Listen to DK Designs' Podcast Interview about Clay Flowers with Ralph Mucci on TheWeddingPlanningAudiocast.com!
I got an delightful email today (Sunday of all days - Ralph, you shouldn't be working!) from Ralph Mucci, executive producer and show host of The Wedding Planning Audiocast letting me know that my podcast interview was now available on the website!

I honestly haven't had a chance to hear more than a minute into the interview, but so far it sounds great! The great thing too is that you can see some images of my work in the picture section to the left of the Pickle Player. This way, brides can see just what DK Designs clay floral design is all about. I hope you enjoy the interview and share it with your friends and family! If you don't have time to listen to it via the website, you can download it via iTunes and listen to it whenever you want! It cracks me up still that I can say I'm on iTunes!
I hope that when brides listen to this podcast it will interest them enough to check out what clay floral design is all about and consider it as a possibility for their wedding day.

It was TRULY an amazing experience and just like being on Martha Stewart, I would do a podcast interview in a heartbeat. Thank you to Ralph Mucci and his wonderful team at The Wedding Planning Audiocast for their encouragement, support and most of all, making me sound good! :) I cannot say enough good things about Ralph's organization and what they do. It's simply amazing and brings the wedding industry to a WHOLE new level! The wonders of technology are simply amazing!

My Interview with Ralph Mucci of the Wedding Planning Audiocast

This evening was my podcast interview with Ralph Mucci of The Wedding Planning Audiocast. I had the normal butterflies I normally do (just because I so hate public speaking), but surprisingly it went rather well. I just kept reminding myself that it was like having a personal conversation with a colleague or friend and I was telling them about what I do and why I love doing it. I thought I would be having to do lots of retakes, but I spoke from the heart and where my passion for what I do comes from and it went great. I hope the listeners will be intrigued and check out my site after listening to the audiocast.

Ralph is such a great person, very personable and very knowledgeable. I hope that I get a chance to work with him again in the future. He joked around during commercial break and it was kind of funny because it was like listening to my husband giving me crap for not listening to him (both Ralph and my husband are from NJ). The East Coast sense of humor... gotta love it.

Anyway, you'll have to wait a few weeks to listen to the actual podcast. I know, it's like being told I have a surprise for you and telling you everything about it and you're waiting in anticipation. Ralph was telling me they tape 6 shows a day so that's a lot of professionals to interview, edit and post on the website. It just goes to show that their wedding podcast resource website is nothing but short of stellar. It's well thought out and well put together. I told him I would actually be downloading some of the podcasts to listen to on my journey to NJ for our little family vacation.

Thank you again Ralph and The Wedding Planning Audiocast for having me on your show! I'm truly appreciative for the opportunity to share my love of clay flowers with your listeners around the world. Keep doing what you're doing!

Today is the day.... My Interview with TheWeddingPlanningAudiocast.com!
Well, the day has finally come... My interview with Ralph Mucci of The Wedding Planning Audiocast... Am I nervous??? Yes, a little, but I think it's more out of anticipation and excitement. Heck, I've done live TV with Martha Stewart so a taped interview where I can do retakes should be a piece of cake, right??? Hmmm... We shall see. As my aunt, who helps me in my home studio told me, speak from the heart and all will be well. She knows how passionate I am about my company and what I do so I just have to trust that the little butterflies don't pop up and get me all tongue-tied!

I'm so very honored that Ralph Mucci of http://www.theweddingplanningaudiocast.com/ invited me to be a guest on their podcast show. If you haven't checked out the site, whether you are a wedding professional or a bride, what are you waiting for???? This website has the top leading wedding professionals in the industry giving you helpful advice and tips to plan your perfect, stressfree wedding! Colin Cowie, David Tutera, Mindy Weiss, Sylvia Weinstock... you name them, Ralph has had them on the show.

They have a great new logo for their site, which if you haven't guessed already, Stacie Tamaki of http://www.theflirtyguide.com/ and http://www.girlgoesgeek.com/ (she has so many more companies she runs, but I digress) designed it for them. Way cute, right? :) It goes right along with the new "Meet the Wedding Bloggers" section of their website. All the mainstream wedding bloggers (What Junebug Loves, Style Me Pretty, The Flirty Guide, Bridal Bar, etc).

At any rate, I don't know when the show will be posted, but you can bet you'll be the first to know! I'm really excited about this interview and the broad reach of brides who potentially will hear my interview and see photos of my work and be intrigued enough to contact me! The wonderful thing is I'll be Ralph's first wedding floral expert (to date they don't have any floral design experts, but I'm sure that the floral section will be blooming with the hottest floral designers the wedidng industry has to offer! Thank goodness I'm the first one so they have nowhere to go but up! LOL... Stay tuned for the link to the show when it goes live. You will also be able to download it via iTunes and listen to it whenever you want...

Check Out The Wedding Planning Audiocast Website!!

So this morning I got a very wonderful email from Ralph Mucci telling me that they are going to put my clay florals on their home page in the Special Features section of http://www.theweddingplanningaudiocast.com/. They also discussed with their PR and marketing teams that it didn't make sense for me to be under the Wedding Planning Special Features section, but rather create a new section not yet tapped into called "Florals". Makes sense, right? Florals are a big part of a wedding ceremony and reception so it only makes sense to have a category focused on florals and have the top floral designers on the audiocasts. I get to be the fortunate first interviewee/expert for that section! We are scheduled to tape in a couple of weeks and it should be available online and on iTunes shortly thereafter. I'll keep you posted.

Thank you Ralph and thank you Stacie. If it wasn't for Stacie (http://www.theflirtyguide.com/), Ralph would have never heard of me and I really sincerely appreciate that. She could have talked about so many other wonderful vendors and their products/services, but she mentioned me! Even Ralph said that in the over 20 years of wedding industry experience he's NEVER seen anything like it!

Here's a picture of their home page with my peony arrangement highlighted in the red box!
