Entertaining
In my roles as estate manager, I have always preferred to do all floral arrangements and centerpiece design myself. I source unique blooms from local markets where I can choose from an extensive variety of elements for these presentations, as well as creating pieces with flowers and foliage from various trusted and favorite florists around the city.
