first wedding for an Irish couple, I was amazed that 124 guests flew over from
Ireland to attend the wedding.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It was
even more surprising that this couple decided to have a wedding so far from home
with so many guests.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>My question was,
“why get married in Rome?”.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The answer
was, “if we get married at home we’ll have 300 guests and not know most of
them”.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In addition they enlightened me
about the weather in Ireland.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Rome is
famous for its sunny days even when the temperature is low.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The weather makes Rome a preferred location
for destination events.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>When you add to
that a panorama of history, good food and great wine, you will be happy you
chose Rome.<o:p></o:p></span></span><br />

couples like the traditional white for their wedding decorations but I assure
you that the photos will not be nearly as dramatic as using color in some
way.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Even using a strong color as an
accent will improve the impact the photos will have and let’s face it, the
photos (and the skills of the photographer<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">) the most
important part of the event.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Years later
the photos will be the only record of the wedding day.</span><br />

</span>There is good reason why red roses are given to sweethearts. Red is
symbolic of passion, love, and energy. Red runs through our bodies in raging
rivers of blood. Red rushes to our cheeks when we feel the heat of our feelings.
Red resonates with the <a href="http://www.whats-your-sign.com/chakra-symbol-mandalas.html"><span style="color: windowtext; text-decoration: none; text-underline: none;">root chakra</span></a>
and reminds us of our <a href="http://www.whats-your-sign.com/animal-totems.html"><span style="color: windowtext; text-decoration: none; text-underline: none;">animal
instincts</span></a>.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Red is the spark that
kindles our flames of desire. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Send red
flowers to someone who needs a jolt of energy - this shock of color is sure to
get their engines revving!<o:p></o:p><br />

look at wedding photos online and reflect on how you would like your wedding

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">When
the phone rang and on the other end was Guillermo Mariotto, creative director
for Gattinoni Couture my heart began to beat faster but when he asked if I was
free to work with him on a special project my hands literally began to
sweat.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He was looking for a florist who
is also a seamstress and that’s why he called me.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>My professional biography states that I am an
artist, seamstress and florist.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">The
collection for Spring/Summer was dedicated to Food which is the theme for Expo
2015 which takes place in Milan.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Each
garment in the collection was in some way connected to Food.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I was assigned to “Bread”, the element found
on every table in the entire world in some form.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Specifically I had dried wheat which had to be
hand sown onto a corset base using fine golden thread.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

The base was constructed by the skilled seamstress at the Gattinoni Couture atelier.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">The
entire construction required 53 hours of careful stitching in order to complete
the entire garment. The combination of organic material (wheat) and sartorial
skills was an incredible challenge for me but the skills that I honed will
remain with me for the rest of my career. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

the presentation of the collection was the high point of the week that I spent
working in the Gattinoni atelier.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It was
held in an elegant restaurant, “Open Colonna” that specializes in recreating
traditional Italian dishes in an unexpected way.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It was the perfect location for a fashion

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">The
2014 wedding season was particularly interesting for me.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Many couples presented me with challenging
requests.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>One woman walked in saying
that she heard that we “work miracles”.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>I love a challenge but that was a tough one even for me.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Couples
came to us who didn’t want any flowers at all but wanted us to create awesome
decorations and others came who wanted literally thousands of flowers.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>All of us at DebraFlower had a great time
working together to realize the dreams of our customers.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

came the bride that asked for contrasting textures. I created a bouquet that
included items that are not often seen in a bridal bouquet.<o:p></o:p></span></span><br />

those of you considering a destination wedding it is even more important that
you carefully think through your decorative dreams and the location you want
for your wedding date.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If you love the
English Garden style remember that warm weather locations like Italy or Spain
are not your best choices.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Also ask the location
or florist about holidays near the date that you are choosing for your wedding.
For Example, most of Italy is on vacation during August and in particular
August 15<sup>th</sup> almost everything is completely shut down. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

love winter weddings.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Of course I have

observation is that winter wedding dresses are really very special.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>While going into the church a bride can wear
some very dramatic white or ivory covering.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Hair and make looks great all day long in the cooler weather.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Last
weekend I designed a wonderful winter wedding.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>We were able to use flowers and greenery that are not available during
the summer months which means that our designs were so very special and
everyone commented on how beautiful they were.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
This wedding was designed with Dutch Tulips. </span>We were able to reuse the flowers for the reception because the cool
weather kept all of the arrangements in an ideal condition.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Winter weddings really do have so many
advantages.</span></span></div>

