First time florist coming through!!

So I was asked to do the flowers for my friend Danielle's wedding. I also did her invitations (see previous post for those). I have never in my life done flower arrangements, nor has my mom, but she agreed to help me. I learned a few things this the process. 1.) Never do flowers for a wedding that you are IN. 2.) Don't use hydrangeas in boutonniere's or corsages. 3.) Don't use hydrangeas in general. Especially in September. They die way too quick. 4.) If hydrangeas are really wanted, make sure you have spares, because they will come in handy when some die.

Over all, I actually enjoyed doing the flowers. I love working with a new material to create things. I felt really bad because I had to leave my mom to wing things so I could get dressed for pictures (refer back to #1). She did an AMAZING job improvising 2 new bouquets on the spot (see #3 & 4). I know I would do flowers again for a wedding, but whether or not mom would assist me.... well, that is another story. :)

Jessica is getting married!

I had the pleasure of designing the wedding invitations for Jessica Parks, a friend of mine since we were 5. Her and her fiance, Jeff, are getting married in October in FL, but are not having a beach themed wedding. This is what we came up with! I think it turned out amazing and look forward to doing her programs as well!
