydney has been all over the country designing, while building a studio home base in St. Paul, Minnesota.
At Cosmos Floral, we create designs that reflect the individuality of our clients by incorporating color stories and personalized flower selections. We strive for our designs to be more than just flowers—they are one-of-a-kind works of art that reflect the beauty and complexity of nature.
Not only does Cosmos Floral want the designs to tell a story for our clients, we want to be as sustainable as possible. Which is why we prioritize sourcing locally grown flowers from some of the best farms in the area, don’t design with floral foam—a toxic, non-biodegradable material, and compost as much as possible.

Bringing the Beauty of the Cosmos to every design.
At Cosmos Florals, we care about more than just the stars. We also care about our planet and people, which is why we have incorporated these sustainable practices into our floral business:
Locally Sourced
We prioritize locally grown flowers from Minnesota and Midwestern farmers to reduce our carbon footprint when in season. Out of the local growing season, we prioritize US grown flowers and foliage.
Foam Free Designs
We don’t use any floral foam in our designs. If you’ve ever seen flowers in plugged into a wet green chunk of foam, that’s floral foam—which is toxic. Floral foam breaks down into micro-plastics and ends up in our water ways, which then impacts living things that survive off of that water way (native flora, fish, other wildlife, and even us).
Recycling + Composting
We recycle and compost as much of our waste materials as possible. At the end of an event, any flowers that can’t be donated or repurposed elsewhere, we compost them. Packaging is reused as much as possible, or recycled when possible.
Non-toxic
We prioritize flowers that are in season and grown without chemicals. We don’t use any additional chemicals in our designs to reduce the amount of chemicals that end up in our water ways.
No Faux
You won’t see any faux floral in your designs ever. And along those lines, we won’t design with painted or dyed floral. We believe that the colors that come naturally are enough to create stunning pieces of art.
