Sunflowers

Thanks to COVID-19, my brother-in-law and then future sister-in-law had make the decision to postpone their big celebration until 2021 but still wanted to get married on their original August 2020 date. They made the decision about a month before their date and had a lot of new planning to do! I offered to help with whatever they needed and was excited when they asked if I would do the flower arrangements for their arbor. I got married the September of 2019 and took on the challenge of putting my own centerpieces and bouquets together so I knew the stress of having to do this day-of. My sister-in-law had opted to use her florist for her and her MOH bouquets but wanted to decorate the arbor, since they postponed their venue no other decorations were needed. I directed her to FiftyFlowers and we ended up getting pampas grass and purple roses (the eucalyptus was purchased from her florist). The arrangements were a huge hit! So many compliments on how professional they looked. My sister-in-law and I were able to save some of the pampas after the ceremony for around the house decor.

In prepping for a COVID micro-wedding, we are trying to reduce the number of face-to-face vendors as much as possible, and this quickly led to doing our own florals. The Save-the-Grower pack was a perfect chance to try processing a small batch of flowers, and get a sense of how the progress over the suggested opening window.

Photos attached are:
-still packaged/as-received; delivered right on time by Fedex.
-re-hydrated at +2 days; most of them opened beautifully (although some of the deeply cupped garden roses stayed very dense). If a rose has a droopy neck on day 1, don't give up on it! Recut it (as sharp as possible, an inch or two up) and there's a good chance they'll spring right back to life. (I've also invested in QuickDip through Amazon for the wedding, it's a slightly acidic solution which can supposedly help prevent air bubbles, fungal growth at the end and promote better hydration). They still looked excellent on Day 3, so if your schedule is already full it would probably be OK to get them in a bit earlier.
-arranged on DAY 7. They were so gorgeous just scattered on the table in vases I didn't want to break everything down and strip off the foliage too soon! 23 garden roses made for a lovely 10"-diameter hand-tied dome (one was too fully opened to squish in), arranged in a spiral-style. I highly recommend FlowerJoos videos for tutorials, very technical but also very sweet.

Overall I wouldn't pick these colors for a wedding, but as a cheer-me-up they were stunning! I also think the small-scale practice was very useful, in terms of tools, time, and space needed. I'll be coming into the wedding week with a much better sense of time required, and I know I'll enjoy the process!

We were thrilled when our flowers arrived at our doorstep. Arranging flowers is cathartic to me. This was the perfect project for a bride the morning of the Bridal Shower. I was so pleased with how the flowers were packaged and the clear directions for assembly. I was so happy that I ordered the DIY flower combo as well. These flowers lasted weeks in our home after the event. I am so pleased and cannot wait to use Fifty Flowers for our table centerpieces at our wedding in October.

My name is Meagan and my husband's name is Blair. We met at church and dated for 4 years before he proposed to me (on our anniversary!) by writing and performing a song on the guitar to me in public. I am so pleased to say that our wedding day was the perfect representation of our relationship and love for one another. It was sweet, elegant, simplistic, rustic, and romantic. Nestled in the beautiful Tennessee Smokey Mountains was our venue, Cooper's Cove. The air was cool and crisp; perfect for our fall wedding. The most touching part of the ceremony was when we exchanged hand written vows and also having my father officiate. Everything was super personal and had some really unique touches that represented the both of us. We had a wonderful, magical day thanks to all of our vendors. Especially fifty flowers for providing the beautiful florals for our wedding. The colors were perfect, the vibe was perfect. We've gotten so many compliments on our decorations and flower arrangements. I couldn't be happier with the outcome. And most importantly, to finally be married to my best friend! Thank you for being a part of making our day so special.

Our wedding had many DIY elements and the most complicated was the flowers. Thankfully Fifty Flowers made it much easier. We originally ordered from another company who called me a few days before delivery to say they were out of so many of things in my order. Luckily, Fifty Flowers came to save the day with incredible options and outstanding customer service. I got the delivery from them just as expected. The flowers came at the perfect time and were beautiful and blooming on the day of the wedding. I couldn't have asked for a better experience with them.
