Stock White Flower

Due to Covid, My groom and I decided to have a minimony. That way we could still get married with a very small guest list this year and celebrate big next year! We were married in Florida in September and even with the hot weather, everything turned out perfect. Customer support was great working with me and my sister in law as the flowers were delivered to her house. Making the arrangements was much more simple than i thought, but fair warning, you will need extra hands to get things done! If my guest list had been the original 105 rather than 15 I would have needed more help! I will be ordering from them again for my big celebration next year!

We got married in California State Capitol Park under three Sequoias. Unfortunately, it started raining right before our ceremony, but our friends and family were total troopers. We ended up holding an umbrella under our chuppah.
After the ceremony, we moved inside to the Sacramento Masonic Temple (where everything was nice and dry!). We decorated the reception venue with lots of houseplants, white papel picado, and green, white, and gold floral arrangements. Our friends helped us make our arrangements using the classic wedding greenery and monochromatic white boxes from Fifty Flowers. We supplemented with a few cloth monstera leaves that we had spray-painted gold. Our photobooth props were huge palm leaves and other plants that we'd foraged from friend's houses around town in the days before the wedding.
Our botanist friend Allyson made the groom's boutonniere and the bride's bouquet from the same Fifty Flowers combo boxes. She also snuck in some of the gold monstera leaves, which also matched the bride's earrings. It was all perfect.
We had a brass band play during the cocktail hour, which was extra special because we met in high school marching band. After the brass band, we had a mariachi band play some classic mariachi music. Then we ate tacos, heard some lovely toasts, and had our first dance to "Lovin' You, Baby" by Charles Bradley. The mariachi band ended their set by playing hava nagila. We were so excited! A mariachi hora was the perfect way to blend together our two families and cultures!!!
After the hora, we switched over to a DJ and danced until late. Afterwards, we headed back to HI Hostel of Sacramento (a beautiful victorian converted into a hostel) where we were staying for the whole weekend with 50 of our friends. Our friends had used some of our arrangements to make a beautiful and romantic pathway to our room. We had the best time!

The flowers arrived on Wednesday as expected an were absolutely beautiful! It was a perfect day in Maine for a wedding. We would recommend FiftyFlowers to anyone doing their own wedding flowers!

For the big day I'm envisioning tons of flowers, and I know that using a florist would blow my budget out of the water, so I'm planning to do them myself. In order to ensure everything goes smoothly right before our wedding I decided to order this dahlia and ranunculus combo pack in light pink so I could see what the experience was like ordering from Fifty Flowers. Right from the beginning, their customer service was fantastic: I got a text confirmation immediately, and a phone call the next day to see if I had any questions/concerns. The day of delivery the flowers arrived before noon, and I followed the instructions on the box immediately to give them a fresh cut and put in water. Shortly after, I got another phone call from them, which was an automated message giving me instructions on how to care for the flowers, which I really appreciated since I'm not particularly green of thumb.
Upon arrival there were more blooms than promised in the description, which was good about half of the dahlias were partially crushed and a little bruised. I was hoping they'd perk up more once trimmed and put in fresh water, but sadly the crushed ones stayed a little lopsided and brown. The ranunculus were mostly closed, but blossomed beautifully over the next few days. Five days later, most of the dahlias have died, but a handful of the smaller ones are actually still looking beautiful, and the ranunculus have continued to open up and become more and more gorgeous. I think when I order for our wedding I'll order ranunculus on its own and get them three or four days before the ceremony because they are just stunning once they open up.
Over all, I'm quite happy with my Fifty Flowers experience, and can't wait to get my big order together for the wedding!

The Dotty Hanssen family would like to thank you for providing the absolutely perfect flowers for her CELEBRATION OF A BEAUTIFUL LIFE. Since she had lived 25 years in Hawaii, the Oncidium and Cymbidium Orchids, Birds of Paradise, Ginger, Parrot Tulips, and Monstera leaves made for gorgeous tropical arrangements. The 200+ attendees had many compliments on not only the brilliant colors, but also the fresh and healthy quality of everything. We were also impressed with how easy it was for us amateurs to make it appear that professional florists had made the arrangements. Thank you again. THE CLIFF HANSSEN FAMILY
