My name is Darleene Powells and I’m the author of this here blog. Welcome!
By day, I’m a mild-mannered journalist. A while ago, I thought it would be kind of fun to put stuff from my weekend job online. My occasional weekend job? I was a wedding decorator, or more precisely, a draper for my mom, who is a florist.
How did I learn how to drape? Mostly from pictures and from my own whims. Generally, I drape tables and floral props like columns and balustrades. I can and have also draped stages and walls. I often incorporated lighting to literally spotlight these designs, usually what I call backdrops.
