DIY Flowers

DIY flowers are a great place for me to explain why hiring a professional floral designer is absolutely an essential for a party, event or wedding. So you get inspired on Pinterest and zero in on a few inspiration photos, and think "oh that's easy, I'll get a few bottles of wine, invite my friends over and we will simply make 25 centerpieces ourselves..." What could go wrong???

If you want your special event to look as well as those curated Pinterest photos, then hire a professional! Weeks in advance the proper amounts of flowers need to be coordinated and ordered. Next, vases are sourced and selected for perfect scale to the tables and cleaned and prepped. Proper care, handling and conditioning of the botanical material is very important to maximize the look and beauty of the flowers. There is a critical count down that begins the week of your event to choreograph the steps leading up to the big day. Oh let's not forget the engineering involved to move the flowers to your venue without any mishaps. A floral designer is the best investment you can make for a fabulous party because the flowers will live on in the photos taken of your special day. So yeah, go ahead and play with flowers for your home, but hire a floral designer for your celebration!
