Who We Are
Salvatore + Marie
The Creative Duo was born from the pairing of logic and artistry—Salvatore, a skilled engineer with an eye for structure and precision, and Marie, a passionate teacher with a love for design and creativity. Together, we’ve combined our strengths to style unforgettable events through carefully curated florals and props.
We believe every celebration deserves beautiful, unforgettable details. What started as a creative outlet soon became a shared passion for bringing joy to people’s milestones through bespoke artificial florals and thoughtful styling. Our mission is to make event planning unique, elegant, and inspiring.
At The Creative Duo, we value intentional design, premium quality, and warm, personalised service. We create realistic, arrangements that are exclusive to your event or space and are bespoke to you.
We’re a real couple, building a real dream—one event at a time.
Let’s bring your vision to life.

Our Testimonials
Marie held my hand through this special, blessed day. What she created for Dove is something I will never forget.
Domenica - Dove's Baptism
Marie, I honestly can’t thank you enough. From our very first conversation, you were so responsive, patient, and supportive. You never once made me feel like I was too much, even through all my indecisiveness. You worked with me so thoughtfully guiding my ideas, offering suggestions, and genuinely collaborating to bring my vision together in a way that felt calm and reassuring. On the day of my daughter’s christening, you completely exceeded my expectations. The floral design was beyond beautiful, but what meant just as much was the care you showed waiting to see me before you left and giving that personal 1:1 touch. You also added so many thoughtful details that you absolutely didn’t have to, simply because you wanted to, and it meant the world to me. Your talent, generosity, and genuine heart truly made our day even more special. Thank you from the bottom of my heart
Rosemary - Ariana's Baptism
Unreal! It was not normal. Thank you so much again. Everyone was in awe. The quality of your products, the execution, so easy to deal with. We really really appreciate it!!! Thank you again from the bottom of my heart for being so easy, accommodating and overall amazing! The passion is evident.
Sharon - Lia Rita's Baptism
Good Morning!!!!! Words cannot express how grateful I am for all the work you did. The Library and Dean and Nancy's exceeded my expectations!! Everything about the night was absolutely stunning! My friend has a video of me seeing the cake and floral arrangement and my reaction says it all - I was completely blown away... Again thank you so so so much!
