Mrs. Lemon's Picture
Mrs. Lemon, Los Angeles/Monterey Age and Occupation in 2006: 26, Graduate Student (Public Policy) Fiance's Age and Occupation in 2006: 29, Environmental Consultant Engagement Date: April 7, 2006 Wedding Date: July 7, 2007 Venue: Rosary Chapel & Monterey Marriott, Monterey, CA About Me: My FI and I met online, but we like to tell people that we met at a "cookie shop" which is the technical location of our first encounter. He proposed exactly 1 year, 1 month and 6 days after our first date (it's the only part of his proposal speech that I remember), and we're planning long-distance from Los Angeles for a July wedding in my hometown of Monterey, CA.

Lemon Day VIII: Purty...Purty Flowers :  wedding flowers monterey pictures post wedding Z112170503 z112170503

I love flowers, but when it came to the exact flowers I wanted for the wedding, I was clueless. I knew I wanted whites, creams and blues. Oh… and they needed to be naturally arranged as opposed to being symmetric and modern. And pretty…. really really pretty. Thank goodness my florist (Kim England) read through my wants and used her creativity to deliver exactly what I had hoped for!

My brother was the flower courier, picking up the boxes and delivering them to my aunt’s house and to the chapel.

There were 4 BM bouquets and 1 MOH bouquet. Each one was different, and the amount and color of the blue flowers was different in each of the bouquets (going from light blue to dark blue).

The guys were pretty simple too, but all unique as well. Here’s Mr. Lemon’s bout.

In the end I’m really glad I left this job up to the experts, since their styling was perfect. I got something original and unique to our wedding, and I didn’t have to think too hard about any of it or become a flower expert overnight. And I got “pretty” flowers on my wedding day… which is all that I wanted.

They are so lovely Mrs. Lemon! May I ask what type of flower was used in Mr. Lemon’s bout, if you know what it is? It looks like an orchid maybe but I don’t know which variety. We really want a bout just like that minus the blue flower, so I was just wondering.

These are gorgeous flowers. If I had to choose again, I would definitely use this as my examples for the florist. I love how there’s a range of blues to work with. Your florist did a great job!

We said basically the same thing to our videographer….we just want a “cool video” and left it up to them. We did our research and trusted their style and what we got back was amazing.

Congratulations, and those are stunning choices for your wedding flowers.

I know, it is pretty hard to choose which would be appropriate and perfect for the event, as there are many choices to choose from. I’m glad I can rely to my Tacoma florist friend anytime I want.
