It has been one year since our last encounter with Glendora Florist.
Before opening her studio doors for the first time in downtown Glendora, owner Dalel Snider never thought of becoming a florist. At the time, Snider was focused on supporting two teenage sons and her husband, who was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s.
After stumbling upon the studio in late 2010 and taking a leap of faith, Dalel purchased the local flower studio and opened for business on Valentine’s Day in 2011.
Now, two-time winner of the ‘San Gabriel Valley’s Best’ award, Glendora Florist continues to etch its mark of excellence throughout Southern California.
What makes Glendora Florist unique is their out-of-the-box thinking. “I wanted a flower shop that wasn’t a flower shop,” Snider says quizzically. “I love Louis Vuitton and wanted that same luxury experience for my customers.”
Dalel transformed her small-town shop into a luxury couture flower brand that is taking Beverly Hills and Southern California by storm. “Our floral arrangements don’t look like the every day. I love texture and unusual combinations. It’s art more than flower arranging,” says Snider.
Clients such as Porsche, Disneyland, USC, Wynn Hotels, and others have partnered with Glendora Florist simply because of their unique and tasteful arrangements.
Success has allowed Snider to turn her attention to creating jobs and contributing to the community. Dalel is a two-time winner of the Women of Excellence award, and served as chairman in various local organizations.
“Never did I think working in a floral studio would be so demanding,” expresses Dalel, “it is more than just cutting and arranging flowers… there is more depth to this industry and I enjoy working with individuals that are willing to grow and learn with me to meet our individual and team goals.”
The entrepreneur has maintained working with Stephanie Simpson, owner of Simpson Portraits, where they have created a dynamic business concept. Their work can be seen in the 2016 and 2017 issues of Ceremony Magazine, The Knot, Wedding Wire, and The Avenue.
Glendora Florist strives to make a legacy of excellence through floral masterpieces and a customized, memorable experience for their clients.
