Meet the Buzz in our Design Room
Flowers From The Rainflorist has a buzz in the Design Room and everyone is asking who it is…well we’d like to introduce Albert Cortes to all of our customers today. Albert has joined our team of Floral Artisans as the lead Designer and he is already turning heads with his creative designs and interpretive work.
Albert started in the floral industry when he was seventeen as a driver for a Latin Flower Shop in Miami until the owner discovered that Albert's gift of design was needed in the store more than on the road. A few years later, he added to his design experience when offered an opportunity to assist a pastry chef at the Grand Café where he was able to combine flowers and cakes. What a great combination! After his apprenticeship with this famous Chef, Albert was able to take his “design on the road” and travelled extensively doing free-lancing across the country from New York to Boston, and Denver to San Francisco designing in upscale venues until he was discovered by a Floral Shop in the Castro District where he stayed for several years creating designs for parties, weddings, home décor and furniture staging.
We are fortunate that the sounds and spices of South Florida lured him back and Flowers From The Rainflorist is excited to have him join our family! Come in and introduce yourself to Albert and have him design your next party, wedding or special floral gift and share the excitement with all of us at Flower From The Rainflorist.
Meet Albert Cortes
and some of his work!