Bridal bouquet and Bridesmaid bouquets are all delivered about two hours prior to the ceremony. Afterwards we take just a short walk on over to Saint Isidore's Church to set up all of the decorations so the Church will be completed before the arrival of the guests and more importantly the Groom. We personally make sure that the buttonholes have put on each Groomsman correctly. Our staff is always on hand as the bride arrives to enter the Church just in case she has some special last minute need. Finally after the ceremony we remove all of the deocrations, ensure that the Church is in order and the we walk to the reception to set up, often using flowers from the Church to save on expenses and show kindness to the environment by reusing flowers whenever possible. All of this is done with minimal use of cars or trucks.</div>

Our first big wedding was for a couple who absolutely love the sea. Their request was to have an elegant decoration using the sea theme in a sophistocated way.
Their ceremony was held at the Sant'Alessio in Aventino.

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Decoration
outside the church for a wedding is a wonderful touch.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Decoration puts the guests in a cheerful mood
and almost welcomes them to enter.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It’s
a symbol that something special is about to take place. Unfortunately, it’s not
often that the budget for decoration allows a client to put flowers outside the
church. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>However, I encourage my clients
to allocate even a small amount to create a simple decoration that reminds
guest that a special ceremony is about to take place.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

easiest choice for your wedding day is of course the formal round shape bouquet
in cream or white. What you may not realize is that there are literally
hundreds of styles to choose from.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I’m a
traditional girl so if I was getting married today I would probably opt for
that simple bouquet. However my job is to realize the dreams of other ladies on
their wedding day and for this reason I have attended a number of
specialization courses to learn how to create various different styles of
bouquets.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

are difficult times to plan an event and even more challenging when it’s your

goes into a big group of stuff that needs to be paid for in some way.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

I really wish couples would talk about and then make a list of what they want

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Of
course as an event designer I pay attention to how the event will look when it
is photographed. When I suggest that an arrangement be placed in a particular
place, it is because I know that it will add to the beauty of the photographs.
I try to understand which items have special meaning for the bride so that the
memories of the wedding day will be extra special. The desires of the groom are
also important to me and I do my best to include them somewhere in my designs.
My goal is to maximize your budget to create beautiful photographs and memories
that will last a lifetime.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

may be your first time to hear about Villa Palazzola but it won’t be your
last.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>When I received an email August
2011 about an interview as florist for the Villa I wasn’t very excited because
I had never heard of it.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Like most of us
I immediately “Googled” it and was surprised by the beautiful and informative
website </span><a href="http://www.palazzola.it/"><span style="color: blue; font-family: Calibri;">www.palazzola.it</span></a><span style="font-family: Calibri;"> but all that did
not prepare me for the beauty of the place and the kindness of the staff.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

that initial visit I was literally hoping that they would choose me and shortly
afterwards I received the email that I was hoping for to confirm the request for
my design talents at Villa Palazzola. Over the past year I have worked a number
of times at the Villa for weddings and other events. The staff really does make
you feel welcomed.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They seem to find a
way to satisfy the most incredible<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">

reception area is normally outside because the view is so beautiful that I can’t
accurately describe it. Just in case it really does rain there is a classic
dining room which I personally love since it has Imperial tables. The food is

designed 62 weddings during 2012. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Most
of these weddings came to us from referrals from previous brides.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This makes us all very proud since it means
that we made a lot of couples very happy on their wedding day. I am
particularly grateful to my Irish customers who really show such gratitude for
my personal efforts and the overall production from DebraFlower.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">This
weekend saw an explosion of colour in our various events – from blush pink, to
lemon yellow, and even deep burgundy. The use of color themes in our wedding
designs is something that always inspires us, and allows us to use more varied
types of flowers. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">The choice
of using a colour in your wedding flowers, other than the classic white, allows
us to personalise your wedding in a way to reflect your character. Not to
mention the use of ribbons and other accessories in the same colour tones!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">So if you
are willing to dare a little, and want to try something different, we will find
the colour theme and flowers that are right for you! </span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">I just wanted to say a huge thank
you for the flowers you created for our wedding. They were exactly what I had
hoped for and more. You totally got the rustic feel I was going for and the
choices of flowers were just stunning! On the day of the wedding, I was
constantly looking at the center pieces and was in awe of your creation and for
the days after the wedding, the flowers remained around villa Palazzola and
everyone remarked on their beauty. I wanted so badly to take some home but
unfortunately I'll have to settle for my pictures and memories of them. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

