Whether you are planning a corporate or wedding event, flower arrangements are so versatile, and a total must have in creating those unforgettable entrance moments. Simple, elegant or over the top, whatever the style your going for, working with a florist is key to creating that perfect piece(s) for your event. We caught up with Sue Dodd from The Watering Can to discuss trends, inspiration and how being open to ideas is key when working with your floral designer.
LS) What sets the Watering Can experience apart from other florists?
SD) The Watering Can’s design team is known for our curated designs and our originality to exceed expectations. Whether you seek a simple bouquet or show stopping event installations, our experienced and dedicated designers will craft your dreams into reality creating breath taking results.
LS) What is currently trending right now in wedding and/or corporate events?
SD) Blush tones are remaining strong in the wedding and event industry, but with the additions of burgundy and accents of champagne. Mixed metals in terms of vessels are very popular. Ceremony arches in circular and hexagon shapes are making their debut.
SO) What inspires you to keep things new and fresh?
SD) We passionately believe that flowers bring joy and happiness to any event. Our designers have their masters in European design and we continue to send them around the world for inspiration. Every designer has a niche and passion and we nurture that passion to allow full creativity.
LS) What is one thing a client should know when working with a florist?
SD) Be open and allow the designers some creative freedom- it’s all in the details.
LS) What was your most memorable event?
SD) Our most memorable event was honouring a bride and groom in hospice. We were able to bring joy and beauty at such a difficult time. We received a last minute call from hospice and every team member stopped in their tracks to be a part of this day. This memory, though simple, is still very dear to our hearts.
LS) What are your favourite pieces to work with at an event?
SD) Anything that allows us to showcase our creativity! Whether it be arbour installations, bridal bouquets or gala arrangements, we love it all!
