WEDDING WEDNESDAY: MEETING WITH OUR FLORIST

I mentioned in yesterday’s post that part of our trip to Nantucket this weekend will be spent meeting with different vendors for our wedding on the island next summer. In addition to meeting with our venue and the tent company, we’ve also scheduled meetings with several florists! I’m really excited to get the ball rolling and start brainstorming the fun stuff.

I don’t plan to get too crazy with my bouquet or the centerpieces as I tend to like things super simple and I think the venue is pretty spectacular unto itself. 😉 Fun fact: I worked at a florist on Nantucket the summer I turned seventeen so it would be fun to work with them but we’re definitely keeping our options open! Here are a few ideas that have caught my eye…

A Carolyne Roehm tablescape featuring pink and red garden roses in blue and white porcelain vases on a striped tablecloth.

A Bastille Day tablescape with blue and white hydrangeas on a striped tablecloth.

Isn’t the floral arrangement in the Nantucket lightship basket fun? My Grandy carries her lightship basket as an everyday bag so I think it would be such a fun personal touch! (Real lightship baskets cost a pretty penny but here’s an affordable lookalike.) I’d love to hear from any of you who have planned or are planning your own weddings any advice you might have for meeting with your florist for the first time!

P.S. I started a public wedding board on my Pinterest if you want to follow along! You can also view all my Wedding Wednesday archives right here.