My guess is that this is mostly due to the economy. If savings have to be made, this is one of the first places where decorations will be sacrificed. But when a woman decides to create a dramatic exit I am there to help her with designs.<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgjuiijZiqOXsWLuRQicjCZjXsH8eIoHKd0V6gWeOqLmtnx_fyFIYft5tyVEgSrrrKnBVwPx6jcDSjO6lJc7cydRiOUMxnNjfLpyrZsbicqdqMqTmtoFiGqDzwoDihz4o9aLgKNwWF7uks/s1600/2.JPG"><br /><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; width: 320px; height: 240px; text-align: center; display: block; cursor: pointer;" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5726338373345538530" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgjuiijZiqOXsWLuRQicjCZjXsH8eIoHKd0V6gWeOqLmtnx_fyFIYft5tyVEgSrrrKnBVwPx6jcDSjO6lJc7cydRiOUMxnNjfLpyrZsbicqdqMqTmtoFiGqDzwoDihz4o9aLgKNwWF7uks/s320/2.JPG" /></a><br />Probably one of my personal favorites was the Palm tree decoration that I created recently for a woman of Ethiopian heritage who wanted to create the feel of the exit used in the Ethiopian culture.<br /><div><div><div><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; width: 320px; height: 278px; text-align: center; display: block; cursor: pointer;" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5726338365797761682" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhHD6ozMy_jfS-qdCC0Z5539XW7aME5dMsgF2lAkYVAlqCtwMIOTEKIhyphenhyphenlAw9fKMVVfw49CE07vdVjbxiaLzZbvyeyNyXzh7nQY7ti3ZKpQ2ykDgycfR606r4PIhK35IKTatpibSeS-XwA/s320/3.JPG" /><br />Even the groom can get involved. An Albanese groom came to me with a box of feathers and asked that they be incorporated into the exit decorations for the bride. My desire as a designer for weddings is to realize the bride and grooms dreams in the prettiest way possible. So here is the brides exit decorations.<br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjKwCuMxm8jSiORv2e4H-gob0bwTijiyk3Wzbl8BtCe5GC0Rk9BD10KNa4WsL8omeSms1TnK6Kpd8EJvdJtlspVPrUTt0N-KZ_6hIDOmJcYiGYoXcr7jsXDJF21M2jeSDlZ0QPnDySUf24/s1600/4.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; width: 263px; height: 320px; text-align: center; display: block; cursor: pointer;" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5726338362619653602" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjKwCuMxm8jSiORv2e4H-gob0bwTijiyk3Wzbl8BtCe5GC0Rk9BD10KNa4WsL8omeSms1TnK6Kpd8EJvdJtlspVPrUTt0N-KZ_6hIDOmJcYiGYoXcr7jsXDJF21M2jeSDlZ0QPnDySUf24/s320/4.JPG" /></a><br />The Italian bride usually goes for something more traditional for her culture. This classic design can be used anywhere and in any culture and still be considered chic.<br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEimL-8fMx3W2VqSe19VxRV2wXigh-Q7Z20z5cmh6gNH7udaz59APQ9OVxHWxE_eZ-bi4XYo5R6u-nTqoizJ_o_tbkUFa66IPBjBZL37JtCJqjo0UUsDEAXLeov_oJC1IwvJ8PzuAxL7HBI/s1600/5.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; width: 240px; height: 320px; text-align: center; display: block; cursor: pointer;" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5726338352628966738" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEimL-8fMx3W2VqSe19VxRV2wXigh-Q7Z20z5cmh6gNH7udaz59APQ9OVxHWxE_eZ-bi4XYo5R6u-nTqoizJ_o_tbkUFa66IPBjBZL37JtCJqjo0UUsDEAXLeov_oJC1IwvJ8PzuAxL7HBI/s320/5.JPG" /></a></div><div><br />When a bride lives in a private home, I try to incorporate what is already there to create the exit decorations. In this way the bride has decorations while maintaining the feel of her family home.<br /><br />Just ten more days and the local wedding season begins. Even though many people are cutting back on their spending I have noticed that many brides are spending money on exit decorations. Maybe leaving home has become more symbolic in some way. I will continue to design bridal exits that reflect the culture and personal style of my clients.<br /><br />Happy Easter and Passover!!</div><div> </div><div>Debra</div></div></div></div></div></div></div>Debrahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01090428988164525720noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4424256449969358618.post-73128951198964349292011-12-13T03:05:00.000-08:002011-12-13T03:29:48.097-08:00Calla lilyCalla<img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 291px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5685570151231790274" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiYEenN_0RPeKBOmH0h64gXk9KycI8KRKnkkoSOTR5vEdbnHNbSPh_oRRkb4bywZtSovnE2OEHrurVP4n0fxuSSyJ9RdFbdQjK8TWKiIdcLDaAyZvmYjELU03wpDf-tJczfWylT24BPdf0/s320/white.JPG" /><br />Every time I meet with a lady who is planning her wedding and we go through photos of my designs of bridal bouquets questions are proposed when they see the group of Calla lily bouquets.

