What is your favorite part of the job at Bloom Works? Meeting with our wonderful Clients and conceptualizing their dreams into reality.
What's the most memorable event you ever worked on and why? A Japanese/American Wedding. It was in September and the weather just turned cooler. The Bride wore a Kimono designed with every flower in every color you can imagine. The Wedding Florals and Cake Florals matched all the flowers in her dress. The Groom wore a beautiful black tux that complimented the Bride. There were 90 Guests, gorgeous hors d’oeuvres and a Xylophone Player who entertained everyone with songs from Traditional Japanese to Bossa Nova. All the senses were enlightened and all the guests seemed to really be celebrating the union of this Bride and Groom.
What are your hobbies outside work? Baking Cookies, Wood Block Printing, Intricate Coloring, Yoga, Meditation, Walking the Greenways of the Triangle and going to as many Museums, Galleries and Pop-Up Markets as possible.
