After attending a wedding show and seeing the amazing displays by QFC and seeing how affordable they were in comparsion to others, I contacted Katie Hird at Bellevue Village. Katie's experience and creativity was so amazing! I appreciated her good communication and planning through email, and in person consultation on what I was invisioning and wanting, and delivered to West Seattle from Bellevue and then also set up as well for a low cost! We ordered flowers for the wedding party, centerpieces and for our ceremony backdrop. It was important to me to keep within my budget as well as have a certain look. Katie was helpful in suggesting in season flowers I might like and I was able to find gold vases/containers of my own to bring in (I wanted an unmatched look) and it saved me a lot of money that she was able to do that too. I was worried that staying within a small budget would mean I would have tiny looking centerpieces--boy was I wrong! They were beautiful and full of flowers and greenery and they filled the room and ceremony backdrop. Katie also labeled each of the wedding party flowers so everyone knew whos was whos. After the wedding, we donated all of our flowers to a hospice and nursing home facility--I highly recommend this to anyone who is getting married, so others can enjoy your flowers too vs going to waste! Katie also made a cute flower crown for our flowergirl and she loved wearing it! I also worried that I didn't have a contract or something with QFC like I did with all my other vendors. I talked to Katie about it and was assured I was booked for the date and they just needed a deposit to confirm. I was nervous, but so glad I trusted them since it was how it worked out! I highly recommend working with QFC and especially Katie! I still am enjoying my dried bouquet! oh, and make sure you have a QFC card to get gas points! ;)