Sardinia is best known for its beautiful beaches and sea. The colors of the Sardinian sea range from light blue to turquoise to dark blue. I spend literally hours on the beach relaxing and allowing my creative juices to regenerate.<br /><br /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 263px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 195px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5667461224676589010" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivEMeiYtXislWE-5sjq06cQvoMbNCkKKb8txq0aR1zhD8haZW1Bq7L21qrSWSJm2d1d7q8TxxvGdbdeX5cLdn0lJlXqfOD2QW1IlUD1d_rNzG4OhnYyIezKBX4HHs1pDBde-oZB6cJ3Wk/s320/IMG00093-20110827-1018.jpg" />This summer my good friend Sergio insisted that we do something cultural. So one morning he woke me up early, we got dressed and had breakfast at a wonderful place right on the beach.<br /><br />Nuraghe<img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5667462714800570130" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgGWShSkBixmQYHhST-ukm3SFkYC4kbIO82P9WGfR0o-BUoLb3mTZ1v1kawrj03UYNLD5yp3ZrZwSHvQ9dg8b6dMj4jdmsaZT3Ls6qcUeOkXv4xqaa-TGFOkzVwSdgWYalYJP7yItq-wqM/s320/DSCN4138.JPG" /> Afterwards he said he had a surprise for me. Twenty minutes later I let out a shout as Sergio drove up to a Nuraghe, an ancient Sardinian dwelling. The Nuraghi were constructed between the 18th and 15th centuries BC.

