Customer comment

Pat,

Those flowers were beautiful!!  We were so happy with how they turned out!  I had no idea they would look that good!!  I wish you were in Kansas, I'd buy flowers more often knowing they could look like that!  Or I could just move to Florida!  We did not want to come back!  I had Matt take a bunch of extra pictures of them because they were so beautiful!!

Thanks so much,
Rita

Dear Rita,
Thanks so much for letting me post your comment.
It was really a fun wedding to do. When you consider we never even met and did all the planning over the phone and by e-mail... It  came together perfectly!!
Venice is more and more becomming a destination wedding location.. Isn't it great that all the details can be done with out a hitch!
Thanks again Rita ...I will post pictures when they get back to me.

NEW TRENDS IN FLOWERS TO WEAR..JUST IN TIME FOR HOMECOMING

October 15th, 2010 | By: Mandy Maxwell                 TRENDY NEW POCKET
                                BOUTONNIERES..

                                                           WHAT WILL THEY THINK OF NEXT???
                                                            DARE TO BE DIFFERENT AT THE DANCE.....
                                                            OR BE A DASHING GROOM!!
The boutonniere and the pocket square have long been part of a gentleman's formal attire. Creative florists have recently began to combine the fresh-flower look of the boutonniere and the placement of the pocket squares for something new and festive!
But Honey…. do I *have* to wear a boutonniere??
The biggest complaint we hear from guys about boutonnieres is that they don't want to wear flowers that close to their face. Most men are just picky, but some have allergies that genuinely prevent them from wearing a bout'. Having flowers farther down in the pocket can be a big relief for men with this problem.
Often times the groom's boutonniere gets practically destroyed during the activities of your wedding reception. Pocket squares tend to be a little more sturdy than boutonnieres because they aren't pinned to your tuxedo. The bride is able to comfortably wrap her arms around the grooms neck without fear of crushing flowers or getting pin stuck.
Floral Pocket Squares — Boutonniere Alternative For Proms & Homecomings
Not only will the pocket square stand up to all of the festivities of a wedding reception — just think how perfect this trend is for teens going to homecoming or prom! I don't know what it is about boys, but they love to take things apart. By the end of prom night, a guys boutonniere is often in 5 different pieces and the pin is stuck in his buddy's arm. (Hopefully not, but you get the idea.)
With the floral pocket square, there are no pins. The design is attached, usually with glue, to a long insert that fills the pocket. Prom-going teens tend to leave them alone because they are further down on their chest — out of side, out of mind. The pocket square is a great boutonniere alternative, especially for prom, homecoming and other
