Ivory White Hydrangea Flower

Our Arrangements included the following...

1 6ft wide ceremony arch
4 large ceremony pieces (two at the base of the arch and two at the start of the aisle)
1 Bridal bouquet
1 Groom boutonniere
6 large table centerpieces
6 small table centerpieces

Getting married during COVID drastically changed some things during the planning process, as it did for most people, but I am glad that I made our wedding happen. We got ready at an Airbnb in Dallas, had the ceremony at the Dallas Arboretum (my favorite place in the city) and had the reception at a cool cocktail lounge called The Botanist).

After looking at some florists initially, I realized that the extra thousands of dollars it would've cost me to be a little more stress free was not worth it. So I decided to do them myself. With the exception of the arch, my mother, sister and I did all the arrangements and my bouquet the night before and completed the arch the morning of. I would recommend starting sooner than that because I only got about 4 hours of sleep. That was rough! If you use wet floral foam, arrangements can definitely be made 2 days prior to the wedding, depending on when they are delivered and as long as the flowers have had ample time to open up.

I ended up going with colors that blended with the season, environment, and our hair ha ha (I have red hair and he has some red in his beard). Our main colors were green and gold - his suit was a deep green and all the decor was gold. So for accents I went with ivory, brownish-orange, and pinky-peach tones. We ended up having to substitute one of our flowers that was not available. The flower that we ended up getting was an autumn mix of kangaroo paw, with dark red, orange, and yellow hues. The texture and structure of this underrated flower were really fun and interesting and it ended up being a nice addition.

My experience with fifty flowers was great, communication was good and there are a lot of options and various price points so you are bound to find something to fit your needs. Just do your research, watch a few YouTube tutorials, practice, and you are sure to love the final outcome!

In the midst of covid it was extremely challenging to plan and have the wedding of our dreams. After 3 changes of venue and cutting down the guest list we were able to some how pull off the most amazing, sentimental, sensational wedding. We wanted an outdoor wedding with breathtaking views and flowers that looked lovely and created a garden feel. We accomplished just that - thanks to fifty flowers. I have been recommending your services to friends. My girlfirend ordered flowers for their wedding a couple of weeks later and she was just as pleased as we had been

I have always dreamed of a fall outdoor wedding so when it came time to plan colors we easily agreed on cabernet and charcoal gray. For accents however, I wanted to try to represent the season without being too bold with bright colors like orange and yellow. We really struggled to find any examples online or a florist who could see the vision and be in the ball park with our pricing goal. I shopped around and begged my bridesmaids (who agreed with no begging needed!!!) to help me do flowers on my own if I bulk order. I AM SO GLAD I DID! Not only were the online companies so great to work with but I truly could not of imagined my flowers turning out any closer to my dream. We received so many compliments and people were beyond thankful for the to-go bouquet bags at the end of the night.

Ever since I got engaged, and even before (let's be honest, since I was a little girl), I had a vision in my head not for my dress, not for the venue, but for the flowers at my wedding. Flowers are my passion and happy place, so on my wedding day, I had to have the best of the best, and wanted to make my bridal party, family and loved ones attending feel like they were in a floral wonderland, and an ethereal and eclectic garden party. From the embroidered flowers on my veil, to the applique flowers on my shoes, the fresh flowers in my hair on my 100 year old floral crown worn by my mom, grandmother and great grandmother on their wedding days, to the butterflies we released after saying our "I Do's" , it was truly a magical day.

Flowers from fifty flowers went to make all of my bridesmaids bouquets, their floral crowns, center pieces for all of our tables, boutonnieres, our gazebo, and more! The flowers were incredible quality, fragrance and colors and they helped contribute to our magical day. All of the flowers we created ourselves (me, my mom, grandmother, my husband's family, my bridesmaids and others helped! It was a true labor of love, leading up to the wedding and a beautiful time and way to spend quality, enjoyable time together!) Thank you fifty flowers!

What's a wedding without vibrant, aromatic flowers? Like little sentinels assigned to accompany the bride and all her party throughout the day, they carry beauty in symbol and in form, and they are deceptively important to the tenor of the event and all its meaning.

My job as Mother-of-the-Bride was to order and arrange all the flowers for our daughter's "Burgundy, Navy, and Champagne" wedding in late September. With so many other details to take care of, our daughter was more than willing to delegate the job to me. She had read about Fifty Flowers and suggested that I start there.

I gulped and made the phone call which resulted in a 45-minute consultation with "Violet," who helped me pick the right flowers for our color scheme and our budget. She was extremely knowledgeable and quickly grasped the style and tone we were hoping to achieve. She reviewed photos of bouquets that my daughter had collected on a Pinterest Board and knew just what I meant by "elegant with a touch of vintage." She began describing various flowers and their personalities as if she were speaking of dear friends.

I was intimidated by the four large altar vases that would need arrangements, but Violet suggested that we use large Cranberry Antique Enhanced Hydrangeas. They were absolutely stunning and created the size and fullness we needed without being too expensive. She also explained how to use clear waterproof tape to create a grid on the top of the vases to support the flowers and further create the sense of fullness. On Violet's advice, I even used one of the hydrangeas as the base of the bridal bouquet. It worked like a charm!

One of our biggest challenges was finding a navy blue flower, but the thistles Violet suggested turned out to be both beautiful and original, and my personal favorite (though I never would have thought of it, myself). Once we finalized our order, Violet sent a chart that showed the quantity of each flower to use in each of the bouquets and arrangements. With so many beauties, a few tricks of the trade, and my sister's help, the whole thing came together almost like magic.

The flowers were delivered right on time. I received email and text updates from FedEx, so I knew exactly when they would arrive, and once they were delivered, I also received a follow up phone call from Fifty Flowers with care instructions.

Every mother-of-the-bride knows that weddings are stressful. It's hard to say goodbye. And you want everything to be perfect. Weddings are also beautiful. They can symbolize just about everything that life holds in store. And the humble flower's place in that mystery is steadfast and unassailable.
