Our meeting with our florist was really quite good; I feel like she totally "got me" as far as bouquets, boutonnieres, aisle flowers, and centerpieces (more on all that later). But with regards to ceremony/wine barrel flowers, I didn't have a good example, nor did she have one to show us. So I tried to explain "Not too big, not too flashy, compliments the natural site but isn't lost in the size." She emailed me some not great examples, so I set out to find some on my own.
It's hard! Way harder than I expected!! All attempts at googling some combination of "Wine barrel flowers arrangement ceremony winery" are a big fat fail. I also tried looking at all wineries I could think of, any wine country photographers blogs, project wedding/theknot/etc and got about three examples to send back to the florist. Am I really that difficult/unique? Or are ceremony flowers so unimportant and so exciting that no one takes pictures of them??
Not bad, a little... voluminous? and too green? Not quite right, but not terrible either.
Totally wrong color, but good look. Some height and some down draping green tendrils.
I like the texture, the coloring, the shape. Maybe too small for a barrel (you can adjust for that of course)? And we probably can't have a vase (for safety in the wind).I'll be honest, I got so frustrated looking for arrangements, Mr. SB took over and found these photos. I don't have credits for them. So don't steal them, and I apologize for not crediting them properly.
Ack. I'm tired of looking at barrel arrangements! I want to find the perfect one and just say "Hey, do this!" :) But for now, I'll send Sally the florist our ideas and see what she can do.
What aspects of wedding planning were unexpectedly difficult?
