Enhance
Your Home With Silk Florals
A
background rich in floral design and great
customer service proved to be the essential
ingredients of success for Saundra Riccardelli,
president of Sweetgrass Designs, Inc. in Naples. Blooming
where she planted her wholesale/retail silk flower
showroom and office on Trade Center Way, Riccardelli
followed in the tradition of other transplanted
Northerners when she closed up her successful flower
shop of 20 years and elected to follow the sun. From her
starting point of Castleton on New York’s Hudson River,
she plotted her course to one of the hottest
homebuilding markets in the United States.
Riccardelli
put her experience in floral design to work, partnering with interior
designers and home builders, as well as homeowners, to create designs
for indoor and
outdoor living spaces.
Improvements
in molding techniques, painstaking attention to detail, special fabric
finishes, complex screen
printing techniques and fabrics that hold dyes and
applied textures are some of the reasons botanically correct
silk floral designs have become the preference of
interior designers looking to bring the indoors out and
the outdoors in to any living space.
Low
maintenance and lifelike representations that mimic Mother Nature’s
creations give silk floral designs the ability to evoke a beautiful garden
in any setting. The
latest trend in outdoor living areas is accessorizing
conversational settings and kitchen areas with lifelike plants and flowers.
Sweetgrass Designs creates silk
flower arrangements with such exotics as bromeliads
and orchids, as well as other tropical plants.
No
matter the style of the home or the purpose the silks will be used (they
provide a lovely transition from
one living space to the next,) Riccardelli’s design talents
and creativity rise to the occasion to create just the right
piece for just the right place. “Because of my
background, I can walk into a home, understand the style
and suggest where to place the florals, trees and
greenery,” says Riccardelli. “Even before the home is
built, I can look at the floorplan and color scheme and
create flower arrangements that work phenomenally
well to enhance the ambiance.”
Using
only top grade and high quality silks, Sweetgrass Designs creates floral
designs for the foyer, kitchen, living
room, family room, fireplace, master suite and guest
room, as well as the outdoor kitchen, lanai or patio. The
large variety of accessories,
containers and vessels combined
with life-like silk flowers enhances
and brings to life all the places we
call home.
