Florist Meeting

We also met with our florist, Tricia (of Designs by Tricia), who was wonderful.  We went over every floral element in the wedding in meticulous detail:

yellow rose petal cones
yellow rose petal borders for the aisles
garland of greenery and clusters of daisies for the gazebo
bridal and bridesmaids' bouquets of white ranunculus, daisies, and greenery
boutonnieres of tiny daisies and ferns
small clusters of daisies (in pots or low glass vases) for the pre-reception "high rounds" (tables)
basket of daisies for guestbook/ card box table
reception centerpieces of red, orange, and yellow ranunculus with greenery in tall cylindrical glass vases

And she also showed us a massive portfolio of all the weddings she's done in and around Orange County and Los Angeles.  

One of those weddings just made it into the current issue of Martha Stewart Weddings!  Here's the link:

I am so happy we decided to use someone outside of Disney.  While I'm sure their florist would also have been great, with Tricia I feel like we're getting a great deal on a terrific floral designer.  She seems like a bit of a perfectionist (which is a good thing for most wedding vendors to be) and I can't wait to see what she comes up with for our wedding day!
