My dear friend Alicia Schwede of Colorado recently published a fabulous book about bouquets, called Bella Bouquets. Alicia is also a co editor of the Flirty Fleurs blog and the owner of Bella Fiori Design. Alicia is one of the many amazing people I talk with on a regular basis. We met on Twitter of all places. Two years ago we were able to meet face to face at an event for wedding industry designers in San Francisco. Last year we met again at the Chapel Designers Event in NYC. Alica’s book and blog are a must for brides looking for inspiration, and for designers who are trying to grow their skills, as well as their businesses.

Here are two of the pages from the book, the last bouquet is one of my all time favorites. I hope you will join me in following Alicia, and certainly pick up a copy of the book.  Alicia will also be with us this year in NYC for the next Chapel Designers group. If you are interested in spending time with designers like Alicia and myself make sure you get your tickets to the next Chapel Designers event in March of 2012. Tickets are available on the right hand side bar of this blog.

Thank you Alicia for all that you do for this industry, and thank you for supporting me and my business by sharing your knowledge and your ear!! LOVE YOU!!!!!!
