Let me post the flowers she wants: Lots of Greens (smart girl! Makes an arrangement look full and can bring down the cost in Turkey.) Sadly, In Turkey the Flowers are a lot more than the Greens, whereas in USA, you can go to a wholesaler and the flowers are cheaper, but the greens are way expensive!
A wants White Lillies. I know in USA they are funeral flowers but I can make them not look funeral-ish and she wants some White Roses too, which will make her flowers really Romantic looking
Ahhh, timeless and romantic classic white rose. Symbolic of purity and love, such a classic for a wedding bouquet. Here they are highly covet in a wedding bouquet and very very expensive. 4-8 dollars for one short stem. She wants about 10. I am trying to tell her with her tiny hands, and looking at her dress she might want to cut back, because that can be one heavy bouquet for a 5 foot 4 inch and weighing only 105 pounds! But, we will come up with something wonderful.
I talked her into adding a few Stephanotis because here in Turkey they are not 85 dollars for a box of them and the pins brides put in them are not that expensive either, maybe 6 dollars for a box of 18! These beautiful flowers come from the Roman and Greek Empire that are the cousins to the Jasmine Blossom. They are named after their shape: Stephan meaning "crown" and otis meaning "ear". Interesting because in History it is said that Stephanotis were put behind ones ear. There might be because of the beautiful scent it gives, or because of the regal look it has. Either way, I am happy I talked her into using this flower which is in season here in Turkey in October and will add a daintiness to her wedding flowers! I can not wait to get her flowers... Of curse I will post the final touches in the site. Want more tips in wedding flowers or any flowers? I will be happy to help you with what I know, which is not much, but happy to help anyway!!!
