Chic Floral Designs
Bethesda, MD, United States
I am a Washington DC area floral designer with over 15 years of experience. I have a BFA in Weaving and Textile Design and often incorporate elements of those disciplines into my work. I work in a wide range of styles to suit the various needs of clients. I am a proud member of both the Chapel Designers and the Independent Floral Designers Association and am rated on Wedding Wire. As a student of Ikebana, I often apply those design forms to my own work. I work on my own and with a number of other designers and students to expand my artistic sensibilities. My arrangements have been featured in a large number of venues including The White House, the French Embassy Cultural Center, The National Botanic Garden, and Blair House. Contact me at 301.675.1728 or esea654@gmail.com. I am also on Facebook at Ellen Seagraves Chic Florals.
