One of our favorite vendors on EnGayged Weddings is Candi, from
Candi’s Floral creations.
Candi was the floral designer who
worked very closely with Andrew andJeremy to create the floral
decorations and table settings. Jamrock- You played a big role in
putting this whole wedding together.
What can you tell me about the process of making this all come together? Candi- Oh wow, I have to put my mind
back to that time.
When I first spoke to Andrew andJeremy
I
didn’t know what they were talking about, I didn’t get it.
All I
knew is they wanted a sort of
vintage Americana look.
After about a 2 hour conversation I got
it.
Andrew andJeremy
found all these wonderful items and I organized them first and
decided what should go
with what and the great thing was they gave me creative freedom and
I loved the
challenge.
Jamrock- What are some of your
favorite tables? Candi -I loved the “Beauty Table” where I made the base look like
real hair.
I also liked the
“Music
Table” I used Crespia Balls to look like Disco mirror balls. Jamrock- I asked Andrew and
Jeremy what
their favorite tables were and Andrew said the Car table and Jeremy said the food table which I guess was formally
called the “Bakers
Table”.
Tell
me about those. Candi - The Car table was great it had
like 25 different cars and trucks with a dump truck in the center where I took dirt and put it in the back of the truck with
the flower arrangements
and the sprinkled dirt on the table to make it look more realistic.
The Bakers Table was
a
lot of fun to do because Andrew and
Jeremy found the Easy Bake Oven,
but I added a
bunch of little surprises, like the cherry pies and fruits.
I also
added a rainbow colored
birthday candle # 8 for the table number.
I also liked the Money
Table where we had a
price tag that read $6.13 which was the date of the wedding, but by
far the most creative
table was the Photography table.
That is where I had to be the most
creative.
I used
wheat
grass for the base and we used Polaroid cameras slide projector
slides, film
negatives and all those things when it came together it almost came
alive. Jamrock- How was it working with
Andrew and
Jeremy? Candi- We were a really good fit.
I
let them be creative and just let them go.
Most vendors don’t do
that.
They had a vision for their wedding and I wanted to make it
even better for
them.
They were awesome to work with.
I enjoyed every moment of it. Jamrock- What was your reaction when
you found out you were going to be featured in Martha Stewart Weddings? Candi- Excited.
Very, very, excited.
I don’t know how else to put it.
I did think people were
pulling my leg.
It felt great to be recognized. Jamrock- Candi, I thank you for your
time and keep up the amazing work. Candi- Thank you.
