MEET YOUR DESIGNER
the founder
CHRISTINE JANDA EDELCUP
As our business enters its 10th year in the Wedding Planning, Floral and Event Design industry, I am proud to bring to you CJE Design.
For my entire 13+ years in this beloved industry I have always been equal parts floral designer, equal parts planner.
To see the pure happiness in our Client’s faces come wedding day due to our wedding flowers has been a gift.
Backed by my ridiculously talented team of designers (I can’t wait for you to meet) it is time for our flower business to bloom and stand tall and bright. I have always believed a story is told in chapters. It builds through its beginning, middle and end.
At times it is soft or suspenseful. Hilarious, fun and loud.
The key to any good story? It is inspired, never plagiarized and has perspective.
Let us tell your celebratory story. As designers who (actually!) listen, we promise; it will be your favorite.
LOVES: Wallpaper, Peony Season, Colored Tapered Candles and my annual antique trip

His ability to capture the essence of our clients personalities through thoughtful design, paired with his masterful floral design skills, means no two events are alike.

CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICER
All about
Storytelling. The power of negative space. Owning color. Layers upon layers of detail over. Seasonal Flowers. Sometimes less is more. Sometimes more is more.
NOT ABOUT
Cookie Cutter Anything. Designs that impede conversation. Creased, un-steamed linen. Lighting as an after thought. Missing opportunities to repurpose flowers.
