Green Trick Dianthus Flowers

Fluffy and great.

Such a fun flower and the color really pops! All the flowers I ordered from FiftyFlowers were perfect (3 varieties of roses, amaryllis mocha, lots of fillers, anemones, trick dianthus, etc.). They were delivered promptly in the course of 2 days, depending on the flowers, and I received both e-mails and text messages letting me know they were on my doorstep. They opened beautifully for my daughters wedding. Dealing with FiftyFlowers was a 5 star experience all around.

These guys came a little squished but perked right up in water and became THE flower talked about at the wedding. They're so cool, and really hardy and make a great filler or the statement flower in a centerpiece or on a boutonniere. I never would've thought to do it but my bestie put one of these with a small sprig of tweedia and came up with a sweet and classy little boutonniere for my bridesman so he could get in on the flower action. They also have some real staying power, and were by far in the best shape the longest. We had so many leftovers that we took them to a friend's bed and breakfast afterwards and she decorated all over the place - they lasted a week before we left and were still going strong.

Ryan and I knew that we wanted to get married only a few weeks into dating. We had been best friends before falling for each other and once we knew that we shared those feelings, nothing could hold us back. When planning our wedding, our love was always the most important factor in the day. We tried to design a day that featured our love front and center - something that would be natural, beautiful, and almost magical. Without all of the frills and tradition that can sometimes be associated with weddings, we knew that our love would shine through. Our gorgeous venue offered a natural landscape with lots of greenery and our floral design was based on that. I chose burgundy carnations because I felt they would be nicely representative of our deep passion, and I thought blush lilies would be a whimsical complement. The rest of the greenery and filler we ordered gave a natural, rustic, and almost wild look to our floral design which I think couldn't be more beautiful. We created a bridal bouquet, three bridesmaid bouquets, a sweetheart table centerpiece bouquet, small centerpieces from eucalyptus green bunches, flower girl petals, florals for our cake, and used leftover flowers to place in a fountain in the reception space.

My husband and I were together for 8 years prior to his proposal. We had both pursued graduate schooling, moved across the country (and back again), and wanted to pursue various ventures prior to tying the knot. Our families joked that it may never come, but we knew what we wanted and didn't feel rushed into the legalities of it. This wedding was more than I hoped for. Neither of us had many stipulations...I did not want to be hot/sweaty on the day of my wedding and I didn't want to worry about rain. He wanted a black suit (no tux) and an open bar. Easy right? Thankfully my mother and sister are incredible DIY(ers) so we built our "wedding plan" to accommodate my Type A personality and off we went! Having graduate student loan debt also meant making choices that could accommodate a smaller budget. I started hunting for wholesale florists and stumbled upon Fifty Flowers. I loved all of the selections, reviews, and photos that other brides were posting. I probably created 10 different orders trying to decide what I wanted prior to speaking with Wendy who was able to put my concerns about ordering "enough" at ease. Shipping was fantastic, everything was packaged wonderfully, directions to ensure successful blooms were detailed appropriately. For someone, such as myself, without a green thumb, Fifty Flowers made it easy. We received so many compliments about our flowers and two weeks later they are still alive and thriving. Definitely worth spending the money. If you are a new bride, I highly, highly recommend Fifty Flowers.
