Destination Weddings and Honeymoons

Like many brides-to-be, before we head out to our photo shoots we have to make sure all of the logistics (from airport transfers to meals) are arranged. But one of my favorite things in the prep process is working with the local florist on our bouquets. After going over the general details, it's pretty cool seeing what they create.

For our latest venture in Palm Springs we were lucky enough to work with Luna at Arrangements Floral and Party Designs. We weren’t able to meet with her in person, but after outlining our ideas (clean lines, nothing frilly) over the phone, she obviously got the picture. Needless to say, when the flowers arrived, we were stoked!

So while prepping major details such as dresses and jewelry is always a blast, it’s still fun to fret over little stuff like flowers and bouquets. They usually add that extra bit of prettiness everyone can appreciate.

Bouquets from $200, boutonnieres from $20

Sneak Peek - Wedding Gowns
