We found Compass Rose Floral because it was recommended by one of the venues we toured. We knew that flowers weren’t that important to us, so we didn’t want to spend a lot of money on them. Compass Rose specializes in faux flowers. We chose th...em because they fell within our budget and offered everything that we wanted. We scheduled a meeting to come in and have a trial. We went over our theme of the wedding, the vision, and the colors. Luckily for me I knew I wanted a few different tones of blues and purples. They let me wander around the shop and find the flowers that I thought were beautiful and the colors I was envisioning. They valued my opinion, and created a few different mock ups to put together my vision into reality. I was pleasantly surprised at what they can do and how artistic the flowers can be. They put together a beautiful bouquet for me. They also put together a wrist corsage for my bridesmaids as well as boutonnieres for the groomsmen. We had them create “mini centerpieces” for us, and it even came with our choice of vase. We had mason jars with river rocks on the bottom as our vases. They took pictures and took notes of everything from our preferences and details to the types of flowers used. There is a lot of flexibility to do whatever you are envisioning. They have had great communication with us over email and always had quick response times. You have the option to rent the flowers from them, or purchase them if you like. They do offer a delivery option, but we chose to pick it up ourselves and return it ourselves. Their online portal/system is very organized and well laid out. Remember however since you are renting and have to return the items, you have to make a note on the day of to go around and gather the bridesmaids items and groomsmen items from the people at the end of the night to be able to return them. When we picked up the flowers before the big day, they had packaged everything into boxes and crates, and everything looked great! The bridal bouquet could have been a tad larger, but still was beautiful. The corsages and boutonnieres looked better in person than they did in the trial! One small thing was that one of the corsages came unglued at the very end of the night, but other than that, everything made for excellent pictures with lots of color. I got many compliments on my bouquet. The only way someone would know that these flowers aren’t real is if they came real close up and touched it, but it doesn’t take away from the beauty. I don’t think a single guest really even noticed or cared that the flowers weren’t real because our centerpieces were so beautiful anyway. The only negative thing we kind of realized closer to the wedding is that you can make changes to your order until 60 days out. Because of this, when our guest count was finalized for the amount of tables/centerpieces we needed, it was too late to change the order and therefore we paid for a few extra centerpieces that we didn’t actually need. However, we made due and used them to decorate our ceremony site and cocktail tables as extras. Overall we had a positive experience with Compass Rose Floral. I would recommend them to brides who don’t want to spend a fortune on flowers, and still want have high quality faux flowers for pictures.
