I can’t believe we
are 6 months out from our WEDDING!!!
I feel like just
yesterday we got engaged but we are coming up on our 1 year for that. {It is
crazy how fast time goes by}
We have been working
on finalizing:
Flowers –
Centerpieces – Bouquets – Boutonnieres – Mothers Flowers
We {I} because let’s
get real Ben could care less about the flowers. This has been one of the
hardest decisions yet.
(harder than picking my wedding dress)
I have been calling
around to florist in the area and either they are booked or they want some
crazy amount of $$$. I get the work that is put into these but they are pretty
much dead the next day and to be told prices higher than what we are paying for
our photographer (2) is crazy to me. I decided to think outside the box and go to
our local Wholefoods and see what they could do. I had read about other brides
doing this but I needed to see for my own eyes. Your local food store doing
wedding flowers? It just didn’t seem real to me but I talked to the florist for a long time and
she made me a smaller arrangement of what I was looking for (for FREE) and I
took it home to see what we thought of it. We {I} went back and forth with this
idea for over a month because I just couldn’t decide but this weekend I
finalized it all!!! We are going with Wholefoods… We will have a mix of flowers
and candles for a centerpieces. We are providing our own vases and getting a
discount for that. We ordered vases off Amazon and at our local Homegoods. The
price difference from a florist and a food store is crazy… We are paying less
than ¼ of the quote a florist gave us and I’m sure these food stores are one day going to take
over the wedding world due to the price difference. I will be writing a full
review after our wedding about how it went and a picture of everything but till
then we will all have to wait!!!
This is a big lift off my shoulders and now on
to the next items:
Grooms/ wedding party
Tux
FOOD & CAKE (our
tastings are booked for August)
And the list goes on….
Have a great
Wednesday!!!
