Bouquets by Birgitta

I found Bouquets by Birgitta through Legendary Affair in Manhattan beach. She is a bouquet preserver -In the process of wedding planning i found that they are hard to find!

Her process was very simple. Have someone reliable take your bouquet from the wedding and drop it off early the next day. You get it back in a month or so preserved.

I only got the flowers preserved, nothing extra.. it cost around $180. I thought she was very expensive to have anything else done - if you put flowers in a frame or shadow box the price jumped to about $500 and up.

When I met with her in person to go over what I wanted, we went over everything, when I was dropping flowers off, that i simply wanted only preservation, etc. - I thought she wrote it all down. But then about a week before the wedding she called me and left a messaging asking what we were doing and asked me to come in again to discuss. I was a bit frustrated, apparently she didn't write anything down on the invoice. Another small pet peeve of mine with her was that she insisted that all my records, invoices, bills have my husbands last name on them. I asked her if she could please use my maiden name as I was not certain I was going to change my name and she refused to. Not a major issue, but just something I didn't appreciate.

Over all it was a simple process if you want your bouquet preserved.
