| - I've only gotten married once. My whole wedding planning mantra was "I'm not a bride-y bride." I wanted my Las Vegas wedding to be classic in the sense that I envision Vegas weddings: an elopement. While I didn't achieve a complete elopement, I wanted that feeling, and didn't want flowers for my wedding. So I didn't plan or budget for flowers, I didn't spend anytime looking for flowers, didn't really think about flowers.
The day of my wedding, I woke up knowing I wanted (and had to have) a bouquet. Keep in mind, I had spent the past year listening to several friends who were planning their weddings and agonizing about their flowers, even stem colors (wth?)
I woke up in a complete panic (it had to be something.) I wasn't even sure getting a bouquet the day of was even possible (see above re: 1st wedding) I pulled up yelp, put in florists in Vegas, and it brought up English Garden Florist, where a fellow yelper put how she called them the day of her wedding. So I called...
The woman who answered the phone was awesome, she didn't seem put out at all that I called the day of...possibly common in Vegas?!? I was so relieved. She asked me all sorts of questions then which I had no good answers to, and a small part of me felt that I was letting the salesperson down: she obviously has spent a lot of time thinking about flowers, and dealing with brides who are detail focused. So I just told her the truth: that I wasn't a bride-y bride, I hadn't really thought about flowers, and that I hate (HATE) roses (they're over-overdone.)
I also asked that they included a matching floral hairpiece, b/c I also decided that morning I was not going to wear a veil (I don't even understand myself.)
They delivered on time, but for some reason they couldn't deliver to my suite? I had several other vendors deliver with no problem, but the delivery guy made me send someone down. Not a huge deal.
The reason I gave four stars is b/c no matching floral hairpiece was delivered. I had specifically asked that one be included. I wasn't going to make a big deal about it, as by that time we were getting ready to go (and I had bigger problems) but my mom insisted on calling them. Whoever she spoke to claimed that my order did not mention a hairpiece, but I KNOW that I did. They very graciously delivered one super speedily though, although I found when I got home I was charged additionally for. Still not a huge deal to me, but might be to others.
The flowers were gorgeous, huge, bright, and worth every penny. My bouquet was stunning, and I got many compliments. It was exactly what I would have asked for had I had designed one. I was really impressed. The designer somehow got what I wanted from a 30 second extremely non-descriptive order. That or they just have great taste. Either way...
Highly recommended!
