I am a Tucson bride, so I communicated with Butterfly Petals solely through email. This was a bit nerve wracking. All my other vendors were from Tucson, so we met face to face multiple times. Nonetheless, I wasn't incredibly picky, and I truste...d Amanda's vision and talent. I had been stalking Butterfly Petals for months, after all!
I used Butterfly Petals for my bridal bouquet, three bridesmaids bouquets, two corsages for the mothers, five boutineers for the dads and groomsmen, and one groom's boutineer. I had a talented friend do our centerpieces.
I sent Butterfly Petals my Pinterest board, as well as let her know our budget, venue, colors, and overall feel. I love succulents, and I told her I wanted that to be the main focus. Amanda drew up a estimate, which included all of the overall cost and the flowers she would use. She stuck to the budget and was happy to work within it. I researched the suggested flowers, and was not keen on the look of at least one. Amanda was great with suggesting alternatives that would still work well. I also asked about using cotton, and she sent me photos of similar bouquets with cotton. I absolutely loved it, so even though it cost a tiny bit more, I asked for that to be included as well.
After that I made the deposit and simply trusted it would look good the day of the wedding. And boy, did it! I was thrilled with the finished products. Everything was even better than I expected, honestly. Butterfly Petals even included a small toss bouquet, which I had forgotten to request in the first place.
Overall, I would definitely use Butterfly Petals if I had to do over. Communication was always smooth and with quick responses. And of course, the finished product is really beautiful.
