Anne Appleman Wins Best Florist

You told us: is the best floral shop in Sonoma.

With over 20 years of experience, Appleman specials in extra-special bouquets and fine flowers for special events.

You might almost miss her tranquil home base – a French country cottage tucked across the street from the Sonoma Mission. Inside, brash and muted blooms line the walls. Appleman takes the locavore movement to heart with her arrangements, which source from a variety of local and regional vendors and growers. (See the full list on her personal site.)

The shop uses a unique portfolio of seasonal and hard to find florals: That's why, she calls herself the "go-to" florist for weddings and special events. Though, she also holds contracts with restaurants and office buildings.

Congradulations Anne! You've got us looking forward to summer.
