I consider myself to be a practical gal, and knew that throughout the wedding planning process, certain things would fall outside of our budget range. The one thing I was set on however, was the fact that I NEEDED real flowers and greenery at my wedding and reception. The thought of using fake flowers felt like I was getting cheated a little. I know they last longer...but I wanted to be able to smell the flowers and eucalyptus throughout the night, cementing it in my memories. I wanted a mix of large blooms mixed into a variety of eucalyptus. I bought a box of 125 white roses from BJ's, the Extra Large pack of Eucalyptus mix, and 20 bunches of the silver dollar eucalyptus for good measure. I was so skeptical about how big or little the bunches would be when they arrived, because they are based on weight. Friend, let me tell you, IT WILL BE ENOUGH! I am happy to say that it was plenty for my wedding party, the ceremony and the reception decoration. The night before the wedding we had an all hands on deck bouquet bash, and we created all of the bouquets, wreaths, and boutonnieres . Wendy at Fiftyflowers was my designated CSR, and she was wonderful. She texted me immediately once I placed my order, and again when my flowers were delivered to make sure that everything was arrived in good condition! I was very impressed, and definitely recommend Fiftyflowers to all DIY savvy brides-to-be!
