In 2018, my sister got engaged and began planning her wedding. Like any excited sister, I was with her at every step.
But when it came to florals we were quickly overwhelmed.
After spending hours online browsing floral inspiration we learned a few things. Magnolias are expensive. Peonies wilt immediately in hot sun. And she definitely did not want to spend the honeymoon fund just to get the dreamy Orchids on her inspiration board.
But as we looked at other options, like DIY’ing fresh flowers or purchasing silk flowers, there was no good balance between cost, convenience, and beauty.
Ordering bulk fresh flowers was cost effective, but assembling them the day before the wedding would be time consuming and worry-some… not to mention the hassle of cool storage and transportation. And silk flowers were usually ugly plastic or insanely expensive – sometimes more expensive than fresh!
