I would highly recommend using this vendor for wedding flowers. They are a local business, which is beneficial for a variety of reasons. The quality of the product they provide is simply amazing. The flowers are fresh cut and travel a very short distance, which means that the flowers are in amazing shape. My wedding bouquet was beautiful the day of the wedding, and it actually lasted for about a week after the actual wedding (despite me hauling it around for 12 hours on my wedding day!). I really don't think that flowers that had flown half way across the world would have held up nearly as well! Plus, supporting local business is great for the community in general, and being able to support someone local while also getting a superior product just makes sense.
Ovans is also an AMAZING value! Purchasing peonies through a florist is extremely expensive, and you will likely not be getting a local (FRESH!) product. Purchasing through Ovans allowed me to decorate my entire wedding with ONLY beautiful peonies (no other stems!), which definitely would not have been in my budget to do otherwise. We actually picked our flowers up from Ovans, drove the flowers 3 hours to Madison, and had a florist in Madison time out the opening of the blooms and arrange the flowers in to bouquets and table arrangements. Ovans had all of our flowers packed well and ready to go for the trip for us, so all we had to do was drive them and drop them off! Although we did not completely DYI our flowers, we still feel that we saved a significant amount of money by purchasing through Ovans and paying only for labor at a florist. Had our wedding been closer to Merrill, we would have explored having Ovans arrange the flowers for us!
