Summary

Most recently I was the Owner of Seaside Florals. My shop was based within The DonCeSar Beach Resort & Spa. We were the in house florist that created floral designs throughout the Hotel. We worked closely with wedding consultants and were involved in over 400 wedding and events yearly, from the very elaborate to the small and intimate. I am a FTD Master Designer and consider myself an accomplished designer in all areas of Floral Design.
