Flowers can be the “jewels” of your wedding day. They can add the finishing touches and the personality to your special day. Next question is do I do DIY or hire a florist.

Here are a few reasons why you might consider a florist:

A florist uses the right variety of flowers to achieve the look you desire

Temperature, location, and time of year are all under consideration when deciding the flowers.

A florist can help you save money when buying flowers.

A florist knows how to calculate the quantity of each varieties of flowers you will need. This means less waste, and sometimes can suggest a less expensive alternative but have the same look you want.

A florist can arrange flowers based on your style and personality.

Always keeping your idiom in mind, a florist will know how to put flowers in the right places to give the visual interest and style you want.

A florist can process and store the flowers properly so they look their very best.

Properly treating and storing is an essential part of displaying the beauty of your flowers.

A florist will relieve some of the stress related to your wedding day.

You should be enjoying you day. Get your makeup done, spend time with the people you love. We are here to take that stress away.

Remember this is YOUR day…This is your story..This is your memory.

Many have asked me how I came up with the name I Do Weddings with Love.

I had been in the business working for others for years. Never having any say in how things were done. Then one day, I was told that I would never be able to handle my own business, I was not “good enough”. Well that was it.
Sitting at the table thinking of how I WAS good enough, I knew I had to have a name for my business in order to get a business license. So what do I do? “I do Weddings “. How do I do them? With Love.

I Do Weddings with Love…THAT’s it!!!!
now I have my own business. It’s grown bigger and better every year. I AM GOOD ENOUGH. In fact I am really good enough.

so if you had ever doubted yourself, take it from me, you will never know until you try. And you are good enough too.

Just In…..

I started the day with a wonderful way. A styled shoot publication that I planned and designed florals for. 

I excited to share with you

I have a styled shoot group that I started about 3 years ago. Since then, we have done over 50 shoots and published about 100 different publications. Unbelievable !

I am not patting myself on the back for two reasons. I started this group to meet other artists throughout the wedding industry. I see work ethic, skills, and personality. When my clients ask, I can tell them that I know all about them. Second, I get to expand my skills in ways I never am allowed before. I get the opportunity to do creations that are off the charts cool. 

If you ever want to see some of my creations, check out my styled group, Styled Shoots with Annette & Friends on Facebook.

Heart & Soul

I know there is so much to do when planning a wedding. Choosing your venue, finding that perfect dress, interviews of wedding vendors, tastings for food and cake, sending out invitations, and making out the guest list. Now you have selected what you want, who you want, and where you want it.
The last phase is the decor for the day. Shocked on all the monies you have spent, going thru pages of Pinterest, having everyone give their opinions. I know you are overwhelmed.
I want to be the one that makes the process as easy as possible when deciding what flowers you will be using. I like to give a three tier alternative to my clients. This gives you different ideas for your inspiration and taking into account the weather being a factor. Too cold or hot summer days are all taken into account when choosing your flowers.
So many choices to make the day your dream day. Don’t stress. Make this this best time of your life

When I have the opportunity to meet with my potential clients, I always try to remind them of the important “spots” on your wedding day. Those most photographed areas on your special day are the places you need to concentrate on. Think about it. Table 19 is not important as the sweetheart table.
Here are the areas of importance:

1. Your dress

2. Your bouquet

3. Your ceremony area

4. Your sweetheart table or where you are seated

5. Your cake

focus on those areas. I am not saying spend a fortune, but I am saying make them photography ready. I love to put the bridesmaids bouquets around the cake for a bigger punch of flowers. The bridal bouquet in the center of the sweetheart table to be seen all night. Make the ceremony backdrop flowers in in a container that is able to move and place around the sweetheart table.

There are many ways to make your pictures even better memories. I would love to help you.
