    I went to 3 flower places, a wholesaler, 2 sisters that do it as a second job... and Turpins Florist.  I thought Turpins would be the most espensive, not at all.  Jay was great to work with, didn't charge me for a consultation and even did a mock up of the centerpiece (which is huge) at no cost before I decided to use him!  And he came in under budget.  My wedding isn't until Feb so Alot can happen between now and then - however it's worth a look to see what you think.  Also he is letting me use his glass vases.  Other places wanted me to BUY them.  Turpins is in Norfolk.  Happy looking...

    In Hampton Roads there are so many amazing cake bakers to go with. I chose Jennifer Shockley of Shockleys Sweet Shoppe: http://shockleyssweetshoppe.blogspot.com/ Jennifer is amazing and so fun to work with. Her cakes are so tasty and light and she's an amazing decorator! I'm doing my own flowers and getting them from Norfolk Wholesale Florist. I'm super crafty and found that professionally designed floral arrangements were out of my budget. Good luck with your wedding planning!!
