Flowers

The two weddings that were held this past weekend had fresh flowers as their bouquets.
A word of wisdom to brides---never have faux flowers for your wedding bouquet. These flowers will be in your pictures forever, so you want the memories to be good ones.

There is something magical about the first moment that a bride sees her wedding bouquet on her special day. It can bring tears of joy or very unhappy moments. For the first wedding this weekend, when the bride saw her bouquet her initial reaction was one of stun---they were not the flowers that she ordered. The bouquet was nice enough and for another bride it would have been perfect, but for this bride, her bouquet was not perfect---just okay. I was sad for her.
Was it a case of wrong flowers ordered, miscommunication between florist and bride, or just a poor substitution for a quick fix?

Whatever the reason, brides please take a picture with you when you visit with the florist. She cannot read your mind. If you have a picture of something that you like, then that gives us a very clear picture of what you have in mind. We really do want to please you (Most florists really do!) so any help that you can give us is greatly appreciated.

The second bride's bouquet was perfect! Absolutely stunning and exactly what the bride had asked for. We worked for several weeks with the florist and chose every color and flower, so there were no unhappy surprises on this bride's big day---only tears of joy and a mound of beauty for her to carry down the aisle.
