As soon as the ring was on my finger I knew I wanted Dahlias and Orchids at the wedding. I love how different both of these flowers are and I loved the bright and beautiful colors. I wanted my flowers to be all of the color at the wedding!
My amazing mother said she would start growing some so they would be ready for the big day. She bought some bulbs but decided these little guys were way more intricate than she realized. She started doing some research and realized that there was a Dahlia Society of Santa Cruz County. She immediately joined in on the Friday night meetings and told the group that her daughter wanted all Dahlias for her wedding. Each one of their eyes lit up and they vowed to help her out. Not only did they give her tips and bulbs but they offered up their fields of Dahlias for the big day! The day before the wedding we went from garden to garden picking whatever we wanted for bouquets, vases and basic decor. They were huge, amazing, brilliant and the most beautiful thing I have ever seen!
I also bought the orchids at costco making my flower total about $50!!
