Influenced by my mother’s love of flowers and nature, I started being the one to arrange flowers when giving parties with others. This hobby turned into designing and implementing rehearsal dinners, weddings, parties and even corporate events. Buying every flower book that I could find was a great way to learn about flowers and the mechanics of floral designing. Hands on training from working with talented florists and taking Master classes from Larry Shaw and Kenneth Turner added to my passion. I have never met a flower that I did not like!
