After several glowing reviews, its finally time for me to get back to a not so great review… If you’ve followed along you know I’ve had a hard time figuring out my flowers. I finally found my inspiration and sent the photos and explanations of what I was looking for 20 days before the wedding. [...]

I was told that yesterday, Thursday, was the absolute deadline to order our flowers for next weekend since they will come from Holland and Hawaii. We had placed the order on Wednesday but then there were questions because some of the flowers we were quoted are not available – pink spider mums. When asked if [...]

The flower order I hoped was crossed off the list just hopped back on. I’m told that spider mums are only available in yellow, white, green or purple. Seriously? No pink spider mums or spider gerberas? That just doesn’t seem right but I guess I can’t argue. Seems like someone should have mentioned that neither [...]

Well we placed the flower order! The table and canopy set-up test run we were hoping for yesterday didn’t happen. I can’t remember what came up. So, I still don’t know how long the tables are (we’ve been planning for 2 long tables of 20 each). So, we’re just going to ‘wing it’. We just [...]

Somehow I managed to get myself all worked up again yesterday. There is now pressure to make final decisions yet I don’t feel like I have all the information I need to make them so I start to panic. Luckily this is where my groom and I work well together. As I become this crumpled [...]

Here are some pictures of some flowers I’m told are readily available in Aruba (though not necessarily grown there). I received a list but had to look a lot of them up so I thought I’d make a collection here. Some were flowers I hadn’t heard of or knew by another name. I’ve been [...]

Well I’m told that there is a proposal on its way for the flowers and I’m getting a little anxious. I had a number in my mind that I thought we had budgeted for flowers, and was afraid the quote will come in 40-50% higher. Then we analyzed the budget again and it turns out [...]

Really, a decision about the bridal bouquet is small compared to the decision about the centerpieces. I’ve been looking and looking (and looking) for inspiration and not seeing anything that’s quite right. I have found a few photos that I love though, and have finally identified a little bit of what I do and don’t [...]

Something tells me I’m already asking for a lot of trouble on this one. Just a couple of weeks to go and I do not have flowers chosen. I may have mentioned that about 5-6 weeks ago I asked my planner for a list of available flowers – maybe their “Top 15″. I also asked [...]
