Floral Tip

Give your florist a swatch of a bridesmaid’s dress. If you ask for blue flowers for the bouquets, and the florist thinks periwinkle when you’re envisioning cornflower, you may be disappointed. Also, relieve yourself of the stress of totally matching everything to the exact color....first of all, it's impossible for perfect matches and in pictures that you won't even notice. Obvious differences are one thing, but exact matches can make you too stressed unnecessarily! Happy Planning!
