We were very happy with our florist, Cindy and she took all of the guess work out of the design of the event. She met with my husband and I and asked us about our style. She wasn't initially interested in what kind of arrangements we wanted but she tried to get a feel for the overall tone of the day. We talked about dresses, colors, the invitations, and then flowers. Cindy and I communicated primarily through email and I sent her photographs of flowers that I liked (just flowers, not arrangements). From this she totally nailed our tastes and did a fantastic job. I was concerned that it would be hard to match arrangements in the room where the reception was because the room was decorated in rich reds and browns. She had no problem at all and incorporated soft colors perfectly. I especially loved the arrangements on the head table: 3 different small arrangements. She also did a great job with the bouquets and flowers for the groomsmen. My husband and the groomsmen wore green orchids with hypericum berries. My bouquet was stunning with peach roses, green hydrangeas, hypericum berries, and green hanging amaranth. She also incorporated some weeds and wildflowers like queen Anne's lace and shepherd's purse which really lent a natural yet romantic feel. My mother-in-law was really concerned because at her daughter's wedding the florist accidentally forgot on of the boutonnieres. She mentioned this to Cindy and without being asking Cindy made an extra. Cindy was also good at navigating between differences in taste between my mother-in-law and myself without being pushy or taking sides. She was completely professional and patient and everyone ended up being very pleased with her work.
