Hi ladies!
As it turns out I'm very happy I went and met with the florist anyway. She had great ideas, and I get everything I love for less than $1,000! As soon as I got home I wrote down exactly what she said, what was in each bouquet and individual prices. Now I'm gonna shop around and see who can give me what I want for the best price :)
On another note, I'm meeting with my first decorator today! This should be fun, because I don't really know what I want yet. Lucky for me, this decorator has a program to "virtually" decor rooms, so I can have a visual of what she proposes! I also think I'll have her do my centerpieces, because the florist doesn't set them up... she just brings them. The decorator, however, could set them up as they're setting the room!
If you look at the pictures, I want that centerpiece (but with white flowers) and that type of table cloth :) That's as far as I've gotten... lol
I'll let you know how it goes!
and meeting with the decor lady was my favorite thing to do!!! you will have so much fun and its a good thing she's visual!!!
let us know how it goes! good luck =)