When Caroline came into my studio with a bag in hand, I instinctively knew that something special was about to be requested of me.<br /><br /><br /><br /><div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5652159287325488098" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 266px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 310px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgPdLVHqZ86999pJDKg1cDh30HMWgjvuOWxwrIOrdrT-WOIS9h6nEaS4WmuOqanNircICcCa3BMcfe2sfmgHC3OrcKhPSrNirue6v1rJOo1feWDcLbZisIdyaNBbU-cD3dndnSEM8rqzG8/s320/036matrimoniox.jpg" border="0" /><br />In the bag, Caroline had the remains of her bridal bouquet from 25 years ago. Examining the “bouquet” I was amazed at the changes that have occurred over the past 25 years but also the similarities. The bouquet remnants were mostly “Bling” of tiny pearls which is very current in Bridal bouquet design. There was also leaves in satin with sequin trim, totally out of date. Caroline’s special request was that I use these remnants of her Bridal bouquet from 25 years ago to create a beautiful bouquet for her 25th wedding anniversary celebration. I was more than excited to design this very special bouquet.<br /><br /><br /><div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5652159287782357778" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiV5AkEegnw-4383saegA6grJH3vuuD1ehWptfQpE6hTn7YGhUf6EjNe41JjG9X1kSSgP92CnULyh3KlOKVmQeXJOcijSyBLuQ2RMY1YS8VD2eipD4EY2tS6EYoqKMjaCU-AjyLSmpEh7U/s320/DSCN0793.JPG" border="0" /><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiJEFWvS6BaWqxAwdn-Xt1CzHNju6OIZqwYyUdT0YndLJf3gjk2nn523dsWW2l4905eOTx6x1n_PHamzmuaI2ddxu_P2nB7_60Jf7irRvuiboeh7Kimh5SnyIdHEeAhJ0OU-g57QZRta94/s1600/DSCN0792.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5652159284629491378" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 256px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 251px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiJEFWvS6BaWqxAwdn-Xt1CzHNju6OIZqwYyUdT0YndLJf3gjk2nn523dsWW2l4905eOTx6x1n_PHamzmuaI2ddxu_P2nB7_60Jf7irRvuiboeh7Kimh5SnyIdHEeAhJ0OU-g57QZRta94/s320/DSCN0792.JPG" border="0" /></a> <br />Separating all of the components was my first task. What amazed me most was the technique that was used 25 years ago to assemble a bridal bouquet. Techniques that are now considered counterproductive when trying to keep a bridal bouquet fresh looking for an entire day without water. Afterwards I whitened all of the pieces, rewired every piece with clean floral tape and began wiring flowers in order to reassemble everything into a new bouquet.<br /><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5652159296082713938" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 299px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 273px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjXzpGCsTVQM7FB4x2_itKARhXjab0B60V-zFFoWda1y45uHFEY_4T1KWfke70qT7mmRYFpvW7OrALcPsTsG-1uG9IlgN-Qre64cOR-eGllnQavCZh0MgIVqMAc3hLwadf0Vy8lqsOfvj0/s320/IMG_3609+-+Copia.JPG" border="0" /><br />The results were very beautiful . It excited me that a bouquet style from 25 years ago would look so beautiful today….true beauty is timeless. It also inspired me to use different materials in the future for a special touch in my designs of bridal bouquets.<br /><br /><br /><div>If you have some heirloom or special goodluck piece, remember to present it to the florist to see if if can be integrated into your bridal bouquet. Your wedding day should be personal and very special from every aspect. Like Caroline, when you celebrate your 25th wedding anniversary you should have something unique from your bouquet to remember that special day.</div><br /><div></div><br /><div>Contact me if you need more inspiration.</div><br /><div></div><br /><div>All the best,</div><br /><div></div><br /><div>Debra</div></div></div></div>Debrahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01090428988164525720noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4424256449969358618.post-19572107713896992512011-07-27T02:28:00.001-07:002011-09-21T04:12:13.224-07:00The TableSeashells<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjd17f0Z0GoD2qWJOH0YT9SUk0ZOcrRunJDGiktbL6vgtMlx_uriqhA4NcDPru6VZ-LQOIh7dAj8ZqQfMQk7tlGfKH9-dt4fD9jB94Kg85RGKk68pdQeCKFTL6qLJyRA6wSfWM1jVFpTNk/s1600/b1.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5654766477134715042" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 242px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjd17f0Z0GoD2qWJOH0YT9SUk0ZOcrRunJDGiktbL6vgtMlx_uriqhA4NcDPru6VZ-LQOIh7dAj8ZqQfMQk7tlGfKH9-dt4fD9jB94Kg85RGKk68pdQeCKFTL6qLJyRA6wSfWM1jVFpTNk/s320/b1.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><div><br /><div>Home, ceremony and reception….. I've been very busy over the past few months. I am lucky that so many married couples have booked me to design their wedding decorations.This year I have had many more requests for reception decorations than from previous years.

