1. Introduction: What's your story?
My name is Carla Bejan-Negru, but I won't be offended if you call me Elena, my company is named after my grandma who instilled in me a love of flowers, and work ethic that inspired me to venture into floral design. Because I'm one of those unicorns that's very creative and also structured, event design and planning perfectly blends the two into my calling. I work with my mom, and I love designing for clients that are excited for new, creative ideas, and more than anything I love curating details along the way that end up giving my clients an "aha" moment when it all comes together.
