Meeting with Indigo Floral

(Sorry there have not been any blogs recently...my computer is broken, so I have to rely on school computers...poop)

Today, Brent and I visited Indigo Floral to talk prices and floral arrangements for Dimnent and GHGC. The lady there was nice, and she helped bring all of our ideas to life. She helped me picture what the bouquets and floral arrangements would look like by actually bringing out flowers from the cooler and placing them together. It was nice to be able to get a basic idea of what they would look like. It was a lot of fun and we put together some really neat ideas. Here are our thoughts so far...

Bridal Bouquet - completely white! White Lillies or Orchids, and white stock, and white stephanotis (with pearls in the center). White peacock or ostrich feather coming out.

Pearled Stephanotis

White Lilies

White Stock

White Ostrich Feather

Calla Lilies and Stock (not sure if I would do this one though)

Bridesmaids - White, Bright Pink, and Black! Maybe some white lillies and purple cezanne roses. Possible little black feathers throughout the bouquet.

White lilies

Black feathers

Dimnent - Have two pedestals by the unity candal, with large white vases and white curly willow. Then ferns by the stairway. Curly willow and tule on every 4th pew.

curly willow (would be white though)

I tried to paint in what the stage would look like...kind of poorly done :)

GHGC - Take the large white vases of curly willow and put at ends of head table. Then collect all the pew curly willow, and put into another large white vase to be displayed somewhere in GHGC. Or Brent thought of a cool idea - to somehow have the curly willow surround the four pillars around the dance floor. Bridesmaids would put their bouquets into vases that would sit on the head table. No new flowers would be needed, and we could do it ourselves...unless we want flowers on the cakes. :)

Those were just some ideas we came up with the lady. She priced everything to come out to be a little under $1100 (including the flower choices above). When I met with the guy at Flowers Etc. a couple weeks ago, he approximated everything to be about $1000 (this was the price without specific flowers). So they have similar prices...what do you think mom???
