Floral Perfection

June 16th, 2010 @ 3:47 pm by Mrs. Hot Cocoa

Don’t get me wrong: I loved our wedding flowers. But every once in a while, I happen upon an arrangement on Saipua’s blog that takes my breath away, and I get just a little bit jealous of the New York brides and grooms that have access to all this beauty:

Am I the only one who tortures herself with vendor crushes that are geographically and temporally incapable of being requited?

Oh I love Saipua too Mrs. Hot Cocoa! I searched high and low when I was looking for my florist for someone with a similar style and the inspiration photos I showed the florist I chose were pretty much all from the Saipua blog…

I still look at it regularly…

Those are pretty, I’m the same, I am in love with multiple photographers. I love ours, but it doesn’t stop me from following a bunch of other photographer blogs!

ooooh woooww. Yeah. Beautiful. When I see creations like these I begin to doubt why I wanted to do my own flowers in the first place!

Of course you’re not the only one that tortures herself, silly Cocoa!!! I live vicariously through the brides on Southern Weddings Mag blog. We meet at night, you know when my eyes are closed and I’m dreaming up the most gorg day of my life, HAHAHAHHAHAHAHAH

I love Saipua! I drool over their work. Unfortunately for me, it’s not so much a geographical issue that’s keeping us apart. ;)

Saipua is my all time favorite!!! Driving into Brooklyn is always a hassle but on occasion I make the trip so I can visit their shop! It’s like a bit of heaven on a hot day!

@Miss Starfish: I do this with photographers too! I saw a Wong Kar Wai inspired shoot on Heather Waraska’s blog and just about died.

@jackie-o: ROFLOL. I think we’re in the same place in our dreams.

@Violet Violet: LOL. I’m totally with you on the price point as well. But in my fantasy, of course, the flowers are free.
