4. Florrie & Eve, the new collaboration between Nadia Di Tullio and Penelope Mitchell…offers perpetual headpieces, halos and corsages.
Florrie & Eve co-Founder Nadia Di Tullio says…
“Many of my brides wear a fresh floral hair piece created just a few hours before the wedding ceremony, and while these provide the ultimate finishing touch to the brides attire there is no way of knowing what the piece will be like until it arrives that morning. The designs created at Florrie & Eve mean each bride can try her accessories ahead of the big day, ensuring that the hair and gown can be styled to her exact wishes. Our perpetual pieces benefit from the flexibility of floristry techniques that allow the pieces to be manipulated to fit and their look ensured on the big day and beyond.”
5. A few famous moments…

6. A favorite quote this week:
“If you can hear it, then by definition it's been done before. My best albums have been my writing what I wanted to hear. I feel that again.” - John Mayer
I bet your best designs come when you design what you want to see rather than what you’ve already seen!
