Two Florists and a Photographer Walk Into a Bar...

Mom and I went to three appointments today -- two florists and a photographer. The first florist ran her business out of her home. She does most events at the Tutwiler. I had checked out her website and knew she had an over-the-top style. I prefer simple and elegant, but you don't know until you talk to someone.

We met her co-worker, and he discussed ideas and options with us. I knew I wanted less flowers and more candles and votives. But, how do you tell a florist that you don't want flowers?? He had a few good ideas, but we left unimpressed.

Next up was our appointment with a photographer. She was very impressive and talked us through the process. She seems like someone who understands how special the day will be. We liked her portfolio and decided to use her for the wedding. (KP Studios)

The last appointment was with a florist downtown. We talked about what I wanted and he got it! He instantly understood what I wanted and made some great suggestions. We're going to use lots of vases with water, pearls, and floating votives with candles. They will work so well with my color scheme of white, silver, and light blue! (Flower Stems)
