Marie Antoinette Inspired Creative Shoot
I love it when I can create without the pressure of it being a wedding…although I am very good under pressure…a creative shoot is just so much darn fun! I love working with new vendors within the industry and being able to design styles that I don’t normally get to.

Preferred Wedding Florist, yet again!
Well, 2010 is starting out very exciting!
As most of the people who know me will say that I don’t only define myself as a Wedding Designer but also as an Entreprenuer. I think you have to really own that title when you are running your own business. I am very good at marketing my business and love it when I can see all of my hard work of “getting my name out” , come full circle.
This is also the first year that I am designing much more then just weddings. The “Special Events” are rolling in! Bar Mitzvahs, Bridal Showers, High End Funerals, Rehearsal Dinners, etc etc
I am very excited to have such a diversified list of events this year!
So, without further ado, I introduce you to the Preferred Wedding Florist for:
The New Haven Lawn Club, New Haven (just signed up with them this week!)
The Omni Hotel at Yale, New Haven (new this year!)
The Water’s Edge Resort and Spa, Westbrook (6 months and going…)
The Woodwinds, Branford (seems like I’ve been designing wedding there forever….4 years!)
The next one in my sights…..Cascade in Hamden….I’ll let you know when that is final. They are really impressed with my creations!
David Tutera; The Man, The Myth, The Legend!!
Me and David Tutera
I did it! I met the fabulous David Tutera!!! For all of you who don’t know him, he’s the best wedding designer/planner out there! He tells the brides like it is, in such a delicate, “real”, compassionate way. Sometimes brides need to hear the hard truth about style and taste for them to really move on to design the wedding of their dreams with STYLE!!
Let’s face it, not everyone has great taste or may have great taste but are but are not sure how to bring all the details together to create your story. That’s why you hire great professionals that have the skills and know-how to take your thoughts and ideas and create a wedding that is really all about your style and personality. David does this and does it with such passion and compassion.
His newest book is out in stands now and it’s called “The Big White Book of Weddings” It’s very detailed and helpful when planning your wedding.
He also has a TV show on We Tv called My fair Wedding. It’s all about what he’s about, taking the ideas that brides have and executing them in a more style and savvy way! FABULOUS!!!
Woodwinds Bridal Show
I am the preferred florist for The Woodwinds located in Branford, Ct.
The Perfect Wedding Guide hosted their bi-annually bridal show and what a great turn out! I had a blast talking to brides and hearing all about their special day!
Below are some shots of my table and my creations, enjoy!

Candi’s Floral Creations featured in Martha Stewart
Candi’s Floral Creations and Ambiance {Chic} Wedding Designs are very excited to have a wedding be featured in Martha Stewart Weddings Magazine in this December issue. The issue is to be Martha’s 15th anniversary and get this…the very first same sex wedding featured!!
Andrew and Jeremy found me through an amazing wedding planner, Erica for Ambiance {Chic} Wedding Designs. They were rather fun and eccentric with what they envisioned for their decor.
One would call it Vintage – Americana. A.K.A: gathering anything old that was American at flea markets and tag sales and turn it into a theme for your guest tables. Well, wouldn’t ya know, it worked and turned out better than anyone ever expected!
They were so thrilled with what Erica and I had done with their ideas, that they went ahead and submitted their wedding to MSW and the rest is history….
I hope you can pick up a copy and enjoy the article!
The fabulous photos were taken by Jacklyn from JAGstudios, she did an awesome job of capturing every detail and make it come to life!
