Wedding Vendors: How to Find a Florist

Ahh flowers. Now that the tougher vendors are booked, it’s time to focus on the beautiful, personal details. A few tips for finding a wedding florist:
1. Gather inspiration pictures! Pinterest is a great way to do this.
2. Find 2-3 florists to meet with. Search online vendor sites like Yelp, Weddingbee, Style Me Pretty, and WeddingWire. And of course, ask your friends and family! Look at examples of the florist’s work to see if you like their aesthetic.
3. Bring those photos to the meeting, along with fabric swatches, a picture of your dress, and pictures of the venue. Also, it’s important to bring your budget! Unlike some other vendors who show you their pricing and make adjustments from there, florists can be flexible by adjusting the blooms they choose, the number of arrangements, the size, etc. So give them a guideline to use as a jump off point!
4. Book with a florist whom you trust to execute your vision. You want someone who takes your inspiration and creates something that blows you away, not someone who copies a Pinterest pic exactly.
5. Make sure to stop and smell those roses on the day!

In the midst of planning a whole wedding it can be easy to overlook details like the cost of stamps. Between the save the date, invitation, response card, thank you notes, and who knows what else, all that postage can put a serious dent in your stationery budget. Not to mention the fact that many invitations weigh more than 1 oz and require additional stamps. I came across this handy postage guide and wanted to share!

A blessed thing it is for any man or woman to have a friend, one human soul whom we can trust utterly, who knows the best and worst of us, and who loves us in spite of all our faults.

A Wink (Simple Tip)
Did you know that Martha Stewart Weddings has online tools to help you stay organized? My favorite part is that you can keep track of your guest list and RSVPs and in turn assign those people to tables in the virtual seating chart. Take a look here.

This is so cute! On each anniversary the couple takes a picture of them holding the previous year’s picture. Happy Friday!
