Encore Creative Welcomes Floral and Table Designer, Andrea Vote

I have recently joined the team at Encore Creative to head the new floral department and work with their talented event team. I have always been greatly focused on and influenced by art and design through many different mediums.

I was born in South Africa and raised in Japan and Greece.  Growing up in these countries, with such rich culture and history of art, significantly inspired me as an artist.  Later, I moved to Arizona where I attended Arizona State University and graduated with a Bachelors of Fine Art in Fibers.   In school my concentration was in textile design with a great focus on plants and nature.  Bringing these elements into my art really sparked my interest in floral design.

After graduation my career brought me to Los Angeles, where I was the Head Designer at one of the top floral design studios in the area. There I worked on numerous challenging events and accounts for a high end clientele consisting of actors, musicians, fashion designers, artists, hotels, and corporate business.  Some of these events include: custom home florals, weddings, magazine publication, corporate functions, fashion shows, network television production, talk shows, movie premieres, studio films, industry award ceremonies, and many other social events. Working with clients of this caliber really gave me the opportunity to grow as a floral designer and use my creativity to its fullest extent.
 

My style of design ranges greatly from traditional to sleek and contemporary, with great attention to detail, color, and artistic expression.  Specializing in extremely themed work, I am able to visually produce what our clients can only imagine through the medium of floral design.  Detail is one of the most critical aspects of design.  My attention to detail shows how much I love what I do, even with the smallest embellishments. This quality is extremely important for any event, but especially when working with individuals to create dream weddings and other ceremonial gatherings.  I am extremely sensitive to the relationship between a bride and groom and the floral design for their special day. Making sure that the final product is exactly what the client is envisioning from the bouquet to the adornments at the reception.

I am extremely excited to be working the team at Encore Creative and to be a part of the production that they are so well known for.
