“How to capture the INCREDIBLE impact Ale had on our wedding? I would have to start with our first meeting. My wife and I were stresssssing about wedding planning and starting to feel like the whole process was going to be painful. Enter: Alejandra. She came to our home and sat out on our deck with us to chat flowers. Her energy was kind, enthusiastic, and so, so grounded. It turned our whole wedding process around, and made us feel like anything was possible. She helped us go from random, disjointed floral dreams to a colorful and cohesive vision for a beautiful wedding day. My wife and I had different priorities, and even some clashing ideas about arrangements and particular blooms. Ale came up with suggestions that made both of us feel heard and delighted. In the end, we had a spectacular sunflower arrangement at our ceremony, which played off our hanging acrylic backdrop and redwood forest setting, a white ranunculus and kumquat bridal bouquet, a groom's boutonniere to match, and table arrangements that brought in whites, oranges, and fresh citrus to honor my family's history. Ale went out of her way to make a special boutonniere for our 7-year-old family friend who was a "flower boy," as well as to bring buckets of flowers for my mom and her cousins to arrange for bouquets inside the house. The bridal bouquet was my single favorite detail from the entire wedding.
I had heard a lot, during wedding planning, about flowers being easily disappointing, as sometimes the blooms you're hoping for aren't available. Our flowers went so beyond my expectations, or what I could have asked for. And Alejandra was an absolute angel to work with. We are so grateful, and would encourage anyone to work with Pollen Floral.
