Does anyone know what season is best for king protea flowers? Also, are they expensive for wedding bouquets? I want one large king protea in mine for a September wedding

“Investment”
Willbe, on January 17, 2020 at 12:15 PM

Mini-rant: I hate it when I go on the website of a florist or a photographer, and their pricing section is called “Investment”. A wedding is not an investment! A marriage is (the whole rest of your...

Shoes...save or splurge
Amanda, on January 14, 2020 at 2:33 PM

Not sure if I should save $ and get a simple shoe that I can maybe use in the future...or splurge on a statement shoe that would barely see under the dress... Thoughts?!
