I will try to post close-ups of the flowers later. The floris was amazing. I went in having no clue what I wanted other than colors. We walked away with beautiful centerpieces, aisle decor, alter pieces, bouquets... etc for under $1500. They were on time and even helped to set up the reception decor OTHER than their own items. You will NOT be impressed when you walk into the shop on Holland Road, but they will knock your socks off on the day of your event!

The pictures do NOT say enough about Andrea. She brought a second shooter to the event, and worked her tail off the entire time. She was everywhere from standing on chairs to get a perfect shot to laying on the ground for the perfect angle. Her shots were new, fun and kept everyone entertained. I wish I had more words to sing her praises. AHHHHMAZING ANDREA!

Great cake. Our guests loved it and it was beautifully decorated. The cake topper is from justcaketoppers.com DH and I are both military so we thought it was cute. I painted her shoes to match mine.
