Waterlily Pond Design Studio, has become recognized in the San Francisco Bay Area for their artistry and innovation. One of the most sought-after sources for weddings and special events, Waterlily Pond was voted “Best of the Bay Wedding Flowers” by San Francisco Chronicle readers. Natasha Lisitsa, owner and lead designer, is known for her unique style fusing Eastern and Western design principles, often referred to as “exuberant ikebana.”

Waterlily Pond’s creative team was commissioned by SFMOMA and the de Young Museum to design and craft large scale floral installations for high-profile art openings. In March 2009, Waterlily Pond created a magnificent 800-pound floral display that floated in mid-air above the atrium during the de Young Museum’s 25th Anniversary of Bouquets to Art exhibit.
