We had the good fortune of connecting with Taylor & Orlando Brown and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Taylor & Orlando, why did you pursue a creative career?
My husband and I have always shared a passion for creativity and expressing your passion through artistic and innovative designs. I especially have always been fascinated with decor and designing since I was young. We both realized that our hearts were drawn to being able to work together in a environment that was innovative, creative, expressive, and most importantly valued. We want our work to be valued and our time to matter to our clients. We strive to bring them the best part of ourselves to showcase our dedication and fulfillment in what we love doing the most.

Alright, so for those in our community who might not be familiar with your business, can you tell us more?
Embrace Unique Designs is a family owned Floral Backdrop & PhotoBooth company, designed to elevate your event with unique designs and extra flare. We provide the perfect photobooths and backdrop for Weddings, Showers, Birthdays, Corporate Events and many more. We truly service any kind of event that our clients may request. We strive to cater to our clients top notch unique backdrops and fun entertainment for events that are as unique as they are. We are truly passionate about your experience and the memories it can bring.

We both became very passionate about Floral Backdrops and getting into the Photobooth industry because we saw such a high demand within the industry. When we got married in 2020 at our wedding we had 2 Rose Walls and a Photobooth. The biggest highlight from our wedding was from the Backdrop and the Photobooth it created memories for us and our guest that they can keep with them forever. Still to this day, we have all of the photos that were taken by our guest from our Photobooth and its so amazing to have these forever images. The great thing that sets us apart from other vendors is that we can provide both a Floral Backdrop and a PhotoBooth for your big day, versus having to rent from different vendors. At our wedding we had 2 different vendors which made it challenging when setting up. However, with our company we like to give our client the full package of being able to have both and have only 1 vendor. Another great quality about us is we love designing new concepts of Floral Arrangements that we do offer as Customized Items. For example we have had the opportunity to design a 9ft Floral Arch window display at a beautiful boutique in Peachtree City Georgia called Lizard Thickett. This store window display really gave us the edge to create something innovative and new and showcase our skills.

As many know starting a business is hard, there isn’t a step by step manual that helps you get to where you are, and where your trying to be. However, faith is the number one key to success. There were many times we felt stuck, or unsure of our decisions but, we learned that everything is a process and patience is a virtue. Everyday is a learning process when your in this industry. Every event is a new skill or learning curve you must adapt or learn from. I think the biggest takeaway is always evaluate your experience after every event you do. I believe it’s important to grade yourself but also get feedback from the client if you can. Remember that feedback is just another way to grow and another way to strive for the best.

Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