Designing a wedding in the outdoors allows me to work with nature and what better place than the natural beauty surrounding the Borgo to create an outdoor wedding. <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiHTwMn2BV_9m3rkRLrja7hhiuA5ZRqglBkYMp-18e505ho6aVMV-5dVmu1uQHcDySnuSI2ppEtk4gNc-2-z9HVv-S-kcYWNDYR0TGlPTCVl-VihkCOm53xW4HPKFC0chxDdS-ey5g310Q/s1600/Garden.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5595027201432056514" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiHTwMn2BV_9m3rkRLrja7hhiuA5ZRqglBkYMp-18e505ho6aVMV-5dVmu1uQHcDySnuSI2ppEtk4gNc-2-z9HVv-S-kcYWNDYR0TGlPTCVl-VihkCOm53xW4HPKFC0chxDdS-ey5g310Q/s320/Garden.JPG" /></a> This couple had many requests. The bride had a vision of what she wanted her garden wedding to look like and I had to turn her dreams into reality. Not always are dreams easy to realize. Actually what the bride wanted would have been very costly. In addition her ideas conflicted with the surroundings of the Borgo and specifically in the garden where her ceremony was to take place. The Bride wanted a constructed floral arch. She also wanted it to somehow be used to decorate the tables at the reception. Now that is a very tall order.<br /><br /><div><br /><div><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiv5s038Wcaj2fkzVnFS8Nf6jOGS9H90QPZkbEpNytUgzUrcd-5NfiIWEZoZ_Bz_9Js_T_svBivD-KYdw9wbrdjHRXIXezTEw0L6-r4cFgL-u34kQlLUZ0dPAiiWNETewVcQOzva1yaY7g/s1600/out2.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5595027018124510818" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiv5s038Wcaj2fkzVnFS8Nf6jOGS9H90QPZkbEpNytUgzUrcd-5NfiIWEZoZ_Bz_9Js_T_svBivD-KYdw9wbrdjHRXIXezTEw0L6-r4cFgL-u34kQlLUZ0dPAiiWNETewVcQOzva1yaY7g/s320/out2.JPG" /></a><br /><br /><br /><div><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgp1G8Jw_chWKoDQR62OMpCVtnY_puiyvwr5I7cIC2cYuYFx4u6h1mdAi9melQzkKXZ_5MhpV-_aAkPB8vyc2NkHWQd8ipTQQOCquRhAxbeVVyrKz2D1k5kU-K4U8NNK8gQQo0d6qhqQN0/s1600/out.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5595027001849430050" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgp1G8Jw_chWKoDQR62OMpCVtnY_puiyvwr5I7cIC2cYuYFx4u6h1mdAi9melQzkKXZ_5MhpV-_aAkPB8vyc2NkHWQd8ipTQQOCquRhAxbeVVyrKz2D1k5kU-K4U8NNK8gQQo0d6qhqQN0/s320/out.JPG" /></a> First I suggested that we do something more natural, using the elements of the garden to create the arch and not construct an arch. This also allowed one to see all of the surrounding greenery without obstructions. For this couple I added to large urns on columns filled with flowers. Normally I love to use lots of interesting greenery but on this occasion I did not use greenery at all. There was more than enough greenery already in the garden so I only added flowers. The final affect was elegant and beautiful. <img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5595027017472195762" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi6soqcdGp2-LyugJn9fvSZ1Ev7bGj0JEPZnlCriB3mTdWCeadhs9jVOflhCR5fZodeRVZvpqebsElxdJj0xJBLSGKGT8By21oQXd5GCPOZu-fCkR09YN5y7KLeEbSKCypZzIOrroqLj4g/s320/out3.JPG" />I encourage couples to reuse their ceremony flowers in some way to decorate the reception and this time it was a specific request from the couple. We used the flowers from the urns to fill vases to create the centerpieces for the reception. This allowed us to give a sense of Theme while saving money and above all respect for nature. <img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5595027020896684370" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhbVzwi9CNFlK2NrIlaGc7PqaBVK1X17G2D_aBsRK8V1I80FdoOLUMeiCrP3pwZvLWKHULsCIqjuPPqRcaCAgCtlGsFL8M5nkvWCbW8DvROJ2tslgvOOuWI8KPFSSSzrnt0U86o1npyCT4/s320/out4.JPG" /> For me and my staff this was a wonderful occasion. The designs were lovely, the bride radiant and the day was beautiful. Special thanks to the staff at the Borgo for their kindness and laughter.</div><br /><br /><br /><div>So pleased,</div><br /><br /><br /><div>Debra </div><br /><br /><div></div></div></div></div></div>Debrahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01090428988164525720noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4424256449969358618.post-31738958379882784342011-03-04T02:15:00.000-08:002011-03-10T07:01:53.118-08:00Borgo di TragliataBorgo Di Tragliata<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjVz6ckqc9J10TotZ46sqTIMtWpy55HNuVmWNhVrvbL2FAlK0KgLQH5RqnuHb1NcSfber_nRd_p9wfHQavhHxzkleE8UHiTBXiNT5a6wn7TK-GqcoigQXsBVT8RC8morxBou_sbzxPByMA/s1600/api.