Lush Couture Floral

There are no words to describe what Lush Couture Floral did for our wedding decor.  One of the greatest things about my wedding planner (Kathy) was that she had vendors for EVERYTHING in EVERY price range.  I had no idea where to start on some of the things – and I had no idea what was reasonable on others – so being able have Kathy not only recommend a couple people to look at – but also tell me what to expect was a godsend.  (Seriously.  Hire a wedding planner.  Hire MY wedding planner.  She’s amazing.)

My Wedding Vision (of lack thereof)

One of these areas was flowers.  I HAD NO IDEA WHERE TO START.  Like any modern bride, I had pinned things I thought were “pretty” but I didn’t know anything about the flowers photographed.  Thanks to an amazing shot I saw on Palos Studios, I know what I wanted my bouquet to look like long before I was engaged.  However, I didn’t know anything else.  (I definitely didn’t know how much that bouquet would weigh either, lol!)

My mom had STRONG opinions about flowers.  She had issues with flowers when she got married and she wanted to be absolutely sure that I didn’t get shortchanged like she did.  So.  Kathy gave us three recommendations and told me to check their websites and pinterest boards.  The choice was pretty obvious — Lush Couture Floral would be the best vendor for the look we were going for and Kathy had worked with her extensively.

When I met with Deidre, I knew I wanted mercury glass, pretty flowers, and orchids in my bouquet.  That’s all I knew.

What Lush Couture Floral Created

What she did was incredible and her work speaks for itself.  She even ran back across the metroplex before the wedding when she forgot my Dad’s boutonniere that my mom specifically wanted in my bridal bouquet.  She did all set up and tear down and no one ever bothered me.  Her work was AMAZING.  My bridal bouquet may have weighed 20 pounds (no, but seriously.  My arms were shaking.)… and she used beautiful flowers and all of our arrangements were “lush”.  I wish our photographers had gotten better pictures of them, but you’ll have to trust me when I tell you that she did not disappoint.  She also made pew markers for family, even though we don’t have any pictures of those either. The ribbon perfectly matched my Dolly Pearl bridesmaid dresses though!  She did that with a tiny swatch!!

Aided by the Ritz Carlton Dallas, Kathy sneaked us in a back entrance to the ballroom before they let everyone else in and whisked us off to a private dining room for a quick romantic “dinner” together since it was unlikely we would be able to each much. When we walked into the ballroom, my breath was taken away by how beautiful everything had turned out.  Deidre had used lanterns, candles, flowers, and of course, all the beautiful picture frames I had given her and created something beyond what I could have ever imagined.  (Remember when I said trust your professionals?  This is why.)
