Lion in the Sun was established in November 1981 in Solana Beach, California. The original aim was to present a full service floral design center to fulfill the needs of the community. A high style, tropical floral design ideology permeated the original conception.

Since its original inception, the design center has become a leader in the creation of fabulous weddings and celebrations for any occasion. Bookings are in demand not only for the local community, but also for the greater San Diego area, including La Jolla, Point Loma, Coronado, and Rancho Mirage, as well as the Los Angeles area, including Beverly Hills, and as far as Denver, Colorado.

Concepts for parties have ranged from "Moon over Morocco" (a celebration for the KIT Foundation) and "A Night in Casablanca at Rick's American Café" to "Frogpurgesnacht" (a parody based on the Walpurgesnacht Tale). Future events will include "Safari So-Good" (celebrating the writers of African Literature), "Anyway the Wind Blows," "Its Greek to Me" (based on the Greek theme of Ariadne in the Maze), and "The Spin-Off Auction" at the Hyatt Aventine in La Jolla benefiting the Stevens Cancer Center at Scripps Hospital. These parties are conceptualized by Day Power, the assistant. Additional celebrations that have been realized include the Grand Opening of Hitachi/America on Otay Mesa, and The Salk Institute of Biological Research Foundation Dinner in La Jolla.

The design studio is located in Solana Beach, California, and can be visited at any time of day between 8:30 am and 5:00 pm (weekdays), or between 8:30 am and 1:00 pm (Saturday). For particular meetings with Day, an appointment would be to the client's advantage. For additional information, please call (858) 755-9355.

Again, our goal is the creation of imaginative centerpieces for elegant events, and of floral orders for delivery to clients' homes, hospitals, work environments and other locations.
