I can’t believe we are already on Day 19! Today we’re featuring an up and coming florist: FioriBella. Rachelle and I met Regina of FioriBella Floral Design last year while preparing for the Perfect Wedding Guide Wedding Show. [Don’t miss the upcoming Perfect Wedding Guide Wedding Show on March 20th, 2010 at The Heathman; Win diamond earrings, a wedding dress and more!]  We came up with the idea to feature four seasonal table scapes through out The Heathman and Regina jumped in to do the floral arrangements. I have to say, they turned out more beautiful than I could have imagined. It was a rather last minute project…we gave her the details about the rental items we had picked out, which we rented from West Coast Event Productions, and the overall colors and themes of the tables and she ran with it! Regina is sweet, easy to talk to, creative and will listen to what you want…. Get to know her better here and make sure to visit her website to see more!

Champagne: How did you decide you wanted to be a florist?

Regina: Flowers have always been a passion of mine.  I’ve always thought that flowers bring so much joy and happiness to a home or event.  It all started as a hobby 8 years ago, and it gradually developed into a business.

Champagne: What are 3 things you love about being a florist?

Regina:
First, I love working with people, especially brides.  It’s so rewarding helping them to prepare for that special day of their lives. Working with brides is very personal and being a part of their happiness and joy is amazing.

Second, as a florist, I love seeing people’s faces when you deliver flowers to a wedding or arrangements for an event. Seeing that moment when the impact of the flowers hits them is magical for me. Flowers bring such joy to people. 

The third thing I love about being a florist is that actually working with the flowers makes me happy. I can’t explain it, it just happens. Working with flowers brings joy to my heart. I love it!

Champagne: How would you describe your ideal client?

Regina:  For me the ideal client is the one that really knows what she/he wants and is able to describe it. My ideal client would also love to splurge on flowers and would understand how important they are to an event. Flowers can help set the tone of an event, enhance the mood or venue, bring out emotions from people, they can just play such a powerful part.

Champagne: What do you like to do in your spare time? 

Regina: In my spare time I like to be with my family.  During the summer we spend a lot of time out on the river on our boat. I love to be on or near the water.

Champagne: How would you describe your floral style?

Regina: I would say that my design style is elegant, natural and tailored.  I love hand tied bouquets.  They are very simple and elegant. 

Champagne: Is there anything else you’d like to share with our readers?
Regina: Working with a studio floral designer, such as Fioribella, allows them to focus exclusively on your needs. I find that I have tremendous flexibility, whether it’s with making flower choices, container choices, or incorporating other décor or accents. Whether your budget is large or small, I believe you can still allow the flowers to be a stunning accent to your wedding.

Champagne: Thank you, Regina, for telling us more about FioriBella Floral Design! We look forward to working with you soon! Make sure to check out FioriBella’s website!
