Alright, so, the big day is coming up, and guess what? I had to get involved in picking out the flowers. Yeah, the flowers. Not exactly my area of expertise, but my fiancée wanted my input, especially on the boutonniere – that little flower thing guys wear on their suits. So, I dove in, and here’s how it went down.
Getting Started
First off, we sat down and looked at tons of pictures online. I mean, who knew there were so many types of flowers? My fiancée had some ideas from what she had seen at other weddings and all those wedding magazines she has. We started making a list of the ones she liked for her bouquet and the overall theme.
Choosing My Boutonniere
Then came the time to pick mine. We decided it should complement her bouquet but not be too matchy-matchy. She showed me some styles she thought would look good, and we narrowed it down to a few options. It’s kinda tricky because you want it to look nice but also not too flashy, you know?
Visiting the Florist
Next, we went to a local florist. This was an experience. We walked in, and it’s like a jungle of colors and smells. The florist was super helpful, though. She listened to our ideas and showed us some real-life examples of the flowers we were considering. Seeing them in person made a big difference.
Making the Decision
After some back and forth, we finally picked the flowers. For her bouquet, we went with a mix of roses and some other flowers I can’t pronounce. For my boutonniere, we chose a single, smaller rose that matched one of the colors in her bouquet. It looked pretty sharp, I gotta say.
The Final Touches
The florist explained how she would put everything together and gave us some tips on keeping the flowers fresh for the wedding day. She also talked about delivery and making sure everything arrived on time. It’s a lot more involved than I thought.
So, that’s my story of getting involved in the wedding flower process. It was actually kind of fun, and I learned a lot. Plus, my fiancée was happy that I was part of it. And I have to admit, the flowers we picked out are going to look pretty awesome on the big day. Mission accomplished, I guess!
