Our Signature Design Process

This podcast episode is all about our signature design process and what we take my clients through to help them create their dream event. There is no right or wrong way to approach design and for me, I’ve curated my approach to go deep with my clients to give them an experience that is so personal to them that they can't help but rave about, rather than a standard floral arrangement experience. Make sure to subscribe so you don’t miss any future episodes!
