My Floral role models

Now, there have been many people in my life who I would love to be like. Mom-the eternal optimist, Dad-the social butterfly, Sister-the fashionable one, Husband-Best all around and many others who will likely be mentioned at a later date. However I thought it would be beneficial to those of you out there to understand where I would love to go with this Floral and Event Design business.

First up we have David Tutera http://www.davidtutera.com/. David Tutera has become a phenom in party planning working with such clients as Star Jones, Antonio Pierce, Jennifer Lopez, and Al Gore to name a few. He can now be spotted on WE TVs "My Fair Wedding".

Next up is Preston Bailey http://www.prestonbailey.com/default.htm. I have no idea how he can accomplish these outrageous floral sculptures but I LOVE them. He can make a dog out of flowers.. FLOWERS. When I grow up I want to be like Preston Bailey!

Both of these men have taken something which is seemingly so simple and catapulted it to a place far beyond the average persons imagination. These are no longer just flowers or centerpieces. Its a mood, a feeling, a vibe, a statement.
