Prairie Crocus Design

I love flowers, and there are always fresh flowers in our apartment. I had made the decision early on that even though Hearthwood would be taking care of the flowers for the ceremony, I wanted to bring my own bouquet for the reception. I wanted my bouquet to be beautiful, and not something generic. I knew of Prairie Crocus because they had been listed in the Pioneer Press for being an organic florist that works with seasonal and local flowers. My bouquet was beautiful, and it was really easy bringing it up on Friday night.

We had picked centerpieces through the hotel, which were these flute vases that would hold floating candles, but I wanted to have a bouquet for my bridesmaids and myself, and I also wanted Alex and the best man to have boutonnières. I went with Prairies Crocus because I felt very comfortable talking with Jen, who works there, about what I wanted my flowers to look like, and she was really great about coming up with suggestions of what would work, and what flowers would be in season. Part of the creation included ribbons, which were beautiful, and the flowers were gorgeous as well. It was fun because she also explained how I should hold the flowers so they look the best in the pictures. I liked it also that Alex had a mini version of my bouquet as a boutonniere, and that the simple bouquets of the bridesmaids matched the boutonnières of the best man.
