Remember the game Hungry Hungry Hippos? This used to be one of my favorite games as a kid so it was only fitting that I pass on the tradition to my own kids. The only issue I ran into was the blatant choking hazard of the small white feeding marbles for the hippos' voracious appetite. So, rather than waiting a few more years to introduce the game, I decided to substitute the little white marbles with cereal (ie. Kix). This simple substitution works perfectly for my little men! They get to enjoy the game and eat at the same time!
My point? Yes, I do have one that pertains to the floral world. I know some of you may not want to hear this but there are times that florists will need to use botanical substitutions depending on what Mother Nature decides to offer during that season. Keep in mind that Mrs. Nature has a mind of her own and no one can control what she will produce and how she will produce it. For the most part, we can predict what will be in season but sometimes she likes to throw us a curve ball. So, in the event those precious peonies are not available in exact shade you wanted, your florist should contact you to let you know what the other options are. And if you end up hiring a GREAT designer, he/she will make your decor look just as stunning (if not better). Let's face it....its not as much about the flowers as it is the designer. Right?
As a word of advice, I might have a few back-up options in the contract if you have specific varieties in mind for your decor. My personal preference is to go with a general feel of your decor in seasonal flowers if possible.
Hope that this tid-bit of info helps you in your wedding decor planning!
Yours Truly,
