I Am So Excited!!

I am so excited!! I was having the worst time picking out flowers for my spring wedding! My FI and I are paying for the entire wedding ourselves so we are on a tight budget. I went to wholesale silk flower places, searched on the internet and everything for a good deal. I had a few pictures of what I wanted and the best deal I found was my bouquet and 3 bridesmaids bouquets for $450. I have 6 bridesmaids though so I thought I would try searching some more to see if I could find anything better. My best friend told me about this company that is just starting out (the owner has been doing arrangements for years though) and might work a deal with me. I was given her e-mail address and found out that she is hours away but she still wanted to help me out and work with my budget!! I sent her the pictures that I wanted, I was expecting her to pretty much laugh in my face (my budget flowers is only $750) but she made it happen. She went bargain shopping for flowers and e-mailed and sent samples of her finds. She called several times to see if I was pleased with the pictures or if I wanted something more. In the end I only spent $600 and got the most beautiful bouquet, 6 bridesmaids bouquets, 7 corsages, 12 boutonnières and 8 centerpieces. They look as though I spent $2,000. It was kinda like a customized e-bay but better customer service. Plus it only took her about 2 weeks! My wedding is now becoming more realistic and I could not be any more excited! I even got my FI motivated enough to go look at tux`s tomorrow. I am just so giddy I thought I would share it with all of you.
