LA NOSTRA STORIA
Several years ago, a friendship was forged by Debra Kraft and Alessandra Petillo in a most unusual way. They “met” over social media and have dreamed ever since of collaborating one day. If you were to ask either one of them they would say, “we are soul sisters.”
Debra has traveled extensively through Italy and the Amalfi Coast and Alessandra lives and works there, so naturally, the dream of Amalfi Coast Moments was an organic fit to design weddings, celebrations and events in one of the most exclusive, coveted and beloved destinations in the world.

Lead Floral Designer
Debra’s approach to floral design is rooted in her fine arts background. Trained as a painter, she views the creation of floral designs similar to that of painting on a canvas. The only difference is the medium is botanicals and florals, rather than paint. Debra says, “Nature has taught me to arrange flowers, and painting has taught me to see.”
Debra is a multi-award winning floral designer who has exhibited at several Museums and has had some of her arrangements published. She has grown up in the East Coast of the United States and is a true New England girl who loves the Four Seasons. She also has a love for travel and in particular the Amalfi Coast region of Italy. Her creativity, talent and attention to detail have allowed her to create strong relationships in the event industry all over the world. When she is not working with clients to plan their fabulous celebrations, Debra can be found in her garden, cooking or entertaining.
"What a find Debra is. You will love the arrangement and the care she gives you as a consumer!"
