At the D'Andrea Banquets Bridal Show, we got a chance to meet with Mary's Flowers of McHenry. Since we were totally clueless with the flowers, it was nice to set up a free consultation with Mary to see what our needs were and what our expenses would be.
To be honest, I am not a fan of roses. Yes, they are pretty; however, I think they are overdone at weddings. I wanted something different, but had NO clue where to start. After all, I honestly know not a thing about flowers.
Mary walked us through the process of what types of flowers come in what colors, and what types of bouquets we could build (lots of texture, little texture, etc). We figured out what flowers would look best and the various necessary items for our ceremony (bouquets, corsages, boutineers, etc)
With having four bridesmaids, four groomsmen, us, two sets of parents, two grandfathers and three grandmothers, and one aunt and uncle, our total was only $640. This was with a 10% off deal for going to the Bridal Show.
I'm looking forward to the finished product as the flowers will be dropped off at St. Thomas on the wedding day.
Also, I would love to show my appreciation towards my Aunt Sherri and Uncle Mike, who has given us a generous gift that covers a significant part of the cost of our flowers! We are extremely blessed by their generosity and hope they love their flowers we're giving them as a thank you!
