Where Flowers Become Art: Meet Statue of Design
Featured In This Article:
Some florists arrange flowers. Statue of Design builds moments. Since 2008, this San Antonio floral studio has been turning ceremonies and receptions into immersive, gallery-worthy spaces, from cascading hydrangea-filled receptions to floral chuppahs and dramatic overhead installations. Owner David Garcia calls himself “an artist first, designer second, florist third,” and you can see that order of priorities in every piece the studio creates.
If you’re looking for a San Antonio wedding florist who will treat your celebration as a blank canvas instead of a checklist, Statue of Design belongs at the top of your list. Here’s what makes this studio such a standout in our community.

Custom Wedding Florals, Start to Finish
Statue of Design is a full-service floral studio, and every design is created for that specific couple. In the studio’s own words, “Each event we design is entirely bespoke.” Couples can work with the team on:
- Bridal bouquets and boutonnieres designed around your style, palette and attire
- Ceremony installations, including wedding arches, floral chuppahs and statement aisle décor
- Reception centerpieces, from lush, overflowing tablescapes to sculptural modern arrangements
- Floral chandeliers and overhead installations that transform a ballroom or tent
- Custom packages and vessels, so every vase and detail is chosen to fit the design

What Sets Statue of Design Apart
Statue of Design was founded to “elevate the art of floral design in Texas,” and the studio’s work runs from the avant-garde to the timelessly traditional. Its signature look is classy, sophisticated and completely its own. Rather than repeating a house style, David and Lead Designer Cindy Rhines read each venue’s architecture and personality and design florals that feel like they belong there.
You’ve seen their work right here on Wed Society. At Anna & Ryan’s grand garden wedding at The Argyle, the studio filled the reception with cascading blue and white hydrangeas that made the space feel like a summer garden. At a vibrant Jewish wedding at the San Antonio Zoo, Statue of Design created the floral chuppah where the couple exchanged vows.

- Cultural and faith-based ceremonies that call for meaningful structures like chuppahs and arches
