Pearls Events Press | Jammie & Aaron's Wedding Flowers

Fresh flowers are commonly used for significant events - weddings, birthday & anniversary celebrations and funerals. I believe the average consumer is baffled by how costly fresh flowers add up, especially with wedding magazines and television programs showcasing very high-end weddings. Brides-to-be fall in love with thousand-dollar-centerpieces before they even walk through the florist's door.

When we first started discussing wedding flowers, Jammie told me she loved a white silk peony in a small vase, which always sat on her nightstand. I didn't need to help Jammie dream up her wedding flowers - she had already done that - all-white, tons of texture and luscious blooms. But I did help her find the Grand Rapids florist perfect for her June 2009 wedding.

Stems Event Design owner, Natalie, recently shared Jammie's entire flower budget breakdown in Brides Michigan. If you're planning a Michigan wedding, the most recent edition is literally chock full of amazing content - more than any other issue I've seen. I would highly recommend getting a copy of it in your hands!
