Florist

Yes I am looking for a florist! Since mine is an outdoor wedding, I would like to have those tall flowers along the aisle

 

Something like the photos below

At the same time, I want to tie a flowers at the chairs at the end of each row. Apparently they are called posies. Which is something like the photos below.

I have asked 2-3 florists and for the tall flowers minimum is $150 per flower (I would probably need 4) so that is like $600. For the posies minimum is $20-$80 depending on flowers. Lets say its at $30 and i have 20 chairs, that'll be another $600. Which is another $1200!!

However, my fiance says, if were gonna put the the tall flowers, dont put the posies cos the arch and the flowers would just block it. If we want the posies then dont put the tall flowers. Cos it'll be too congested if we include everything.

Our conversation went something like this:
Me: So you don't want both tall flowers and posies? Is it the price?

Him: The price is ok, were talking real flowers. But I'm worried its too much. Too over decorated. Got heart shape arch, got tall flower, got posies, got petals on floor, tiffany chair the pink so bright. Think about it.

Me: *thinking deeply* Ya you make sense. So if I want the posies don't get the tall flowers, if I get the tall flowers don't want the posies? 

Him: Their same price anyways

Me: So which one you don't want?

Him: You decide, your call

Me: Its your wedding too ok! Plus your paying not me so decide

Him: You decide. Cos I decide then if you don't like you'll sure change it also. 

Me: Ok I take the tall flowers

Him: Huh? U sure?

Me: Ok I take the posies

Him: OK!

Gahhh guys! He wanted the posies just say it! 

So I guess goodbye tall flowers, stick to posies. Besides he does make sense too. Oh wells.

Keep hunting for florists!!! 

Anyone out there got good recommendation? I have been spending a bomb, gotta tighten already. 

Alright! Till next post

Wedding Invitation

Yes I have found my the person doing my invitation cards!

Before I go on, the theme of the wedding is "Pink and white with lots of flowers". So the invitation card has to show the theme of the wedding. 

I saw one of my client's invitation card and really loved it especially the material! So I asked for the contact and after contacting her, within a week she gave me a first draft! So quick!

Besides I have lots of 'demands'. I want the card to open in the middle like a window and has a ribbon. It has to be pink and full of flowers. I want to put our photo inside and have maps and directions at the back.

She took down the details and even quoted me her price. Very reasonable! And a week later, ta-dah! Here's my first draft of my invitation card!! 

PS: The photo used is not the actual photo that will be used for the wedding invitation. This is just to show how it would look like. My photo shoot photo would only be done end of May in Bali and then I'll pass the photo to her and then she can do the final design. 

Here goes!

The Cyan Line indicates the folding

(above) This is the front of the card. It opens in the middle. There's a ribbon that's tied.

(above) This is the back of the card with the map and directions on how to get to the place

And INSIDE!! Pretty!

Her website is The Paperteria. She'll be doing my personalised fan too so the design of the fan and the invitation card is exactly the same!

Looking forward when the whole design is done!
