Miss Plum, my floral designer, will be designing all of my beautiful centerpieces, bouts, and bouquets. We set up a meeting early on Saturday to visit one of our local floral wholesalers, Agroproducts America. I’ve been to a couple of other floral wholesalers in the DFW area, and I would say they definitely have the most variety and the largest coolers in the DFW metroplex. Here are some sample photos of flowers that I really like and would like to have in my floral selection. My centerpiece colors incorporate every shade of green that I can find, splashes of pastel pink just to give it some more color, and chocolate brown for the branches. But I think the primary color I would like to have is green.

Here are some random photos I took on Saturday with Miss Plum.

Green Viburnum

Pink and green roses

I think this is lady’s mantle.

Google image of ranunculus ( I took a poor photo of one ) - it has become my favorite flower ever since I laid eyes on these suckers.

No idea what this one is called.

Of course the never disappointing hydrangea.

I like the size and shape of this birch tree but not feeling the color - I need thicker and darker branches.

I also fell in love with quince branches, but they won’t be in season for my end of May wedding.

I will be stealing my bouquet design from Mrs. Ladybug - lovin’ the white mesh wrap on the flowers.

I will also be stealing Mrs. Firefly’s boutonieres, too freaking cute! I love berries - I might need to put them into my bouquet somehow.

Here are some photos for my floral inspiration from Oct2006bride. We will also have 4 smaller arrangements around the base of the centerpiece just to give it some more flower eye candy. Please view my Admitting My Love For Branches blog for some more photo inspiration.

How did you choose your florals for your wedding? Did you pick through the florist’s book, bring your own photos, or just winged it with your florist?
