Florist meeting/check!

So FI and I met with the florist last week - Christine at Fleur de Lis.  She was super nice and stayed with us for 2 hours (!!) to talk over what we wanted.  I think she really understood our vision and had great ideas that we wouldn't have thought of, like a big sunflower topiary for the bar for our reception!  Sunflowers are my absolute favorite flower but she thought they'd be too big for my bouquet, so she suggested this instead and I love it - still get my sunflowers this way!  She sent the whole proposal literally a few days later too, which I thought was really fast.  She also recommended someone to get the chuppah from for the ceremony (Fleur de Lis doesn't make/rent chuppahs so we were a little worried about where we'd find one since we didn't want to DIY - I could just see the whole thing collapsing during the ceremony if we built it, LOL) so we got in touch with him and he was also very prompt in getting back to us.  So that's another check off the list - his deposit went in the mail today...I just hope things continue going smoothly!

    I'm using Fleur de Lis also!  She's been really great about going back and forth with me a million times, especially since we have a comparatively small floral order.  Congrats on having that checked off!

    MereFM99, I have no idea where I've been - I've looked at your bio a couple times and never noticed you were using Fleur de Lis too!  Glad to hear some more positive feedback on Christine...can't wait to see your flowers!  :)

    Lol- I can't wait to see my flowers either :-)  I'll definitely post pictures after the wedding.  I would imagine that b/c I'm so indecisive, I am not the easiest bride to deal with, but so far her customer service has been absolutely fantastic!  I can't tell you how many times I've changed a color or flower here and there.  You'll have no problems working with her!

    So glad you loved Christine - we used her for our June wedding and our flowers were GORGEOUS! She knew exactly what I wanted and brought it to life for a good price, including a hair comb for my mom who didn't want an "old lady coursage" lol! she is so fabulous and isn't mentioned on this board enough!

    I used Fleur de Lis for my wedding last weekend and everything looked beautiful!  Christine and the rest of her crew were fantastic to work with.  My ceremony site was gorgeous!  Friends have posted pictures on Facebook if you want to see more pictures.  Rhonda_k777 at yahoo dot com.

    Thanks so much everyone!  Glad to hear she's so highly recommended.  Rhonda - I have an unnatural hatred of Facebook and refuse to join so I won't be able to see your flowers, but thank you very much for the offer.  BTW, I went to a wedding at your venue in February and it was lovely - it's a great space!
