About Us

Steve
Steve grew up in Chicago. When he turned 18 he moved to New York City to pursue a career in acting. In the meantime, he needed a job. Answering a help wanted ad for what he thought was a roadie job, he thought "awesome" Rock N Roll.
But it was for a high end floral and event design house. Not just any florist but, world renown Robert Isabell.
Isabell was the master of creating amazing parties for Studio 54 and the New York elite.
Steve's innate talent was shaped and fostered by the best of the best. He's been doing amazing designs ever since. Each one an original creative collaboration between the client and Steve the flower guy.

Gerri Ann
Gerri Ann grew in Melrose Park a little Italian community just west of Chicago. A creative soul always looking for ways to express her creativity, she opened an Art Gallery and Picture Frame Shop in the 1990's, but closed it after baby number 3. For the next 20 years she would picture frame on the side and work with her husband Vince in his technology company, VMedia Group, which has been rewarding but not all that creative.
Enter Steve, who likewise had decided to move to Southern California Wine Country. And together we decided to partner in Mambo fiori to create amazing florals for weddings and events here in SoCal. We look forward to providing our clients with a collaborative creative experience, beautiful florals and white glove service.

Dear Steve,
Thank you once again for providing the most beautiful and enchanting arrangements for the Film Society of Lincoln Center's Tribute Gala to Meryl Streep. All the arrangements were perfect to set the mood of the evening. I especially appreciated how you used three different, but complimentary styles of arrangements to alternate designs. This really proves your creative genius and out of the box thinking in conceptualizing events.
​
Having worked with you previously on the Opening Night Dinner for the New York Film Festival, I can say that your continued attention to detail is impeccable. Your knowledge of floral trends influences your approach to events, making each event you contribute to a unique masterpiece.
​
Along with your stunning arrangements, your color sense is top-notch. Your guidance helped me coordinate all the colors of teh table linens, napkins, and china so the whole evening flowed together seamlessly.
​
Thank you for making my job easier every step of the way. I look forward to many more collaborations with you on future events.
Warmest Regards,
Lynn Muckerman
Special Events Manager
Film Society of LIncoln Center
To Whom it May Concern:
​
As a Museum Director, former Commissioner of Cultural Affairs for New York City and Curator for the past 28 years, I have seen a great deal of Modern and contemporary art and design, some of it utilizing organic materials.
​
I can readily say that the orginality and creativity demonstrated by Steve Bruce in his design commissions transcends everything in high end floral design and enters the realm of art.
​
It is very rare indeed to find someone who possesses such a keen sense for the use of nature and flowers in particular. If these organic works wer not so ephemeral, I would certainly collect them!
​
One can, however, take the opportunity to enjoy his creations and share them with the people we care most about or the we hope to impress-both camps will be absolutelydelighted with their encounter with Steve's compositions.
I say Bravo! to this young and talented creator.
Sincerely,
Luis R. Cancel

Dear Steve,
​
We are back from Italy. I just wanted to let you know that you guys are amazing. I loved everything that you guys did. It was a phenomenal job. It was meant to be that my maid of honor found you. When every florist said it that what I wanted couldn't be done you guys went beyond what I wanted. It was meant to be that the other florists backed out. Thank you! Every one was talking about the flowers and how amazing they were. Some people got into arguments on who was taking the centerpieces home! I don't think words can describe how thankful I am. Perfection at its best.
Thanks a million, Elizabeth
Hello Steve and team,
​
Thank you so much for the disc. of pictures, if it weren't for you having taken them, I would have no pics. of the centerpieces, chuppah flowers, and food station arrangements. I want to thank you guys for all your hard work....everyting you did looked absolutely gorgeous. And you were honestly the only vendor I worked with that saw my vision and created exactly what I wanted. And I really appreciate that!
Hope you had a wonderful New Year.
All my best, Erica U.
Thanks for doing such a great job on our wedding. All the guests commented on how beautiful everything looked. Steve also wins the trooper award for putting together an emergency chuppah in record time. Thanks for planning ahead like that! Please keep in touch.You did a fantastic job. Kurt

Dear Steve,
Great Success. Thank you so much. I think my calla lily bouquet was the most beautiful thing I've ever seen! Fabulous job. Thanks again and take good care,
Sara
Thank you so very much for all your time and creativity with our wedding. Your enthusiasm was contagious and our vision could not have been realized without all your personal touch. You were so much fun to work with and we think you are so talented at what you do. We can't wait to share the pictures with you and hope you know how much your effort will mean to us always.
With love and sincere appreciation,
Lauren and Joseph
Thank you so much for making my bridal shower absolutely beautiful. One guest came up to me and said"I never take center pieces home, but these are so beautiful I have to take on e home with me!!!" Also everyone commented on the frosted glass vases, they loved them. Everything was gorgeous; the candles just set the mood perfectly, especially with the gloom weather. Thank you so much and I can't wait to have another event and work with you again.
Best, Niki
