AW: Floral Trial was tonight!

First off Karla who is my DOC asked to come along to my trial to make sure it will be set up correctly at day of. I cannot tell you how impressed I was that she did that. She went so above and beyond esp since she is only a Day of.
And since Dalsimer is SO far from where she lives, I was really impressed. She was taking notes, asked questions I didnt think to ask and I feel 100% comfortable knowing that she is my 2nd set of eyes that day. Karla really has been worth every cent. She is amazing.

The flowers were great. At first it was bit smaller than I expected, but David quickly adjusted it and added more flowers and quince branches to make it perfect. We changed the candles to taller ones and after that it was PERFECTION! When I left, I had this giant grin on my face. We were debating btwn ivory or peegee hydrangeas which are pink and green and the peegee just blew me away in person. WOW!

David was so amazingly accommodating and assured me that wedding day will be flawless. We added a few flowers to the cake and he threw in petals and candles to the cake table (woot woot!).

We even went over a possible rain back up that doesn't involve me killing myself and I feel that even if it rains (and while I will be insanely devastated) that he will be able to make it nice.

He showed me samples of my arch from an event that had something similar and I was thrilled. It was better than what I had in my head.

I will upload pics as soon as I find my camera cable lol!

    Sorry I am so late with these, I tore my house up and down looking for my camera cord
    The pics dont really look like the cp's... its such a shame too b/c in person they were really lovely. It looks really short and lopsided in the pics but in person they werent. There are 2 colors of hydrangeas white and peegee - we werent sure what color we wanted so David did one side white, the other peegee so that's why there are 2 types. The branches will also have about 4 more branches of quince in there to make it fuller. I took these pics before he added more.
    And we were experimenting with candle holders as you can see there are like 4 types on the table. We went with the larger circular ones. My mom liked the short cubes - your thoughts? I didnt snap more after b/c I was staring and smiling at them like a tool.
    Oh and the brown linens are what we are doing... not pink. You cant see the petals on the table with the pink cloth down but you get the general idea.
