"Vendor Revisit - Florist"
























We chose our florist six months ago, made the deposit, and I sort of forgot about her.  Maggie didn't.  Even though she had selected her color scheme, Maggie thought it would be a good idea to touch base and make sure her initial choices were still on track.

She booked an appointment.

"Let's take the bridesmaids' dress, and make sure the shade is right with our flower color," Maggie suggested.

"Huh?!?" I said.

Genius, it turns out.

Apparently, all shades of a hue are not the same.  We completely changed our rose color to better complement the bridesmaids' dresses.  The original color would not have worked.  Who knew?!?

Truly, I DO know, this is a little obsessive…but still...

We also learned a few pertinent facts.  If we chose peonies, the weather can play a big part in how the flower arrangements look.  If closed peonies are included in the bouquets, they may open prematurely is the weather is unseasonably hot.  This can affect the overall look of the bouquets/arrangements.  Food for thought…