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5580169414779366466" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjVz6ckqc9J10TotZ46sqTIMtWpy55HNuVmWNhVrvbL2FAlK0KgLQH5RqnuHb1NcSfber_nRd_p9wfHQavhHxzkleE8UHiTBXiNT5a6wn7TK-GqcoigQXsBVT8RC8morxBou_sbzxPByMA/s320/api.JPG" border="0" /></a> During 2009 a customer called me to ask if I would design her wedding at the Borgo di Tragliata. The Borgo was not new to me but I hadn’t designed decorations for it. A few years before I was there as a tourist. Yes, the Borgo is that beautiful that you would want to see it even if you are not planning a wedding or party there. In addition it is close to the Fiumicino Airport yet a very short ride into the center of Rome.<br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgx6vrVfjkFQq7OnHZj1Z1yZ53MnG77pS-P5UGV5pOclapwNmZIZOkasjKReG2gBB4ItHZhXWOqd0Z-6btlf4H23_lA93H8v_0h2p0arLCUe250Trihj02dswIjGEV8s_ERbPY3rGEZPo0/s1600/api1.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5580169415312546626" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgx6vrVfjkFQq7OnHZj1Z1yZ53MnG77pS-P5UGV5pOclapwNmZIZOkasjKReG2gBB4ItHZhXWOqd0Z-6btlf4H23_lA93H8v_0h2p0arLCUe250Trihj02dswIjGEV8s_ERbPY3rGEZPo0/s320/api1.JPG" border="0" /></a> Since my first visit I have designed many weddings at the Borgo for Irish as well as Italian brides. The beauty of the location is that the church and the reception are within walking distance from one another. The bride and groom can wake up at the Borgo, get dressed and walk to the church for their wedding…..all so very romantic.<br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiEMK1lIpdyzKh8t-UFtr8gNsp1nNsxEwhgXPT2XFf4gy2PGfEY7iO90A1o9zfjE0czVR8x32fv-h_nuPQmrArj3fDdtS8MGROcHM2NNpfWqvszVHx4cIuHNLOQ7pJ_Mbc4se8hYkkim78/s1600/api2.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5580169408823480914" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiEMK1lIpdyzKh8t-UFtr8gNsp1nNsxEwhgXPT2XFf4gy2PGfEY7iO90A1o9zfjE0czVR8x32fv-h_nuPQmrArj3fDdtS8MGROcHM2NNpfWqvszVHx4cIuHNLOQ7pJ_Mbc4se8hYkkim78/s320/api2.JPG" border="0" /></a> It’s my personal opinion that flowers should not be wasted. Usually I suggest that the flowers from the church be reworked so that they can be used for the reception. Sometimes I add more flowers for the reception to create the effect that they are completely different yet maintaining a theme between the wedding and the reception decorations. It is my goal to create something original and special for each bride. I do not create the same thing for each wedding. Church decorations start at 50euro.<br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgH0Wob9jEm5j9Lab6ovPIWhRposlQhuLgKhVu08nRrZttiokpdnUDs3qUtj9rCwwK7wBIZrUiGnQRRRxZ3lCYdgXEZb5qQ5awZcSg1U3DY9LtGhV9v6f7vQlEfBz14hqZ525Z_sThNueY/s1600/api5.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5580169409666971234" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 264px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 203px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgH0Wob9jEm5j9Lab6ovPIWhRposlQhuLgKhVu08nRrZttiokpdnUDs3qUtj9rCwwK7wBIZrUiGnQRRRxZ3lCYdgXEZb5qQ5awZcSg1U3DY9LtGhV9v6f7vQlEfBz14hqZ525Z_sThNueY/s320/api5.JPG" border="0" /></a> I will be designing a number of weddings at the Borgo this wedding season and I hope you come back to see the work that I have completed. You will notice that I never do the same decorations twice. I sincerely believe that each couple should have something designed especially for them that reflects their tastes and budget. For this reason I do not have a "package". When I design especially for your wedding , you will pay for the items you choose. Be very careful that a package deal with a very low price are not flowers that are not good quality and arrangements constructed properly. Your wedding photos are what will remain for the rest of your lives together. If the photos have been ruined by ugly wilted flowers there will be nothing you can do to change it.