I'm so disappointed, for our wedding we paid a pretty penny for:
Bridal Bouquet
Bridal Floral crown
Flower Girl floral crowns (these were beautiful)
Corsages
Boutonnières
I gave the florist inspiration pages on how I'd like all of the flowers to look, didn't follow through.
My flower crown did not match my bridal bouquet at all it consisted of: thistle, greens, wilted white anemone flowers, white spray roses- which looked like a floral crown for a winter wedding. I was happy with the flower crown being all white, but it shouldn't have been so winter-ey looking. My bouquet was bright with peonies, astrid flowers, and lots of color- which looked very summery (no thistle in the bouquet and possibly one or two white anemone flowers which looked like an afterthought). Also all of the anemone flowers wilted on my flower crown so I had to take them out right before the ceremony.
The boutonnières had one anemone flower, and one leaf wrapped behind. Definitely not worth the $15 especially because all of the anemones fully wilted by the end of the ceremony. Which is sad because these were for the Groom, my father, man of honor, and the best men. The boutonnières my family made for the rest of the groomsmen looked so much prettier. I wanted to pay for their boutonnières because I wanted them to look a little more special. (If the florist even contacted me once to say "hey I don't recommend using these flowers because they wilt easily"- I would have followed her advice.)
I paid $30 each- for 9 corsages. Almost all of them fell off my family's wrists, before the ceremony ended. They didn't even last until reception.
The floral crowns for the flower girls were perfect. They matched my bouquet of flowers, which I thought was nice.
Lastly, I requested nicely for no orchids or baby's breath and they stuck in 1 stem purple orchids in the side of my bouquet...
Overall, just because you pay good money doesn't mean you get what you pay for. You don't want to experience this on your wedding day...
