Floral Affairs is a full service floral shop with a few gift
ideas mixed in. I first found them on the web and was immediately impressed by
the arrangements they offered. Once I walked in and saw them in person I knew I
had found a real gem in Greenfield. It was only further confirmed after talking
with friends and finding they loved them too.
Rebecca is also the floral designer in the shop. Her
philosophy on flowers for weddings is, “you only get one day to get it right.”
This philosophy shows in her work. As a self-proclaimed perfectionist, she
spends a lot of time consulting with her brides to make sure the flowers are
perfect. She will walk you through step-by-step planning, creating a wishlist, and
fitting it into a realistic budget. Some of the questions she asks include:
What color are the dresses? What style or feel odes the wedding have? Where is
it located?
Her major piece of advice to brides is before you order
flowers, have three things set in stone: the dresses, the location for the
wedding, and have a clear style or theme for the wedding. All of these things
are very important for picking the right flowers. If your dresses end up one
shade off from what you thought it can clash with the flowers. You also want to
have them feel like they belong with the rest of the wedding.
For the DIY brides Rebecca has started a new program. The
bride orders all of the flowers in bulk, makes the arrangements with guidance
and the store stores and conditions the flowers for the day. This is great for
brides trying to save a little money, but also for the brides that like to be
creative. Rebecca recommends getting your bridal party involved too.
Overall, this has been a great experience getting to know
Rebecca and the floral shop. I would recommend them to anyone I come across who
needs flowers, not just weddings.
