He has had the privilege of designing flowers for different affluent events and organizations, such as the Opera Ball, and UNICEF, as well as several celebrities. Michael currently works full-time for Craftex as one of the lead designers, one of the buyers, and the department supervisor over floral and Christmas, and is always happy to assist clients in any and all of their floral and decor needs.

Cher Pesses has worked in the Floral and Interior Decor Industry now for 25 years. Cher has a great eye for color and texture and takes a “hands-on” approach to every project at hand. Cher has experience in every aspect of floral work ranging from international buying and product development, conceptual drawings and sketches, target buying, and engineering a project to building and construction as well as installation. Cher’s creativity ranges from creating festive tablescapes for any and all occasions, to intimate or full-scale wedding and event planning, to Commercial and residential Christmas installations. Cher is a designer, buyer, lead for ribbon, and supervisor with Craftex.
This is going to be an exciting evening that you don’t want to miss and we encourage anyone who has an interest in flowers and the art of designing to join us. We have members ranging from novice designers to floral shop owners and Texas Master Florists. All are welcome to join us to learn and socialize together!
