Snapdragon White Flower

I consider myself to be a practical gal, and knew that throughout the wedding planning process, certain things would fall outside of our budget range. The one thing I was set on however, was the fact that I NEEDED real flowers and greenery at my wedding and reception. The thought of using fake flowers felt like I was getting cheated a little. I know they last longer...but I wanted to be able to smell the flowers and eucalyptus throughout the night, cementing it in my memories. I wanted a mix of large blooms mixed into a variety of eucalyptus. I bought a box of 125 white roses from BJ's, the Extra Large pack of Eucalyptus mix, and 20 bunches of the silver dollar eucalyptus for good measure. I was so skeptical about how big or little the bunches would be when they arrived, because they are based on weight. Friend, let me tell you, IT WILL BE ENOUGH! I am happy to say that it was plenty for my wedding party, the ceremony and the reception decoration. The night before the wedding we had an all hands on deck bouquet bash, and we created all of the bouquets, wreaths, and boutonnieres . Wendy at Fiftyflowers was my designated CSR, and she was wonderful. She texted me immediately once I placed my order, and again when my flowers were delivered to make sure that everything was arrived in good condition! I was very impressed, and definitely recommend Fiftyflowers to all DIY savvy brides-to-be!

Two East coast kids, Connor and myself, planned our highly anticipated wedding all the way across the country in California and loved every second of it! After spending countless hours scrolling through Pinterest, our vision became clear. We would have to throw a wild, crazy, cool wedding, that was truly US. Each vendor was carefully sought out, off-the-beaten-path, alternative, and unique. When it came time to figuring out flowers and I saw what our ideas were quoted at, I took a moment of silence, a minute of sadness, and knew there had to be another way. When I found Fifty Flowers, immediately my mind was set - I would do the flowers myself. As a designer this was fun for me, a challenge, and a learning experience. In no time I was a floral expert (or I'd like to think). With a small militia to back me up (12 bridesmaids, moms, dads, and grandma), I knew it could be done. All hands on deck, I was filled with joy as I watched the people closest to me smile, laugh, and bond while tying together our special day. The photos listed here are from both my rehearsal dinner and wedding. Thank you everyone, and thank you Fifty Flowers for making this weekend unforgettable.

Josh and Demerey met in college at the University of Nevada Reno. She was a local girl and he was from Alaska. They decided a half way point between the two families would be the perfect place to get married (Fox Island, WA). Demerey's grandparents have an amazing residence on the Island where they were able to host the wedding and spend the rest of Labor Day weekend. Josh and Demerey said I Do in front of their friends and family on a gazebo overlooking the Puget Sound.
