I have met with hundreds of couples and Brides over the years and still find new beginnings ever time. Each couple have a vision of what they want their unigue wedding day to be. Usually after choosing the venue, ceremony site, and of coarse "the dress" the other vendors are contacted.
As a wedding florist I have a job but more importantly I have a passion . The passion is to capture your vision and bring that to a reality for you. Educating you on what flowers are available, seasonal inspirations, personal reflection matching your personalities, and creating a life time of memories. Richmond Virginia is full of wonderful landmark sites for todays couples and that is only the beginning.
Now it's time to use those surrounding to cultivate the flowers that will naturally fall in place with the environment. Or simply create one from scratch. But experience is an important virtue because the florist should be familar with the wedding site. This is soooo important. Lasting Florals has worked at almost all of the local RVA and surrounding wedding sites. This is vital to knowing what looks best in the surrounding gardens, structures, plantations, farms, and all wedding locations.
Now on to the pricing of wedding flowers. Just how much should you spend ? Well, that depends on how important your flowers are to you for the overall effect you want for your wedding day. Flowers are not inexpensive but they don't have to break the bank either. Consider the number in the Bridal Party and extended family you want to honor with flowers. Then how many guest tables will be needing flowers. Are you getting married in an environment that can hold it's own or will flowers be needed to decorate a blah site. Are fresh flowers what you always dreamed of on the cake. All of these things come into play and should be covered with the Bridal consultation and leave you feeling comfortable with the quote you have been given. Nothing makes me feel better after meeting with a Bride and seeing the sign of relief on her face instead of worry she can't have want she wants. If there is a will , I find there is always a way !
