Whenever Darenda Darnell-Garbarz, AIFD, sees a bridal consultation on her calendar, she makes sure she has some proteas.
“Not many clients are familiar with these flowers, but as soon as they see — and touch — them, they’re mesmerized,” said the owner of Designs by Darenda in Homestead, Florida. “They help achieve that ‘distinctive and unexpected look’ everyone requests.”
Darnell-Garbarz also noted that the flowers can endure the heat of outdoor, Florida weddings. Check out three unforgettable protea designs from Darnell-Garbarz that your team can create in as little as 10 minutes in this month’s Floral Management.
