Chelsea Greenhouse

I was determined to do my own flowers for my wedding. I went to bulk wholesalers, I had my bridesmaids lined up, I had online guides printed out about do-your-own bouquets. About three weeks before my wedding I began feeling overwhelmed when I thought of the requirements of doing my own flowers and I panicked. I ran to a locally owned greenhouse and asked if it was too late. It helped that I was getting married on a Friday in late April (not a busy time for her). She said she could definitely make it in time!

I was very flexible about the types of flowers in my bouquets. I had a few lilies and roses, then let the florist "do her thing." Because she was able to use her own creative talents, (I just wanted a hint of pink!) they came out smelling great, they were in-season (i.e. cheaper!), and BEAUTIFUL. I am so glad I gave my florist creative room because I'm pretty sure she enjoyed herself and I got a few extra flowers I didn't pay for in her excitement!
