Wedding Pros Unveiled

I first met Lina Bteddini from Chanele Rose Flowers & Styling in December 2010 at the NSW Australian Bridal Industry Awards for Excellence where she was a finalist in two categories, Floral Design and Wedding Decorating. Lina is truly a master of her craft and has absolutely transformed many events through her unique flair for floral arrangements and styling.  Her work is always impeccable, unique and breathtaking and has been featured in many publications including Modern Wedding, Cosmo Bride, The Knot, The Lane and Polka Dot Bride.

Lina and her small team are very friendly and always excited to collaborate with clients and other vendors to create a spectacular theme to suit individual styles. It is obvious that floral design and styling is a great passion and it truly shows! Accordingly, it gives me great pleasure to spotlight this modern and stylistic floral designer & stylist; Chanele Rose Flowers & Styling.

What drew you to Floral Design and Event Styling as a profession?

It all started with a few short courses in floristry and I was hooked. I tried working in a florist shop but found that was not for me as I could not cope with being tied down in the one place! Started working with a few professionals in the wedding industry and loved it – I have not looked back since!

Styling has only been a new addition to the business as my photo shoots which I have styled have taken off in an incredible way – we are now being asked for styling tips by many brides who find themselves needing some tips in this area. We love Styling events just as much as we love floristry and I feel the two go hand in hand really!

What do you feel sets you apart as a Floral Designer & Event Stylist?

Pouring my heart and soul into each little detail that goes into styling each event! Chanele Rose Flowers are well known to intuitively understand exactly what people really want and delivering on the details. The team’s key values are integrity, reliability, pride & passion and are an inspiring bunch backed by a close knit family. Passionate about ensuring that the wedding or special event is all the client has dreamed and more.

What do you love most about your job?

I do love that every wedding is unique, love to meet new couples and working with them closely too!

If you had to describe yourself in one word, what would it be?

Looney and a bit of a martyr!

Today it gives me great pleasure to spotlight a modern and stylistic floral designer that until a few years ago was pursuing a completely different career. I first came across her work at Louise and Ben’s wedding earlier this year where I was immediately struck by the beauty and elegance of her creations. I introduce to you, floral artist Erica Elder of Erica Blossoms. Erica’s work is always impeccable, unique and breathtaking. She is friendly and always excited to collaborate with clients to create the flower arrangement of their dreams. Even though Erica only recently become a floral designer, this florist is truly a master of her craft and it is obvious that floral design is her passion and this comes out in her attitude and her art!

How long have you been in business?

Since April 2009

What drew you to Floral Design as a profession?

For 15 years I worked as a Special Education Teacher, but always knew my dreams and passions were with Floristry. So I undertook re-training for over 2 years, with hopes of owning my own business. That dream became a reality in early 2009 when I created ” Erica Blossoms”. Specialising in Wedding, Funeral and Corporate work. I have built a business around my passions.

What do you feel sets you apart as a Floral Designer?

I personally handpick all the blooms for each wedding, making sure the style of flowers reflects each individual bride and their special day! I only use the best quality and freshest flowers in all of my work, sourced directly from the growers. I am a dedicated florist who is extremely reliable and takes pride in making sure the flowers are absolutely perfect for each wedding day.

What do you love most about your job?

I love the pleasure beautiful flowers gives to each person – their delight, amazement and sheer joy at my flower creations! I enjoy the journey each wedding brings and I love sharing the joy of flowers with others.

If you had to describe yourself in one word, what would it be?

Meticulous

The invitation is really the moment when the scene starts to be set for your wedding. It is the first glimpse your guests get into the feel and vision of your event. Therefore, it is vital that you make sure that you use a designer that is passionate and cares about your wedding. With that, I introduce you to my next featured wedding professional Stacey Crowhurst from Lacey Lou Designs!

I first met Stacey on a bridal forum a few years ago when Stacey was in the process of planning her own wedding. I got to know Stacey very well and was very privileged to be able to share in most details of her exciting wedding journey. It gave me a great insight into the sort of person that Stacey is and I can assure that she will really look after you and make your stationery one of the easiest part of planning your wedding.

Brief Description of the business: Wedding/Engagement stationery for any sized wedding/budget.

Name: Stacey Crowhurst

Website: Lacey Lou Designs

Where are you located, and what geographical area(s) do you service?

Located in Melbourne but servicing all areas of Australia.

How long have you been in business?

12 months.

What drew you to Invitation Design as a profession?

I’ve always had a passion for paper arts. Event planning is a love of mine and when it came to designing invitations for these events, I spent hours researching the best products at the cheapest prices and spent hours mixing different materials together. It was actually my husband that told me to give it a go and see if others where interested in what I created after designing our wedding invitations 3 times. I found there was a lot of high end products and extremely cheap, 1 card invitations, but there was no in between.

What do you feel sets you apart as a Invitation Supplier?

Communication. The internet is just way too easy to hide behind, there are too many suppliers out there not willing to respond to potential clients ASAP. It was something I felt very strongly about, I want my clients to be able to contact me at any time of the day, knowing it will be only a few hours until they receive a reply. We keep in constant contact during orders, so clients feel at ease and get more and more excited every email.

What do you love most about your job?

The lovely words I hear back from brides about how their order has made their wedding finally feel real. Makes my day!

If you had to describe yourself in one word, what would it be?

Eager
