The full biography
A life shaped by flowers and the people who receive them.
For more than two decades, Naira Soghomonyan has worked in the language of flowers: color, movement, fragrance, proportion, and the quiet details that make a gift feel unmistakably personal. As owner, co-founder, and floral designer, she helps give LiNa Garden and Lina Flowers their creative point of view while staying close to the people and occasions behind the work.
Her career has taught her that a beautiful arrangement is not simply a collection of impressive blooms. It is a composition with a purpose. A birthday bouquet should feel alive with possibility. Wedding flowers should belong to the room and to the couple rather than compete with them. A sympathy design should offer presence and tenderness without asking anything from the family receiving it.
That is why Naira begins with meaning before mechanics. She listens for the feeling a customer is trying to send, then considers palette, focal flowers, texture, shape, scale, vessel, and the way the arrangement will be experienced when it arrives. The flowers may be romantic, modern, restrained, abundant, or quietly formal, but they should never feel anonymous.
Her design range moves from polished everyday bouquets and sculptural flower boxes to wedding flowers, memorial tributes, seasonal centerpieces, and custom event pieces. Years of hands-on work have made her attentive not only to the first impression, but also to balance, stem placement, transport, presentation, and the final handoff.
Flowers remain compelling to Naira because they allow care to become visible. They can celebrate without needing a speech, soften a difficult day, welcome someone home, honor a memory, or turn an ordinary table into a place people want to gather around. Their beauty is temporary, which makes the act of choosing and arranging them feel even more intentional.
Today, that combination of experience, emotional attention, and practical craft shapes the studio. A customer can begin with an order-ready arrangement or bring the team a more personal brief, knowing the work is connected to a real family florist in Van Nuys and to a founder who still sees every design as part of a human moment.

Why flowers
Because flowers can hold what words cannot.
Naira is drawn to flowers because they can carry feeling when ordinary language falls short. A bouquet can say I remembered, I am proud of you, I am beside you, or I wish I could be there. The message is held in color, movement, fragrance, and the care visible in the finished composition.
She also loves the transformation at the designer's table. Loose stems arrive with different shapes and temperaments; some create structure, some soften an edge, and some become the one unexpected detail that gives the arrangement its identity. Bringing those elements into balance is both disciplined work and creative release.
The temporary nature of flowers matters too. They ask people to notice beauty while it is present. For Naira, that makes floral design less about decoration and more about attention: attention to the recipient, the occasion, the room, the season, and the feeling someone hopes will remain after the flowers are gone.
That purpose is what keeps the work personal after more than 20 years. The materials change with season and availability, but the reason for arranging them does not: to help one person make another person feel seen.
To help one person make another person feel seen.
Family legacy
Something beautiful to leave behind.
After Naira became a mother to twins Armen and Arman, the future stopped feeling abstract. She and her sister Liana began talking about what they could build together: something creative enough to carry their personalities, useful enough to serve other families, and lasting enough to become part of the children's story.
The dream was larger than leaving behind a business name. They wanted the boys to grow up seeing that beautiful work can also be serious work; that care, discipline, imagination, and service can live in the same place; and that two sisters could take an idea rooted in family and patiently give it a life of its own.
The name LiNa holds that beginning inside it, joining Liana and Naira. It is a small name with a whole family story folded into it. Every time it appears on a storefront, an arrangement, or a delivery, it points back to the partnership that made the studio possible.
For Naira, motherhood gave the work a second purpose. Flowers were already her craft, but the studio became a way to model what it looks like to build with intention. The legacy she imagines is not only something the children might one day receive; it is the example they can watch now: show up, learn the details, care for people, and make something worthy of your name.
Armen and Arman do not need to become florists for that legacy to matter. What Naira hopes to pass forward is broader: confidence in creating, respect for careful work, loyalty to family, and the belief that beauty can be made useful in other people's lives.
That is the emotional center of the founder story. LiNa Garden and Lina Flowers are connected to weddings, birthdays, memorials, holidays, and everyday gestures, but beneath all of those occasions is one family's decision to build something beautiful for the next generation.
What she hopes to pass forward
A legacy made of more than flowers.
The business is part of the inheritance. The larger gift is the example behind it: build carefully, stay close to family, and use your work to make other people feel cared for.
A family name with purpose
LiNa brings Liana and Naira together in a name that keeps the sisters' partnership visible in the business they built.
An example before an inheritance
The legacy begins with what Armen and Arman can see now: care, consistency, creativity, and the courage to build patiently.
Beauty made useful
The studio turns floral craft into something people can use to celebrate, comfort, remember, welcome, and connect.
Design practice
Flowers for the moments that deserve a considered hand.
These are the areas that best reflect Naira's experience and the work available through the studio today. Exact flowers, scale, timing, and custom pricing still depend on the current brief.
The idea at the heart of her work
Make it beautiful enough to be remembered, and personal enough to feel as though it could belong only to them.

How she approaches a brief
Meaning first. Composition second. A thoughtful arrival at the end.
A useful floral process connects the emotional purpose of the flowers to the practical realities of scale, season, delivery, and placement.
01
Listen for the meaning
Begin with the person, room, or memory the flowers need to serve, then clarify timing, palette, scale, and practical boundaries.
02
Compose the color story
Choose focal blooms, supporting textures, movement, and negative space so the arrangement feels expressive without becoming crowded.
03
Finish for the real moment
Consider the vessel, presentation, card, transport, placement, and final handoff so the design arrives with its intention intact.
