Les Fleurs

We have found our florist and its not too expensive. Much less than the designer woman, she was crazy overpriced. I am very excited about our flowers and happy that we will have some present but that it will still be simple.

The florist is George's Flowers in downtown Madison. While I have not used them before I am very familiar with the name and have a feeling they have been around for quite sometime. I am also quite pleased with our wedding consultant. She made some practice ideas for us and emailed the pictures. It looks like she is very talented and smart. She understood our theme and was able to translate it into some pieces for the wedding.

For the most part we are just sticking with wedding flowers. The bouquets and alter pieces. We wanted to keep the flowers in our budget and so centerpieces are out. While floral centerpieces look amazing they also come with a huge price tag. We want to divert funds elsewhere and so we will be designing more creative centerpieces. All surrounding the circular theme and of course you'll see some red.

This was one of the hardest parts for me. I love flowers but have always thought while beautiful are never worth their cost. You spend so much money on something that dies in a few days. At least goldfish are cheap so it doesn't matter if you go through 2 per day. I embraced my inner girly-ness with the help of Dan and decided the small amount of flowers we will have will be very nice in the photos. If I have my way the roses will be super cool looking. I just gotta check it out some more before I decide.
