Our venue had so much character that we didn't want to detract from it with gratuitous (& expensive) arrangements. Julie worked with me over several months (practically being the wedding coordinator) to create a main theme that enhanced (& roma...nticized) the venue using greenery, candlelight, & lanterns, candlesticks, etc. that HEB also provides. We just wanted simple clusters along with personal touches that reflected my husband's & my personalities. She didn't try to push expensive ideas on us, and worked WITH us to provide what most of our guests described as "the most beautiful wedding I've attended."
She was a true professional in listening to us, meeting with our parents, then going so far as to create a sample cluster centerpiece so they could see our vision in a matter of minutes. We truly worked together swapping ideas (as I created much of the decor myself) and inspirations to create the wedding of my dreams. She was as enthusiastic as we were, and she set up both the flowers provided by HEB Blooms as well as the decor we brought on the wedding day while keeping everyone calm.
The one drawback to HEB Blooms is they have busy months that make communication slightly difficult. Luckily, we started planning with many months to spare so it didn't affecte us, and it's simply due to the many services the popular shop performs. However, when we needed a rush job or quick quote, Julie performed miracles with a surprise rush portrait bouquet. Her creativity and flexibility constantly amazed me. If you want to collaborate with a knowledgable and creative person to make your wedding vision a reality, Julie at HEB Blooms is your vendor.
