We had the good fortune of connecting with Erika Caiaffa and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Erika, why did you decide to pursue a creative path?

I pursued an artistic career to have the ability to express my creative vision, have self-expression and create an individual identity through my designs.

Each bride is unique in their taste and style. Therefore, I get to express their uniqueness in a different selection of flowers, colors, and textures.

The process remains the same but it’s always with the freedom to express my individual design for each bride.

This keeps my career exciting, as not one centerpiece is ever the same.

Can you open up a bit about your work and career? We’re big fans and we’d love for our community to learn more about your work.

I am mostly proud that we get to be part of a very special occasion in many people’s lives.

What people don’t see is the endless hours of the non-glamours, labor of love that transforms that very special event.

Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
First, I’d take them to a day out on a boat to see the ocean, swim in the sea and feel the breeze. We’d also catch the sunset down in Key largo while eating some fresh caught fish. It’s all about relaxing and enjoying the beauties of this world.

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?

Having a strong floral community group has been great support. We help each other out with recipes, contract guidelines, venue restrictions and guidance on unrecognize situations. This community of florist
helps me find solutions to successfully execute events that require stepping outside the box.

I want to thank that floral community which has not only saved me a lot of time but they have also provided a lot of knowledge and love.

This floral community has not only saved me a lot of time, but they have also provide a lot of knowledge and love.
