Designs in Floral Artistry
Your customized floral experience:
The Look: Samantha aims to blend natural, organic elements with elegance and a classic touch in her design style. This approach often involves incorporating elements from nature, such as raw materials or organic shapes, while maintaining a sense of refinement and timelessness in the overall aesthetic. Achieving this balance can create spaces or designs that feel both invitingly natural yet sophisticated and enduringly elegant.
The Approach: Samantha's approach to floral design is characterized by a highly customized and detail-oriented process. By limiting the number of weddings she takes on each year, Samantha ensures she can devote ample time and attention to each client. This approach allows her to exceed expectations and create truly memorable experiences for her clients and their guests. By focusing on customization and attention to detail, Samantha aims to craft unique floral proposals that resonate with the clients' visions and preferences, ultimately enhancing the overall wedding experience.
Words of Wisdom:
Samantha offers insightful advice about using Pinterest for wedding inspiration. She points out that while Pinterest is a fantastic resource for gathering ideas, many of the images showcasing elaborate details, brides, bouquets, and decorations are from styled photoshoots. These shoots are orchestrated by industry professionals to display their best work, often without budget constraints.
She emphasizes the importance of being realistic about your own budget compared to the opulent displays seen on Pinterest. What you see online may not always align with what is feasible within your financial means. Additionally, Samantha reminds couples that many images online are heavily edited or filtered, presenting an idealized version of reality.
Her words of wisdom encourage couples to use Pinterest wisely, taking inspiration while keeping expectations realistic and understanding the context behind the images they see online.
