Flower Power

When looking for a florist I didn't have a lot of specifications. Sure I'd love forget-me-nots and lupins, but I realize they don't quite work as a practical wedding flower. So aside from blue and purple colored flowers, there's nothing really specific I'm looking for.

To make things even more simple, I'm really just looking for a florist to do bouquets, and instead do the centerpieces as a diy (more on this later as it develops). But without specific flowers or elaborate requirements, I wasn't really picky on the actual florist.

But I did wind up talking to a few different florists, and all of them quoted me around the same price. Since there wasn't a huge difference between all the ones I considered I decided to go with the one was recommended to me by the boy's sister.

I did try to search for some images from our florist from a real wedding, and while I didn't have much luck I did get one hit.
