Event designer David DiCicco is back to discuss authenticity in design and how florals and layered details create an emotional, immersive “stage” for clients, especially at weddings. They compare styling versus interiors, noting the challenge of making permanent decisions in one’s own home, and David shares that his creativity comes from his mother and interests in theater, interior design, and working with people, calling himself “a little bit of a therapist” in emotionally charged wedding work. On marketing, he credits word-of-mouth, referrals from planners and venues, and repeat clients over many years. The conversation turns to relationship structures, divorce, and open relationships, emphasizing that trust, communication, evolving “rules,” and reduced judgment are key, and David shares his own experiences and that he’s been seeing someone long-distance since March.
