Thirty Seconds With

Amy Epstein

I am: a 1993 graduate of Morris Hills High School in Rockaway, N.J., a 2009 graduate of Montclair State University with a degree in art education, and owner of Crimson and Clover Floral Designs.

My Favorite:
Flower: Orchid

Movie: “Pretty in Pink”

Restaurant: Ganno

A current trend in weddings: More non-floral accents such as candles, crystals and feathers. Right now there is also a lot of yellow.

My worst customer: One girl wanted a special bouquet and I took a picture of it and created it the way she wanted it. She wasn’t happy and made me remake it on sight. All her bridesmaids were behind her apologizing. Then she never paid for it.

I moved to Baltimore because: My sister moved here. I came down and fell in love with 33rd Street. I thought this is the prettiest street with the trees on it.

My New Year’s resolution: Budget my money better.
