Wedding Flowers at Innisbrook by The Bride's Bouquet

You ever look at a location and love everything about it but the air wall that is in the middle of your ballroom? I hear this comment a lot and the answer to your dilemma is to hire the creative people at ConceptBait ( http://www.conceptbait.com/ ) . They took a room and made it look gorgeous- of course our florals helped too! Give me your opinions on what you think about the transformation.

Who should you take to pick out your wedding dress?

I had an interesting conversation with the fiance of a bride and he wanted to know if women pick out their wedding dress to Wow the Groom . He felt that most brides do not consider what the Groom may like but take the advice of their Mothers and friends . Of course every women wants their man to think they are beautiful but when I really thought about it, I think maybe I would pick out a dress that is in my comfort zone and maybe not one that would wow my new husband. I would love to hear about your experiences and your thoughts. Please feel free to weigh in on the subject. Also, he thought the best way to pick your wedding dress was to take your fiance's best friend and when he says WOW! - then you know you have your dress. As we were joking around- he and my husband offered to stand in if you do not have any male friends that might take the job seriously. They are thinking their new business venture could start a whole new trend. Prices available upon request.

The reviews are great for The Bride's Bouquet at The Sandpearl

Each week we give our all to make every wedding special and unique as the couple we are serving. So it is always great to hear from our clients that we achieved that. Below is a comment from the Mother of our bride. The couple got married at the Sandpearl on Sat March 21, 2009.

Hi Debbie! and Bill!

I just want to say thank you one last time for the amazing flowers at Maria & Shezad's wedding - while they are on their honeymoon, I am still enjoying the orchids and a few hydrangea that I have been babying to stay alive. I am saving some of the rose petals and letting them dry out to make a sachet for Maria.
I will always recommend you and your services, whenever I have the chance, as will my daughter, I'm sure. Please feel free to use our comments and any photos you wish on your website, and let me know if you do so I can see!
Sincerely,
Jana Franklin
Mother of the Bride

Sandpearl- Private Dining Room

It has been awhile since I have posted a blog because we have been crazy busy with all the spring weddings. We have really enjoyed working with all of you and I love the ideas that you bring to me. Each one of you puts your signature on your weddings and it is so fun to assist with ideas to create the look you are wanting. Last Saturday was no exception. We worked by email with Stephanie from New York and we never even met her until the day before the wedding. We were able to perfectly achieve exactly the flower style she was going for. She was a wonderful client and planned a very intimate wedding. Congratulations!

We just received a review from the Mother of the Bride ....

Debbie,

I just wanted to thank you again for making Stephanie and Ryans ceremony backup site and reception area exquisite in every way. It was difficult putting all of this together long distance not knowing how it would turn out, but when we walked into the reception it really took our breath away, it was beyond what we hoped for. Our guests commented all night about how beautiful the flowers were and how great the room looked. But more importantly a very disappointed Bride and Groom felt the weight of the world lift when they saw those rooms. As the mother of the bride there are no words to express my gratitude for that.

If you ever need a referral from the kids or myself please do not hesitate to ask. I am sincere when I say that you guys saved the day for them and we feel blessed that we found you to do our flowers. I credit you and your staff for making a disappointing stressful day turn out to be the dream day they had planned regardless of the unfortunate weather and other logistical issues. It is absolutely true what the quote on your website says because you certainly "Exceeded our expectations with unparalleled style and expertise!"

Thank you so much!
