Caitlin and Rodney meet Moda Botanica

Since Caitlin and Rodney were only home during the holidays, they had to schedule all of their vendor meetings during this time. Sofia Negron met up with Caitlin, Rodney, her sister, Allie and their planner, Nicole for a floral meeting with Moda Botanica. It was actually very interesting being a fly on the wall during their floral meeting. Caitlin and Rodney brought swatches and photos of their ideas. I liked watching Judith and Armas from Moda talk about and develop different ideas for their centerpieces and bouquets. I never realized all the different elements that go into designing a centerpiece. They went through books, lots of photos and pulled out different elements so they could visualize what they were talking about. I have to say Caitlin has great taste and I am really anxious to see who she chooses to do the floral design for the wedding.

Allie and Nicole laughing it up. I feel like personality counts just as much as talent. Getting along with your vendors is key to success.

Moda’s third partner, Bailey, was there making flowers for an event they had later. It’s kind of cool getting to see the inner workings of a floral design studio while having a meeting. Brings home that Moda is a floral design studio where you get to meet and work with the designers and not a salesman.