<br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjVSBFIf38JdWVNGDJ6YtxXqrB4K2YWUKjxByI29k0-dHMb0GXTOc4lyf5p_PuA8Vytfd1K7a4Xe9MMdLhO_6lMVRlF7KshGvRz1cVl76_cv0AIBA1Dra01gZtq1l8awiZn01nbbeSTDsk/s1600/api6.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5580169404938810258" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 279px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 203px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjVSBFIf38JdWVNGDJ6YtxXqrB4K2YWUKjxByI29k0-dHMb0GXTOc4lyf5p_PuA8Vytfd1K7a4Xe9MMdLhO_6lMVRlF7KshGvRz1cVl76_cv0AIBA1Dra01gZtq1l8awiZn01nbbeSTDsk/s320/api6.JPG" border="0" /></a>Florally yours,<br /></div><div> </div><div><br />Debra<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div></div></div></div></div></div>Debrahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01090428988164525720noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4424256449969358618.post-63225851941566985652010-11-30T03:45:00.001-08:002010-11-30T03:56:08.171-08:0090th Birthday CelebrationThe Centerpiece<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhstx9DN_QBTxMi6EIZ9TBX4l1GkyL3PKcC0lHYV1h_KOB48QuZpSK7zhxM13y8G2hDcCBDU2thlfocB2k3DRkWnfePsLejYGQ_sYZg7VI-4Pogo-R3QaIMruBrg5GM-lnyZx20pfqhoIU/s1600/lila5.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5545307999613437586" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhstx9DN_QBTxMi6EIZ9TBX4l1GkyL3PKcC0lHYV1h_KOB48QuZpSK7zhxM13y8G2hDcCBDU2thlfocB2k3DRkWnfePsLejYGQ_sYZg7VI-4Pogo-R3QaIMruBrg5GM-lnyZx20pfqhoIU/s320/lila5.JPG" border="0" /></a> When I am asked to decorate a party I always get so excited and when the request is to create decorations for the 90th birthday celebration someone’s Grandma…..well that’s really special. It was a real pleasure for me when my customer with a lilac paper plate in her hand came in to ask me to create centerpieces for grandmas birthday party. The budget wasn’t a big one but I always find a way to create something beautiful with almost any budget.<br /><div><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgqCVUJBqVBJtTr5uY8MAFpqTQxmFS5OmYKYVATyHMOxkQlIa85kgp9QRCKeZ98IqsFn0wZq-pj7lDm_yIOF6999Z975sMyHfuKDVuyqLTf67SLLkBf_1LNiZxv9Yk4WyScsWqC573tmBM/s1600/lila2.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5545307890114662578" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgqCVUJBqVBJtTr5uY8MAFpqTQxmFS5OmYKYVATyHMOxkQlIa85kgp9QRCKeZ98IqsFn0wZq-pj7lDm_yIOF6999Z975sMyHfuKDVuyqLTf67SLLkBf_1LNiZxv9Yk4WyScsWqC573tmBM/s320/lila2.JPG" border="0" /></a> As usual customers don’t fully understand floral materials. Often they don’t really know what they want in a design. It’s my job to draw them out. To carefully listen to their comments and interpret them into a floral arrangement or decoration using other types of materials. So it was with the lilac paper plate and a few questions that I designed these decorations.<br /><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgEAv5WqbRfCfc4Cm8Zlt-OluujYeOhgfSr-tifzhsSAQHlMHpeJIRGHbS_OMqBxzCWfKUYrSMO7Tq0nmdTnJGJeNszteM8GaUpnH_8up8iT5pHZyh5P3llTrkb4chO5-zI_0yNTXdZYfk/s1600/lila.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5545307882616889186" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgEAv5WqbRfCfc4Cm8Zlt-OluujYeOhgfSr-tifzhsSAQHlMHpeJIRGHbS_OMqBxzCWfKUYrSMO7Tq0nmdTnJGJeNszteM8GaUpnH_8up8iT5pHZyh5P3llTrkb4chO5-zI_0yNTXdZYfk/s320/lila.JPG" border="0" /></a>The best part of all was the phone call that I received from the customer saying that we received numerous compliments for our work. Compliments that we deliver more than a customer ever expects and we do it on time. I suppose all this is the result of having a job that I really do love and get excited about each time a customer comes in to decorate a party or wedding. </div><div><br /></div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5545307985792983266" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjrti7BNbM8MAv9IlBFwCkAvpCByvs_dnkHaVNT_jZHzSjEnmpfovVH8W-Hsq13EiJwO9kB2OyCUGv4_uZ3Ss5ah1iLAC4u-kwNyHUcC-m5inuI5nk_F9H8bhApK8Wkatuij8uCo225Np8/s320/lila3.JPG" border="0" /><br />I hope you enjoy the photos as much as I enjoyed doing the work.<br /></div><div>Happy 90th birthday to “Grandma”.<br /><br />Debra<br /><br /><div></div></div></div>Debrahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01090428988164525720noreply@blogger.com
