7 Ways to Not Hate Valentine Day - D Magazine
Sunday, February 10, 2019Dallas’ high-fashion luncheons, you’ve probably seen arrangements by Patricio Rivera of Twelve Thirty Four, a Honduran-born fashion designer turned florist extraordinaire. He spoke with us about the art of arranging, which he says is “all about emotion.”“I’d say focus on texture, focus on shape, and focus on colors. Like, I’ll take a picture of my vessel with my Pantone app and then that gives me a list of pairing colors to work from. Then I add my emotion to the design. But stay away from what’s expected. If you’re going to do a red rose, open it up to give it a different look. It’s called reflexing a rose. You let the roses sit for an hour outside water, then you pull the petals back one by one. For this arrangement, I used dahlias—my sister’s favorite flowers—and wheat. I’ve been asked, ‘Do you use weeds in your arrangemen... https://www.dmagazine.com/publications/d-magazine/2019/february/7-ways-to-not-hate-valentines-day/

Aces of Trades – Griffin’s Floral Design - The Newark Advocate
Sunday, February 10, 2019He wanted me.” “Being from Detroit,” he added, “I never would have imagined living in Ohio, let alone being a florist! I thought as a kid I would be a famous soccer player. I never really thought more than that. But being obedient moved me in the direction that was intended. It’s come with many challenges, but I have much confidence this is where I belong.” Griffin said a typical day means he’s “pulled in many different directions, like any small business owner.” But he added, “I wouldn’t have it any other way.” He and co-owner wife, Sarah, oversee four locations: Pataskala, Newark, New Albany, and a wedding studio in downtown Columbus. “Relationship building is my true passion, always has been,” Griffin said. “I love to talk, unfortunately sometimes to a fault. I love having the freedom to meet new people, businesses and organizations. I love technology and learning how to incorporate it into our business. And I love event, party and wedding work, from big and showy to small and simple.” “Russ and I,” Sarah added, “have been fortunate to be able to work where God has led us. We like the flexibility that ownership gives us. We also have the sole responsibility of whether we ‘make it or not.’ We both like that challenge.” “Becoming a florist has been very rewarding,” her husband agreed. “I wouldn’t change a thing, even after all these years.” “It’s funny,” he thought aloud, “that you often end up where you start.” For more Griffin’s Floral Design corporate store is located at 378 S.
