This pretty girl calls herself an event designer creating a real celebration for people. Decorator Yulia Shakirova, who founded her own company, works to delight customers with non-standard solutions.
In the article, we will consider the work of a charming brunette and try to figure out why our celebrities are invited to arrange various parties for her.
Love of floristry
One of the most sought-after florists in Moscow, winner of awards for the best wedding decor was born in 1983 in Moscow. Her parents, who had nothing to do with design and art, give her daughter to a drawing club, where teachers notice the huge potential of a talented girl. Julia is engaged in painting, but at heart she understands that oil paints are not her format.
At the age of 17, she enters the only floristry school in Moscow called Nicole. Decorator Yulia Shakirova, who received a prestigious and interesting profession, takes a job in a company that organizes holidays. She recalls that it was a wonderful experience: a young girl took mastery lessons from Ellie Lin and Valley Cletta - the world's leading florists.
Decor studio, which has become popular in Russia and abroad
In 2004, Julia founded the company Shakirova Julia, which won the respect of customers. She made everything possible out of flowers, and she wanted to expand her field of activity by taking up decor. The editor of the famous celebrity magazine, which liked unusual projects, recommended Julia to popular artists. The florist laughs, saying that word of mouth works better than any advertisement. So the stars of Russian show business began to turn to her, wishing to arrange a memorable holiday.
All the fantastic ideas of Shakirova come true, delivering a sea of joy to customers. The decorator, who knows how to organize people and direct them in the right direction, has counted more than 1, 500 events, and no one is going to stop there.
Now her clients are famous people not only in our country, but also abroad. About 50 people are subordinate to Shakirova, but sometimes she invites hired workers. The girl, who often happens in Europe and takes master classes from well-known professionals in her field, coordinates all the processes herself and also develops a new direction - rental of furniture and various accessories for decorating parties.
Original projects
Working in the field of event decor, Yulia Shakirova, whose biography is saturated with successful projects, captures the desires of customers, offering the most unusual materials for their execution and working with space. Julia uses everything that is possible: fruits, vegetables, plant roots, greens, paper rolls, rusty pipes, sweets. The original details evoke real admiration for the guests of the bright and colorful events, since in real life no one has seen anything like it.
Wedding Master
Fulfilling any whim, Julia Shakirova (decorator) loves to engage in wedding projects. She always takes into account the image of the bride, the possibilities of the room where the celebration will take place, and other moments. The owner of the studio of the same name carefully thinks out every detail in the design: from the design of an invitation to an event to large-scale art objects. Before starting work, she talks with a client to understand his mood and interests.
Then Julia introduces the customer with his vision of the wedding, making a presentation with sketches. These are real mood pictures that give an idea of the atmosphere of the future event, its color scheme and style. Shakirova knows that a wedding held under the brand of her company will certainly become prestigious. Any celebration from the decor studio is considered a high-class event.
Of course, Julia’s work is very expensive, because the colorful scenery erected for several hours changes the space beyond recognition, and each project involves both florists and electricians, installers and technicians. Many parts are manufactured abroad, which also increases the cost of the estimate for the client.
Zoning space
The florist decorator is sure to divide the space into several zones that immerse guests in the atmosphere of the upcoming event, allow you to take thematic pictures and convey the main idea of the celebration. Especially Julia singles out a hall in which elements are purchased directly for each event, and a candy bar, which is an excellent place for photo shoots. This is a key object, which is a table with dishes (fruits and sweets), decorated in the style of the event. It fully conveys the nature of customers and the general mood of private parties.
Although lately candy bars have faded into the background, and customers are asking to set up buffet or wine tables for tastings.
The secret to her success
The popular decorator Yulia Shakirova, known for her unique style, often uses inexpensive material, beating it in different designs. She harmoniously combines complex things with simple ones, selects curious art objects that look very impressive at low cost, and clients admit that reality has exceeded all their expectations. There are times when expensive accessories disappoint, because in reality they turn out to be impractical and are not worth the money they ask for them.
Difficulties arise from a technical point of view, since it is very important that nothing falls at prestigious events, and the scenery does not interfere with the guests. It is important that it is not only beautiful, but also comfortable. Before the start of any celebration, obligatory rehearsals are held, at which the client sees all the details and understands why the work of the decor studio is so expensive.
Dream wedding
When Julia is asked about which project is most remembered, she confidently answers that the wedding is decorated in the style of Dolce & Gabbana. The customer, who saw at a closed show a dress that was strewn with powdery colors, wanted the same for herself and asked the company to fulfill her dream. Based on the story of a luxurious outfit, Julia developed a whole concept for the design of a festive event.
A beautiful boudoir was created, decorated with fresh flowers of wine shades. The spacious hall, which turned into an overgrown garden, amazed the guests, and the unusual chandelier on the table became a real highlight of the bright event. Huge portraits of young people hung on specially aged red brick walls, and the buffet table, which was a gift to happy newlyweds from the decor studio, was a surprise for everyone. On a black tablecloth stood gilded candelabra, as well as floral arrangements by Yulia Shakirova made of fruits and flowers.
It is curious that S. Gabbana himself noted in his account the individual style of the wedding celebration and emphasized the feminine image of the bride.
