Wedding Florist Spotlight: Atmospheres Floral and Decor

It’s Spotlight Day! Where we introduce you to incredible Orlando wedding vendors and the stories behind their companies who help Wedding Venue Map couples have their best wedding day. 

Hiring the right wedding vendors is so important on your wedding day. The vendors create the backdrop of every moment, every picture and every memory. It gives us great pleasure to introduce this week’s vendor spotlight, Debra Shea Robertson of Atmospheres Floral and Decor.

How long would you say you’ve been doing what you do today?

I started designing when I was a young teenager. My parents wanted to own their own business and they met a man in Orlando that had 2 flower shops. He took them under his wing and taught them the business and they started their own shop in 1975. The rest is history and I am 2nd generation and my daughter has a floral company north of Atlanta and is carrying on the family traditions!

How did your work evolve to get you to where you are today?

Our passion for excellence and attention to detail caught on pretty fast and we now design over 300 weddings each year

What motivates you to do this every day?

Every week is new and no 2 weddings are alike! The challenge of bringing someone’s vision to life and even helping them to create a vision that reflects their personalities never gets old! Every week is a fresh start, a fresh shipment of flowers!
It is like Christmas morning when we open each box of beautiful flowers! (this is the most exciting part of our week)

What fun-fact would people be surprised to learn about you?

I have 6 kids and 4 Grandkids and I love animals! The kids were raised on a small farm in Orlando and at one time we had over 50 animals.

What is the most unique service/product you offer?

We are a full-service floral design company. We can help design not only your flowers but your completed look including linens, chairs, chargers, lighting, monograms, signage, draping, backdrops, Arches, Mandaps, Chuppahs and more.
We are your one-stop-shop for all of your decor needs to bring your vision to life!

What makes your business stand out from others in your category?

We take great pride in helping our couples choose the decor that best fits not only their vision and personality but also their budget

Tell us about your ideal client.

Our Ideal client has signed a contract because they trust us with their vision. They allow us creative freedom to make changes that allow us to deliver the very best polished product. Perishable flowers are sometimes not as pretty as what we had hoped for and when we have the creative freedom to make adjustments that keep within the vision. not only is our client happy but our designers can be proud of their art as well.

Why do you think your business is successful?

We are successful because we care about every client. We have 1 chance to make it perfect and we take that very seriously. Our motto is ” Do every floral piece as if it was for your own family member”

What do you think are the biggest misconceptions that people have about your vendor category?

Misconception- Flowers are expensive. – Flowers in your wedding photos last forever, they make a huge impact. I have never had a client say they wished they had spent less on flowers but many who wish they could have ordered more.

Tell us 3 venues you enjoy working at and why.

Paradise Cove is named appropriately … when you step on to the property, all of the stress and business of the world seems to melt away in this relaxing tropical paradise! They are also the nicest and easiest people to work with!

Celebration Gardens is a gardener’s dream! The lush landscape is so pristine and colorful! It is this Florist’s favorite place to hold family get-togethers!

Bella Collina is where you have stepped into an Italian dream! Everywhere you turn is a gorgeous backdrop for dreamy photos!

Here is what some previous couples had to say…

“Absolutely the most gorgeous flowers and arrangements! They did the flowers for my daughter’s wedding and they were phenomenal!! 💐 They listened to what my daughter wanted and fulfilled her desires within our budget! Great people to work with! Highly recommend them!” – Kim P.

“Atmospheres made the most stunning floral arrangements for our May wedding at Paradise Cove! We had our first meeting with Mitzi and she took our wedding inspiration pictures into the exact vision we were looking for. Mitzi’s attention to detail is the best! The flower selection, colors, stands, and every little detail was perfect.

Debra was great at communicating with us, answering questions, accommodating a second meeting for us, and making sure all the details were handled properly. We loved working with their team!

When my husband and I first walked into our venue, we could not believe how amazing everything had turned out. From the ceremony, to cocktail hour, to the guest tables…everything looked flawless!

Atmospheres is highly recommended and we would coordinate future events with them!” – Cindy C

“My husband and I chose Atmospheres Floral and Décor to do our wedding flowers because they did a beautiful job at my brother’s wedding and they absolutely amazed us again with their final product. First off I love that we were able to walk out of the door after our first meeting with an estimate in our hands. We were able to customize our wedding flowers to what we envisioned!

Our ceremony and reception were transformed into a completely different place as our fairy tale wedding!! Debra and her team’s expertise definitely shined through and our flowers were perfect. They also found the best Picasso Calla Lilies for my bouquet and all the bridesmaid’s bouquets, they were absolutely stunning and made for the best pictures! My bouquet, the floral on the arch and the tall centerpieces were my favorite pieces of the day! I highly recommend using Atmospheres for your wedding flowers, you will be so happy you did!” – Allison & Garland C.
