For a late October wedding, Ingela created a spectacular flower decoration, reflecting the deep reds, oranges, and rusts of autumn. I was struck by the unusual artistic and inventive work in her designs. The bridal bouquet was absolutely stunning and included orchids, leonida roses, berries, rose-shaped pine cones, and hanging amaranthus. At the reception, each of the table centerpieces, displayed in a rustic urn, was completely different. Clusters of beautiful flowers such as roses, celosiae, and leucadendrons were grouped together and incorporated with seasonal fruits, some cut in half, to create a dramatic look. I watched her decorate the cake with a breathtaking design of roses, draping grapes, pomegranate halves, and fall leaves. When it turned out that another centerpiece was needed, Ingela created it on the spot with materials and flowers she had with her.
She loves a special occasion to show her creativity; to indulge her clients with the colors, shapes, and textures of her arrangements; and to find the joyful surprise in their eyes when they see the transformed venue. If you want anything out of the ordinary, Ingela is right for you. Her references consider her very knowledgeable, detail-oriented, and easy to work with. " Her creations are so beautiful, just amazing. When you see my pictures, you can practically smell the flowers," one of the brides told me. Ingela feels that each event is unique, and a wedding should reflect a couples personal style. To complete the look, she can provide you with specialty linens, a stunning curly willow arch, custom chuppahs, urns, or anything necessary to make the event distinct and memorable.
Ingela came to the US from Sweden. After receiving a certificate in Retail Floristry at San Francisco City College, she gained valuable experience working for leading design studios in San Francisco. In order to fully express her artistry and give personal attention to each client, she started her own business in 1997.
A number of pictures of Ingela's work was currently published in The bridal
bouquet book from Schiffer publishing.
