Helene was amazing!nnWhen it came to my flowers I had no idea what I wanted. I had been collecting pictures on Pinterest of what looked pretty but other than that I couldn't decide. To me, all flowers are beautiful so I figured the flowers were going to be the most difficult part. I have known Helene forever and I've seen the stunning arrangements she'd done before so I knew I was in good hands.nnMy mom and I met with Helene at Panera. We talked about the feel I wanted with my wedding. I wanted fall colors to accent the bridesmaids' wine colored dresses but I didn't want the flowers to be over powering and overly orange or tacky. The way Helene talked about the flowers and asked questions, she knew exactly what I wanted when I didn't even know what I wanted.nnWe decided on lanterns for the centerpieces and Helene filled them with beautiful flowers and leaves. She found small pumpkins to go with them. The corsages and boutonnieres she put together were stunning--those who got one were speechless. She made my Great Aunt a corsage out of orchids that was beautiful. My bouquet and the bouquets for my bridesmaids were gorgeous, combining all of the colors we talked about with stunning flowers. She added a special surprise to my bouquet. My favorite color is purple so she added small purple accents to my bouquet and to my mom's corsage and my husbands boutonniere as something that ties us all together.nnThe quality of the flowers were unbelievable, many of them were still alive when we got back from our honeymoon!nnBecause I didn't know what I wanted with the flowers, Helene really took some ideas and ran with it. From the sweetheart table to the centerpieces to the memory table--so many small delicate details went into it. My guests are still raving about how beautiful everything was!
