I have been very bad and have not continued my blogging since I got back from Florida. The last few months have consisted of going to school and moving down to Salt Lake City. So let me fill you in a little. I finished another semester of school in the middle of July. I am excited to say that I only have 3 semesters left of school and then I am free to move on to the next adventure! I went home to Montana for about 4 days and decided that it was time to be getting a summer job. I heard about how amazing Modern Display was down in Salt Lake. So I packed up my things in my trusty car Hannibal and drove down to Salt Lake for an interview with Modern Display. (Long story short, Hannibal likes to eat little animals). Luckily enough the interview went amazing and I was hired on immediately. Praise the heavens! Since then my schedule has been non stop work and I love it! It's great to be back designing with flowers again.
My goals for the next few months will be to share with you all the designs that I make at work and share all the places we go around the Utah area. I have also decided to start a design journal filled with things that inspire me as a designer and new ideas I would like to do someday for a future event. So stay tuned for the next few months!
My first two weeks were filled with 70 hour weeks of trips back and forth to the Salt Palace and up in Park City. We were able to make some beautiful designs for these events, and the location in Park City was amazing. I will be adding pictures as soon as possible. So check back and I will have them up ASAP.
Fast forward a few more weeks and we have been doing weddings and a few more corporate events on the side. Since the store is also retail I have been making pieces for the Modern Display showroom. It is very different working with artificial flowers versus real ones. Making them look natural is my biggest challenge and I am trying hard to perfect it so it looks so real the customers will have to touch it! I will also be adding pictures of these as well.
I can't wait for the next few months as we get into setups for Christmas and other events. This will be my first Christmas season as a designer so I am hoping things go well!
