I’m a girl who’s gotta have a backup plan under the best of circumstances, and leaving the details of my bouquet to the whims of our rose garden (I say “our” with a bit of irony, since our only contribution is likely to be that we manage to kill them weeks before our wedding) makes that doubly true.

Plan B was always to beg our neighbors to let us have our way with their flower bushes, but I think I’ve found a better backup plan, and they deliver.

Yea, baby, I’m sending myself flowers!

I love Proflowers. Unlike many online florists, they don’t pawn your order off on a local flower shop. Instead, they deliver your flowers via FedEx/UPS (I can’t remember which)… right to your door!

They come in a spiffy little box like this:

I’ve used them quite a few times for gifts and each time the recipient has raved about the quality of the flowers. And their customer service is FANTASTIC. I made the mistake of sending my mom flowers without making sure she’d be home, and just my luck, they were headed out of town for a long weekend. When I called ProFlowers to beg them to hold the shipment, I was too late — but they sent her another bouquet a few days later for free. Seriously. I didn’t lie, fib, or bat my eyelashes, either. They’re just that cool. {Note: I’m not getting anything from them for saying this. Swear.}

I’m leaning toward a hot pink bouquet, but I’m not sure yet. If I do, I’ll order these happy carnations to make mini-bouquets and bouts.

Total cost with shipping is about $70, which is a steal for a bridal bouquet. The flowers are already “designed”, they deliver to your door, they’re relatively inexpensive… just my style. Call it almost-DIY, but I think it’s a great idea (even if I do say so myself).

Anybody else being creative about your florals?
