Brides planing weddings these days are very lucky in my book. Pinterest, Flickr, blogs, and Google image searches, have made finding floral styles and color palettes of what are imagining for your event, incredibly easy.

So what do brides do when they can’t find something similar to their vision in an already styled image? Even with all the social media at our finger tips, I have found that every season there are a few brides that can’t quite find an image or images that could help bridge their vision to their florist and event planners.

This is where prototypes come in. To be completely sure that on the day of your wedding you aren’t going to be unpleasantly surprised, I like to make up a small prototype of what I believe the client is expecting. It can be kept to a minimal extra charge and gives you much peace of mind. Even if I hit the nail on the head with the prototype, there are always advantages to seeing your vision in person. You may decide you don’t like the pointy-ness of some flowers, or the petals of other flowers ect… It is a great way fine-tune your look, and know what to expect when you pick-up your personals, or walk into your wedding ceremony and reception venue.

Below are a few pictures of a prototype we did last week. We were able to really hammer out some specific details, and now both the bride and us, feel confident that the final product will be perfect!
