Just In…..

I started the day with a wonderful way. A styled shoot publication that I planned and designed florals for. 

I excited to share with you

I have a styled shoot group that I started about 3 years ago. Since then, we have done over 50 shoots and published about 100 different publications. Unbelievable !

I am not patting myself on the back for two reasons. I started this group to meet other artists throughout the wedding industry. I see work ethic, skills, and personality. When my clients ask, I can tell them that I know all about them. Second, I get to expand my skills in ways I never am allowed before. I get the opportunity to do creations that are off the charts cool. 

If you ever want to see some of my creations, check out my styled group, Styled Shoots with Annette & Friends on Facebook.

Heart & Soul

I know there is so much to do when planning a wedding. Choosing your venue, finding that perfect dress, interviews of wedding vendors, tastings for food and cake, sending out invitations, and making out the guest list. Now you have selected what you want, who you want, and where you want it.
The last phase is the decor for the day. Shocked on all the monies you have spent, going thru pages of Pinterest, having everyone give their opinions. I know you are overwhelmed.
I want to be the one that makes the process as easy as possible when deciding what flowers you will be using. I like to give a three tier alternative to my clients. This gives you different ideas for your inspiration and taking into account the weather being a factor. Too cold or hot summer days are all taken into account when choosing your flowers.
So many choices to make the day your dream day. Don’t stress. Make this this best time of your life

When I have the opportunity to meet with my potential clients, I always try to remind them of the important “spots” on your wedding day. Those most photographed areas on your special day are the places you need to concentrate on. Think about it. Table 19 is not important as the sweetheart table.
Here are the areas of importance:

1. Your dress

2. Your bouquet

3. Your ceremony area

4. Your sweetheart table or where you are seated

5. Your cake

focus on those areas. I am not saying spend a fortune, but I am saying make them photography ready. I love to put the bridesmaids bouquets around the cake for a bigger punch of flowers. The bridal bouquet in the center of the sweetheart table to be seen all night. Make the ceremony backdrop flowers in in a container that is able to move and place around the sweetheart table.

There are many ways to make your pictures even better memories. I would love to help you.

I am a true believer that you always need to keep learning. I was so blessed to go to Miami with an opportunity to master the skills of larger wedding installation. Intrigued Designs with Sarah Campbell hosted an amazing two days of learning . Wow is all I can say. I am so pumped up. I got to meet the Mayesch Designer of the year, Shawn Michael Foley. Also met Farmer Nick NYC. These three are the best of the best. I felt like I was with royalty. And the best part was, I actually taught them one of my tricks that I have done in designing. I taught them!
i learned some really amazing ideas. I cannot wait to use them

Sometimes I like to play with ideas on my table. Tablescaping an idea and bringing it to life is so much fun. I get to create a vision, pull in elements to accent, and then fill in with floral vocals.

now think about that when you are planning your sweetheart table. We can design, create, and add. Design your story. Create your story with elements to bring it to life. Add your bouquet to give that punch of nature.
I love it! Look at some of my beach feel
