THE ARTIST & DESIGNER

Thanks for joining us here at the Foote Florals Flower Community!

My name is Rebecca Foote and I have been a designer in the floral industry for the past 18 years.

There is nothing I have a passion for more than designing flowers for weddings and events.

Working with couples to bring their wedding vision to life is so rewarding. 

My floral career in a nutshell:  

I started off sweeping floors in a flower shop at 17 while attending beauty school back in New Jersey.  I quickly decided that beauty school was not my forte, but I found myself captivated by the designs coming out of the floral shop.

After learning the basics of cleaning flowers, taking orders, and making fruit baskets, the day finally came when they needed my help for Mother's Day to design arrangements.  

I didn't shy away from the opportunity, but rather jumped leaps and bounds at it, waiting for my chance.

From that day forward there was no doubt I knew what I wanted to be.........a floral artist.

Since starting off at that small mom and pop shop, I moved up the floral ladder and designed at an upscale flower shop where I became head designer.

After 12 years there, I moved to New York and worked for a prestigious wedding and event company designing and setting up weddings throughout the Capital District. 

 19 years later and I am still as passionate about designing flowers as I was that Mother's Day. 

The rest is as they say.......history.

I am a true creative at heart
