Why did you choose to work in
weddings/events? How did you get started?
My grandmother owned a florist and after growing up
in the business, I decided to focus on wedding and event floral. I love
designing and creating everything from the bouquet to the largest of
centerpieces.
How would you describe your style/product?
A very unique and modern approach to today’s
wedding floral. I listen to the bride and the dreams she has of her day and see
it as my focus to design floral to complement her desire and look of her
special day – everything from traditional to radically unique.
What separates you from other Birmingham area
vendors?
I am very educated in the floral field. I spend my
time working with brides from all over Alabama and spend the other time attending
wedding and event symposiums across the country keeping abreast with the latest
trends in my industry. I continue to educate myself with all of the new
material in the market and I am willing to take on a challenge! I love what I
do and it makes me appreciate every day I have working with beautiful brides
and blooms!
What would you be doing if you did not work in
weddings?
I think I would be working at Anthropologie as a
visual design director. I love visual merchandising and have a college degree
in it! I love taking unusual objects, displaying them in mass and thinking
“outside of the box.”
Favorite TV show and why?
I usually spend most of my time flipping through
magazines or reading books, so rarely do I catch myself watching much
television. If I have a bit of
background noise (which usually leads to a major distraction) I would have to
say that I watch HGTV and BRAVO shows.
Funniest moment you've ever witnessed at a wedding?
I have done a Greek wedding where they broke plates
on the floor during dancing. It was quite the exciting climax and everyone
enjoyed participating!
What advice would you give to brides on choosing a
photographer?
Look for a photographer that takes images that
reflect the style you would like to portray. Most importantly make sure that
you feel comfortable with your photographer – afterall, they will spend all day
with you and capture you in all your emotion.
What advice would you give to brides on the wedding
planning process in general?
Select your vendors wisely. Make sure to interview
each one and ask questions about their background, education in their field and
day of expectations. Once you have selected your team of vendors, give them
direction to your likes and dislikes, but also remember they are the
professionals and can offer wonderful suggestions to make your wedding a
magazine caliber event! Trust them.
