This is the review I have been wanting to write since my wedding day because I am the type of girl that buys flowers at the super market, just because. I love seeing the flowers on the road when I am on road trips and needless to say, I always ...notice the flowers at weddings.
So when I started looking for flower vendors, I researched EVERYTHING! I went to so many appointments, and asked for recommendations. After several months of research, I landed at the offices of "The Senter Piece" I had an appointment with Donna, and went over the same things I have been saying over and over again, except...When I was telling her my ideas, she suggested a few things differently. She also took me to her warehouse, where they were working on a few arrangements for that weekend...She also understood my view on "textured but still round" and "HEB orchids" She then remembered everything my friend Susy asked for her wedding and that the Senter Piece did for her wedding, and I could see she really did remember Susy and evertything she wanted! I WAS SOLD! It was right at our expected cost for flowers and I just had a good feeling about her, because of her honesty and kindness.
Flash forward to our wedding...the getting ready was a bit chaotic and the arrival to the church (where the flowers were) was a little late, but as soon as I entered the bridal room and saw my bouquet, I was in love. My bouquet was PERFECT. The colors, the flowers, WOW! Exactly what I wanted! I kept it for days!!! It lasted for at least a week after the wedding! My favorite flower, Orchid, was the highlight, but also had other contrasting types of flowers on it, and the piece was prominent, but elegant. The bridesmaids' bouquets were a bit smaller than mine, but still so special! And all at my budget! I think about it today, a few months afterwards and I relive the happiness I felt when seeing my girls with the flowers. They are my main girls, and they deserved to have the best in their hands...
And then I saw my groom. He had the most beautiful orchid, my favorite flower, on his chest and he looked so handsome and proud! It was so cool to see, my favorite flower, on my favorite person as well as on my bouquet! Of course, I did not let go of my bouquet for anythinggggg as long as I did not have to! I loved it so much and seeing it in pictures is the best, they were colorful, fresh and beautiful! Then I got to my venue, which was stunning (Agave Estates) and all we did was petals surrounding candle hurricanes, and it looked perfect! The Senter Piece understood the importance of elegance, simplicity but color, that I had as a bride.
I wanted to end my review by informing the bride or groom that is reading this that my bouquet came home with me, and this bouquet was placed in a vase for another week before having to get it preserved!
Donna, THANK YOU so much! For making my biggest day be filled by my favorite flowers, you were a dream to work with, and the very best flower company in Houston! I hope you are around for my friends, family or my own big event.
