    Wedding Day Magazine Cover Shoot

    Nov 02 2020

    As you know, 2020 has been a challenging year for many small business owners, and Design Quintessentials has not been immune to these challenges. Many people had to cancel, downsize, or completely reimagine their weddings. There have been moments when I have been frustrated and have simply wanted to throw up my hands. So imagine my enthusiasm when I found out that I had been selected to do the floral designs for the cover of Wedding Day magazine. This is the second year in a row that they've chosen me for this honor!  The Breathtaking, Zingerman Cornman Farm  Before I get into the design concept, I have to give a special shout out to our fantastic wedding venue, Zingerman Cornman Farm, in Dexter, Michigan. This farm is a ...

    Design Quintessentials Takes California: Floral Design in Marina Del Ray

    Oct 02 2020

    Family Time  Some of my favorite time in the world is the time that I get to enjoy with my family. And this family time is even more special when it brings together family members across generations. My grandmother is 94-years young and she loves to see her great-grandkids. So I make it a priority to visit sunny California at least twice a year. If it was not for work and other commitments, I would visit even more frequently.  But, I also like to combine family time with work adventures, so I …  Embracing Floral Design in Marina Del Ray  Marina Del Ray is a beautiful seaside community. The natural beauty of the community means that it is ideal to explore floral design in Marina Del Ray. The harbor that is ...

    Magazine Featured – Dexter Horse Farm

    Jul 01 2019

    As a Floral Designer, I’m always seeking a challenge. I always learn from the experience and feel good about overcoming any hardships along the way. Completing a task has never been an issue for me, as I can always figure out a way to get the job done. However, figuring out what I REALLY want and how I like to do things is the hard part. Believe it or not, half of the time I don’t even know what I like or want from a project. And that’s why the challenge is so fun. It forces me to take a closer look and find out the answers for myself. Consider this example below... Wreaths, Weddings and Farms So, a few months back, I wanted to make a wreath for an animal, particularly a horse. I always thought it would be a cool idea and unique ...

    Magazine Featured: The Treasury

    Jun 01 2019

    Guess what!? We were featured in a magazine! It was such an incredible surprise and honor when I received an email from Wedding Day Magazine about being featured. If you’ve been on their page before, then you know that their site is filled with so much inspiration for any bride, so I was so very happy when they reached out regarding one of the pictures on the Design Quintessentials Instagram page. The picture was then presented on one of their special Friday introduction articles.  Let Me Tell You More About It The picture selected was one of my styled wedding photos, with a gorgeous bride posing with a dazzling bouquet of flowers. The bouquet was mainly composed of a variety of white flowers, but we switched it up by weaving in ...

    Floral Workshop in Sunny California

    Apr 01 2019

    Part of being a professional is maintaining and keeping up our knowledge and skills. That being said, workshops are essential. They’re a great way to network as well as learn new tricks and tips. Workshops exist to challenge those who are already professionals by introducing new concepts and providing the chance for experimentation.  They’re highly recommended for anyone who can attend, especially if you’re interested in breaking out of comfort zones. Creativity flourishes in workshop settings, allowing anyone to recreate the latest trends and styles with their own twist. For a professional, getting more practice and learning new things is an important part of keeping up with the market and challenging yourself. My Workshop ...

    Magazine Featured – Alpaca Elopement Photoshoot

    Feb 15 2019

    Everyone loves a good Alpaca moment, right? I was so excited when I met the wonderful and talented Chettara and found out she was planning an Alpaca elopement photoshoot. Why? Because she needed a florist! I didn’t have to be asked twice before I agreed to the gig with a huge yes. This was a distinctive opportunity that I’d never heard of before but I was definitely up for the opportunity. Alpacas on the job? C’mon, I couldn’t refuse!  My New Furry Coworkers When I met my new fluffy coworkers, I was astounded to see that the Alpaca farm we were working on housed more than 60 Alpacas. Each one was microchipped and insured. Some Alpacas were worth over half a million dollars, just because of their fur! It was an incredibly unique ...

    Sometimes I do get carry away when I'm in the zone Sometimes I do get carry away when I'm in the zone and playing with pretty flower. Especially when I have the freedom to create and with access to the best quality of fresh flower. I mean, just look at these Dahlia... Usually I'm not a fan because their big heads and skinny stems but LOOK at these... They're just breathtaking and simply BEAUTIFUL. 😍⁠
