22 PRESTON BAILEY: Designer for the Ages

The year is 1980. The place is New York City. And the person is Preston Bailey, who at the time was just looking for a way to pay the bills and not get evicted from his apartment. What started as a small time floral business blossomed into what we know as Preston Bailey's immaculate and stunning work. For Preston, it's been a long journey to get to the top tier of wedding and event designing. He's had to overcome challenges and obstacles, both personally and professionally, including drug addiction and taking his business and clients more seriously. But at 68 years young, Preston's career is far from the home stretch, as he's still as passionate about pushing boundaries and discovering new designs as he's ever been. In this illuminating interview, Andy and Preston explore Preston's meandering path to present. The two discuss his most life changing moment back in 1990, how Preston truly wows guests with his decor and designs, and how he orchestrates his own work to be in perfect synchronicity with all the other moving parts of an event.
