If I could give Herbivore a BILLION stars, I would. I probably cannot fully and accurately describe how absolutely amazing this team is in the 3500 character limit on the Knot, but I will try!
From the first phone call we had with Brent, we were pretty much in love :) We knew this team was IN IT and invested in making our wedding day the absolute dream that we were picturing. On our initial call, Brent was able to break down every flower type in every inspiration photo I had and explain to me what they were, asked me what I liked about certain arrangements, make suggestions and alterations when something didn't feel right, and just immediately was on the same page with the vision we had. I couldn't believe how many questions were being answered for me on our first call together, and how much time and patience Brent was willing to put in so that he could get everything right.
Brent's genuine excitement and enthusiasm during every single meeting was just a complete relief and SO wonderful, when the wedding planning process can get so stressful. I just remember thinking the whole time "Herbivore's got this. I don't need to worry."
We asked for another one of our meetings to be held at Herbivore's warehouse (since we're local) so that we could take a look at some of the votives and vases and everything in person....again the amount of patience and love and support and expertise during that meeting is just unmatched by anyone we had worked with. Brent just patiently gave his advice, waited it out and helped make decisions when my fiancé and I couldn't agree on something, we literally mocked up certain tablescapes together when we weren't sure of what to do. It was amazing. And I'm still so grateful for the amount of time Brent continued to devote to us to make sure we were getting everything we imagined. He went above and beyond to get us a specific décor item I really wanted. Every conversation was just a pleasure, and I felt like I was working with my own family - someone who wanted to make sure this wedding was PERFECTION and who didn't treat it like just another one out of 100 weddings.
Fast forward to the wedding day and Herbivore just knocked it out of the park and across the globe, haha.
Brent delivered the florals to my getting ready location and brought his usual, amazing, fun energy and it was just this wonderful relief. My family finally got to meet them that day, and they were just completely in love with the Herbivore team.
Everything at the wedding itself was just way better and more beautiful than what I could have even pictured. Our wedding was at the Hotel Peter and Paul, and all the arrangements (we went with a palette of reds, pinks, purples, jewel tones...) were just bigger and better and more beautiful than what I even expected, and I was already expecting them to look amazing!
From the aisle arrangements, to the vertical altar arrangements, the TREES, the cocktail hour pieces, greenery on the bars, the handrail florals....the flip to reception and all the gorgeous table centerpieces, the sweetheart table which looked like a magical garden and I hadn't even expected it to! Wow wow wow wow wow wow wow.
Just wow. We're going to be talking about this team for the rest of our lives, thanking them in whatever ways we can, but we thought we would at least start here. We have so many gorgeous photos from the day of, but I truly hope they know how much we appreciate the emotional support and love they provided.
