Wedding Season
Wedding Love...
If I am anything to go by when it comes to weddings and flowers I know most of it as a florist / director however as a bride I know nothing! My husband and I surprised everyone including Mama Jo and got married at my sons christening in a wee church in Otaua. It was April 1st (April Fools) and the sweet priest who married us forgot it was a surprise and starting talking about the clocks going back and that we would have another hour of our honeymoon :-) hehe. Needless to say a wonderful day but there are a few things I did regret.
Presents.. GOT none... lol
No wedding dress..
And no bouquet.
I am sentimental and I hold onto everything special ( my kids will not be impressed one day!!)
Flowers are a tricky one... depending on when you get married, who needs what, budget, demands etc etc etc... But I promise you we can work around most things. So here are my top tips before you approach us:
- Budget
- What flowers are seasonal for the time of your wedding. (google eg. flowers available in Autumn New Zealand)
- Pintrest your ideas ( be reasonable) don't munt the booze budget!
- What is required. Bride, bridesmaid, MOH, Groom, Nana, Dog, budgie etc etc
Then book an appointment with your florist. Give us at least 2 months. We will need to order your flowers.
We do charge a $50.00 wedding consult and there are many reasons for this - but mainly it is time costed. If you do accept our quote this is funded ok.. Fair enough? Just a chick trying to make a buck or 2.
So with this said. Start thinking as wedding season will be soon approaching. And listen... do what you want to do. Don't spend a house deposit on a wedding, make sure its a day you remember that you enjoyed and you will remember forever. And I promise I will do my part to make this happen for you too.
Peace out me little flower children.. xxx
