FOUNDER + lead designer
Lemon Leaf Florist’ founder Sydney (Grgurich) Standard has a few lifelong passions: learning, design, and creating opportunities to celebrate life’s biggest moments. It’s all about making beautiful memories. Sydney loves to travel, experience different cultures, and bring home design inspiration from beautiful resorts around the world…her main justification for vacations ;)
Paying mind to distinction and detail helps Sydney and the LLF team evolve their floral designs and stay fresh. The goal is to create chic, unique, and breathtaking installations.
After graduating from Texas A&M University, Sydney spent a summer attending a master floral design course in Covent Garden, London where she received the majority of her floral training. She’s also attended The Karen Tran Floral Experiences in Santorini, Greece and Guanacaste, Costa Rica.

daily delivery queen
Elise is your go-to girl for daily deliveries at Lemon Leaf. Her interest in floral design grew when she attended the Karen Tran Master Class in Santorini, Greece with sister Sydney, where she learned key techniques in floristry and was taught to build extravagant installations. She applies these techniques to each and every bouquets she sends out of our flower shop. Along with creating bouquets for daily delivery, she enjoys helping with weddings and corporate events.
Elise earned her degrees in Sociology and Communications at the University of Texas (Hook ‘Em Horns!). While in school, she studied abroad in London, England, and loved her time traveling through Europe. She ventured through Greece as well as Barcelona, Paris, Amsterdam, Sorrento, and southern England. She finds her eye for design is enhanced through exploring new places and cultures.
