My Announcement...

I am young and driven... I have interned and designed under some of the most talented floral and event designers that I know.... I have had amazing mentors from all facets of the industry... and I have dedicated countless hours to industry-related research and trends... and I do not expect a pat on the back because this is all part of the job description... but this summer something really interesting happened. I had a lot of changes in my personal life and this allowed me to take the slow summer season off to reflect on where I am and where I am headed... this blog was a result of my reflecting...
And my decision to return to school and finish my degree was the final outcome. Thus, I have decided to take the next year or so to really focus on accomplishing a task that has taken the back seat to my career endeavors for a little too long.... during this time, I decided to leave Riverside Event Design but am excited to announce that I will take my design background with me to First Coast Weddings and Events... and will act as an Independant Coordinator under the amazing Heather Trimboli.
First Coast Weddings and Events is located off the coast of Ponte Vedra Beach and boasts five years of accomplishments. Heather and I are collaborating on a package for brides that are needing creative direction and overall styling cohesiveness in addition to their coordination. I am excited to utilize my design background and black book of vendor recommendations in order to provide a tailored and well-edited "wedding coordination" experience. For all you brides in Jacksonville or destination brides eyeing the Sunshine State, I am now booking my schedule for 2008... and can be reached here.
