Last week, I fully intended on ordering flowers from my usual supplier for my upcoming bridal portrait bouquet. I had already decided on getting all lily of the valley mixed with some greens and other creams (inspired by the cover of my wedding planner):

However, after I thought it through, it ended up being WAY too expensive, even with the wholesale price and the fact that I was doing it myself. Also, I am not quite sure it would look good with my dress, as it is rather poofy and elaborate.

After some thinking and looking through my millions of wedding inspiration pictures on my computer, I decided to go with a parrot tulip bouquet with green viburnum, but in all creams and greens-a variation on a bouquet that I have loved for several months:

Unfortunately for me, my supplier ran out/did not have any of the parrot tulips I so desperately wanted, so I did the next best thing - Googled a supplier that had these coveted cream and green parrot tulips (weber tulips).

That is how I came across Flowerbud.com, where I ordered my parrot tulips from.

I am hoping that when they open, they’ll look more like the Martha Stewart Flowers picture here:

Did I mention how much I LOVE Martha - she is so freakin creative and is the BEST at styling… (that’s probably why her picture is more aesthetically pleasing than the grower’s picture).

I also went ahead and ordered two bunches of green viburnum from my usual supplier just in case I need to supplement the bouquet and/or if I decide I want it to be more like the original orangey flower bouquet I loved.

Sooo… my flowers are on the FedEx truck right now and about to be delivered on my doorstep! I’m so excited… I’ll post more about my bouquet, flowers, and give a review of the companies I used after my bridal portrait on Monday!
