| Designing a Dream Wedding in Rome: Flowers, Flexibility & a Whole Lot of Love | 25 Nov 2025 | 00:58:13 | |
Episode 309: In this special episode, Lori and Vonda welcome a very important guest—Ellie—to relive her unforgettable wedding in Rome and pull back the curtain on what it really takes to design an international destination wedding. From navigating time zones, laid-back Italian vendors, and cultural differences (“unfortunately…”), to securing flowers through industry connections, planning mechanics for towering broken arches, and transporting hundreds of stems through narrow Roman streets at 5:30 a.m.—they share the wins, pivots, and problem-solving behind the magic. You’ll hear how vision boards evolved (and had to be “locked”), how a DIY PVC arch frame became a showstopper, why respecting the architecture and history of a venue matters, and how a trusted design team (Tim, Julie, and Vonda) made it possible for the mother of the bride to actually be the mother of the bride on the big day. Whether you’re a florist dreaming of destination work or just love a good behind-the-scenes wedding story, this episode is full of heart, humor, and practical insight on designing something truly unforgettable.
