My Wedding Vendors Part IV - Courtney's Floral Creations

When I first told my dear friend Lori about my engagement she was super thrilled for Tim and I. She is one of the greatest friends a girl could have. She is super supportive, helpful, and fun. It was so terrific to discuss my ideas, and thoughts for the wedding with her. She of course had lots of great suggestions, and really good listening ears! But what really blew me away about Lori, was that she told me she wanted me to have the bridal bouquet of my dreams, and that she was going to make it happen.

I had a really good idea of what I wanted, but I wasn't sure who should be my florist. Lori immediately suggested Courtney's Floral Creations located in downtown Falmouth. Lori and I have very similar taste, so I knew this would be a good place to start. And once I met with Courtney, I knew I could stop searching.

Courtney is amazingly talented, and has fantastic taste. Her floral arrangements are just breathtaking. When meeting her I was amazed by how inviting her shop was. She was so engaging, and relaxing to be around. I felt like we could talk about flowers, weddings, and basically anything all day long! When discussing my bouquet she really took the time to figure out exactly what I was hoping for. We talked about how realistic it would be to acquire some of the out of season flowers that I loved. She also demonstrated how with different flowers she could still produce a bouquet that shared the same style, traits, and essence I was looking for. Basically, when I left her shop I knew I was in good hands. When my flowers arrived on my wedding day I was so happy. My bouquet, along with my bridesmaids flowers looked so charming, and elegant. I wanted very garden inspired, soft, creamy bouquets, and that is what Courtney created! The girls loved their flowers, and I wish that I could have kept my bouquet forever. Yet, it was even sweeter presenting my bridal bouquet to my Grandmother after she, and my Grandfather were the last remaining couple on the dance floor for the "Longest Married Couples Dance". My Grandma was so touched, and simply loved the bouquet! Below, is one of my favorite pictures of my Grandma and I, taken earlier in the day with my pretty bouquet. Thank you Courtney for being such a pleasure to work with, and creating the perfect bouquets for my wedding. I was super impressed with your work, and will always recommend your shop!

And thank you Lori, for making it all possible!!!
