Meet The Florist
Stacy Borelli
My early days of having a love for flowers dates back to my grandfather’s garden in NJ. Every Mother’s Day we set out to his perfectly edged garden beds to plant trays of grandma’s begonias for the season. There was something about the smell of earth, the process of taking a plain space and ‘painting’ it with flowers that was so transformative and cathartic for me…….I loved it.
My more recent years I spent 16+ of them as an award-winning and sought after wedding photography business owner of Swank Photo Studio in NC. Photography taught me to recognize what was already in place for me………my eye for balance, color, design and composition. I come to you now seasoned by the best floral design experience having worked for a competitive floral design firm in Raleigh, NC.
With that being said, my goal is to give the Greater Richmond, Virginia area the best client experience by listening, guiding and educating and executing on our collective and custom wedding vision. A collaboration, if you will!
My journey to becoming a Virginia wedding florist has been paved by quite a creative pathway of design and inspiration.
Long gone are the days of planting flowers in the garden for my grandparents where my true love of flowers was initially nurtured.
I said goodbye to a very long 17 years of a successful photography career one in which afforded me the luxury of traveling internationally to document client’s weddings, families and special occasions. Learned so much about myself, my approach to light, color and composition that is applicable to all genres of design, especially floral design. Coupled that with intensive studying of marketing and business and honing the craft of delivering the client experience. Marinated in floral design with a multi-event, luxury florist in Raleigh, NC and many freelance gigs and here I am!…….with my new baby, Ethos Floral Events. A floral design company here to serve, curate and deliver the best flowers, for your wedding, floral event or special occasion.
I’d love to hear from you!
