My weekend...part one! NOW WITH PICTURES!

So went to Simply Stems this weekend... and they were awesome. They are two ladies who have been designing flowers for years. They get their flowers from NYC and their work was great. They really took the time to understand my theme, understand what I want to do, and I have a feeling they will give me a good quote. Whether I go with them or not, I owe them because they helped me progress my theme.

It's interesting because everyone says that those centerpieces with the tall vase and the white tulips/callas coming out the top are like at least 75... but they didn't think it would be that bad. They didn't say 'ohhh french tulips will be too expensive'... they said, don't think about 'per table' - let us worry about that!

One woman was an art histroy major - and I showed her the dresses, the colors, etc. that I want to do to progress my 40's theme...and she told me that I was being historically correct!

They got me when I said I wanted to have a low CP of tulips that are actually five bo-k's that no one will see (so surprise at the end of the night, each woman at the table and take a bo-k home - I hate it when i love the flowers and want to take them but someone else beat me to it!). So, if you were thinking about them, you owe it to yourself to go meet with them. They were hilarious...reminded me of my friend and I when we get older.
