Ok, so, going into this process, my now husband and I weren't passionate about flowers. In fact, my main preference was that the flowers not look too "weddingy," which for me meant not too over-the-top or precious...it just didn't feel like us. Our wedding planner sent us a few options, and I am SO glad we went with Amy. I am now a flower believer, because her design completely transformed our wedding, and helped fulfill the more airy, non-traditional, and creative vision I had for our special day. I told her that I didn't have a "theme" or anything like that, but that I was inspired by Frank Lloyd Wright's house, "Falling Water," especially the way the house interacts with and reflects the nature surrounding it. Our wedding was in a private garden residence, so I wanted the flowers to enhance and highlight the setting rather than overpower it. Amy came back with what honestly looked like modern art. She created this ceiling installation that looked like the waterfalls on the property, using pops of color mixed with local grasses and pottery bulbs as the "bubbles". The flower arrangements on the tables were so elegant - a mix of ikebana and lush summer blooms. You have no idea how many people have come up to us raving about the flowers and overall design. This woman is a true artist. In addition, she is a dream to work with, totally low key and patient, really listens, and didn't mind holding our hand a little. AND, she was able to dispose of all the those plants with almost zero waste, by recycling them in different ways! I can't speak more highly...hiring her was one of our absolute best decisions in this whole process. You won't regret it! NOTE: If you want more traditional flowers, I'm sure she is more than capable of that as well.
