Flowers Annette Gomez

My name is Annette Gomez, I am a floral designer, collector, gardener, mom, wife and friend. To say I love this business is an understatement. The flower industry has been a part of my life for more than thirty years. In fact, were it not for this industry and the frequent trips to my favorite local grower, I would have not met my husband. Our family has grown over the years to include our three beautiful children and a menagerie of four-legged creatures. With at least a thousand events under our belt, we have grown our business in a slow organic fashion, one wedding or event at a time and we continue to challenge ourselves with each event to go above and beyond. I get my inspiration from the mother earth. I love dirt. If Ina Garten is the Barefoot Contessa, then I am the Barefoot Gardener. I love to feel the dirt under my feet and in my hands and I spend most of my spare time in the garden tending to my collection of treasures - much of which are used to bring a personal touch to the events we create. It is not unusual for a bride to find orange blossom in her bouquet, or for a client to discover a hidden cluster of herbs in their centerpiece. I find it hard not to bring things from the garden to add to our work. I love helping our clients discover their own "floral personality." When meeting with you, I promise to ask lots and lots of questions and to listen. Then I will translate what we discussed into real sights, smells and textures, adding to the style and feel of your event, without overpowering it. I look forward to helping you discover your personality in flowers, and translating it into a special day you will treasure forever.
