Meet our florist, John, from Flowers by Burton. John was one of the cutest, and nicest people to work with throughout our whole wedding planning process.
I put a lot of faith into him and his team with my flowers because unfortunately - I
didn't get to see my bouquets at all before they were delivered on my
wedding day. This made me very nervous, but that was the way they worked. I only got to see our centerpieces two days before the wedding and that was it.
The bridesmaids bouquets were just how I wanted them to be: Simple, not too big, and a mix of whites and greens. I loved how these looked against the green and black dresses:
Unfortunately, my bridal bouquet was one of two complaints I had with my flowers (I'll share the other complaint in another post) I had hoped for a similar bouquet to my bridesmaids, but larger and with small hints of purple here and there. Instead, this is what I received.

This wasn't really a part of my color scheme at all, and was not how I imagined it would look. Throughout the whole flower picking process, I wasn't too picky or resolute with what I wanted. I think as a result...I didn't really convey what I wanted as well as I should have. Obviously, this is a fine bouquet, and this is no way ruined any element of my wedding day. It's just not how I imagined it would be, and that sometimes bums me out.
We had alternating high and low centerpieces for our reception. I went pretty simple with these as well, since the room was already very ornate. My favorite element of the tall centerpieces were the pink ginger flowers.
The low centerpieces were mixes of purples, whites, and greens, much like my bouquet:
All in all, I was happy with all everything looked once it was all put together.
Did you know exactly what you wanted for your flower arrangements, or did you leave a lot of it up to the florist?
