I would like to show my appreciation for Whole Blossoms. They provided the most incredible flowers for my wedding. We got married at an arboretum, which was held during the daytime. It was properly attended, meeting all the Covid restrictions.
...First, I would like to give a little background, we were scheduled to get married last May, but with the pandemic, we decided we would postpone until next May. As a bride, this was devastating! I had been planning my dream, white wedding, for many months. I had every detail down that I could think of when the slowing of the spread began that by May maybe we could keep our original wedding date. Well, as May approached, it was not looking good and many of our family members who lived out of state were expressing their concerns. My husband and I both have elderly grandparents and didn’t think it would be the idea to continue planning for this date. We finally made the change in April to postpone until next May. I never cried so much in my life and went through a period of deep withdrawal and discouragement. As we began September, my fiancé suggested a micro wedding and tried to convince me, saying it would even be less expensive, even spending more on flowers and decorations.
At first I rejected the idea, but as we were in the middle of October, wedding fever was so strong in me that I said yes. We decided that December 5
th
would be a good date and planned it quickly. We invited only a few friends and closest relatives and reserved a beautiful arboretum here in Dallas.
My husband was right, we were able to cut expenses left and right, allowing me to focus more on my wedding flowers and reception area, which was the place we spent most of our time.
Originally, we were going to just have white roses, but our budget suddenly had more money for flowers. I was going to order from a local florist, but my wedding planner suggested, since I had more money to spend on flowers, to really go all out, order wholesale and she could prepare all arrangements that would be an inspirational day to remember. She gave me a couple of suggestions, and Whole Blossoms was one of them. I went to their website and fell in love with the way everything was so organized and affordable. As I browsed their catalog, I quickly realized that I wanted more than just white roses; I wanted several varieties of white flowers.
I ordered Jeanne Moreau Pure Light Rose, Casa Blanca Double Ivory White Tulips, White Scabiosa, Star of Bethlehem, White Hypericum, White Eryngium Thistle, White Peonies, Italian Ruscus, White Dahlias, and Mount Everest White Rose. We spent about $1,300 and couldn’t wait till they came. Whole Blossoms was very helpful and always available through text messages, especially for all my questions. Each box came and an email was sent that had all the care and handling information for each variety I received.
For my big day, the flowers looked so beautiful and with the help of my wedding planner, who is also my friend, made my white wedding come to life.
I cried when I saw how beautiful everything looked, it was really a lovely experience.
I know many are out there wishing things would clear up faster with Covid, but you can’t allow it to destroy your dreams. A micro wedding is cheaper and safer. If you go that route, I urge you to go to Whole Blossoms and check out their flowers. They have so many flowers to choose from.
