“I have never been the type who understood flowers. I knew they were pretty, but I never truly knew what I loved and what I didn't. In comes Shelley with her beautiful and creative mind. I told her my theme was purple and grey with a little fairy tale, whimsical type feel to it. I knew I wanted my bouquet to be just a little bit bigger than my bridesmaids. It was so early in the planning phase that I wasn't fully sure exactly what structures would be available for the actual arrangement, but I gave her a picture of what the vision one (an arch with flowers on it) would look like.
During the planning phase, I ran into some hiccups when determining what frames/arches to use during the ceremony. After many, many emails with Shelley (which, thank you so much for your patience, as I know exactly how hard it is to work with someone who doesn't even know what they want), I finally settled on a gold arch with the flowers decorating the bottom and a drape in the middle, and I was in LOVE.
Shelley also helped so much in terms of the logistics, such as reusing bridesmaid bouquets for centerpieces at the reception, reusing the flower arch decor for the sweetheart table, adding greenery to the dessert and appetizer tables, to welcome tables, etc.
Overall, a wonderful person to work with, with lots of patience and a beautifully creative mind.”
