Our Floral Designer Rebecca Motus featured on ABC's The Bachelor on Valentine's Day
Love was on the air last night on ABC's 20th Anniversary Valentine's Day Special of The Bachelor; also covered by People Magazine.
The floral decor was designed and created by none other than our floral designer Rebecca Fernandez Motus.
We are really proud of Rebecca Motus' achievement: designing and creating all the florals for this primetime TV event!
Rebecca: "I met the producers of the show through a friend who recommended me when they were looking for a designer to create the floral decor for this 20th anniversary extravaganza. It was a wonderful opportunity to show my work to millions of people. The special was filmed at the St. Regis Monarch Beach and as everything in television, it took many, many hours to produce this 2-hour special. I spent five days on set, building the floral decor. And those 5 nights were pretty much sleepless. Many days we worked until midnight and I had to get to the Downtown Flower Market by 3AM to get fresh flowers. However, despite the long hours, it was a great experience. The production team was like a family and the production assistants were really happy to help me put it all together. In the end, it all turned out beautifully!"
Hundreds of hours went into this work of art!
The theme for the floral décor for this televised wedding was chosen to be loose, airy and very romantic.
Drawing inspiration from the venue’s colorful and robust landscape, Rebecca used pepper berry foliage as the foundation. This was seen throughout the venue. The Vestibule was draped from the top to the base with upside down pepper berry foliage winding down the columns that were masterfully decorated with white hydrangea, white and cream roses, blush roses, white and blush peonies and white Phalaenopsis orchids. The design was completed with hanging strung white and blush peony heads from the top and the columns as well.
The intricately fabricated bridal staircase was designed with hanging pepper berry foliage, seeded eucalyptus garlands, olive branches, and silver dollar eucalyptus. Lush floral arrangements were accented on the banister with strings of peony heads hung to encompass the staircase.
Rebecca was proud to showcase her signature flower wall design to highlight her work. For this event an 8ft by 10ft flower wall was constructed, inspired by the art of Piet Mondrian. This massive wall of floral art was filled with beds of white and blush colored hydrangea, roses, peonies, cymbidium orchids, china mums and carnations.
Rebecca laughs: "I am petite so I had suggested a more customary 5x6 wall. However, the director requested the very large wall due to the outdoor location. Once I saw the location I completely agreed. The wall needed to be large. And I asked for their biggest ladder and every tall person on the crew for help!"
All the florals for the bride and the bridal party, rehearsal dinner, bridal brunch, bridal suite and reception blended seamlessly with the decor of the ceremony.
To top it off, white and blush ranunculus — the bride’s favorite flowers — were imported from Italy to make her special day even better.
Thousands of stems of hydrangea, peonies, roses, orchids, other flowers and foliage where used to make this wedding a most memorable one. Not to mention hundreds upon hundreds of feet of garlands that accented the frames, the banisters and the other areas of the wedding venue. Rebecca and her helpers spent hundreds of hours designing the wedding decor and executing the design.
Rebecca: "I am happy to say that it all came together beautifully and I am grateful for the opportunity to show off my work. This exposure already led to three more celebrity events immediately following the television assignment."
Rebecca made People Magazine!
We are really glad to be working with Rebecca. Her energy and enthusiasm are legendary and her work is really outstanding. She brings 100% commitment to every assignment.
Wishing you a pleasant President's Day and a great week!
