Floral redemption

A phone call from yesterday:

Celeste: "Josiah, the florist was awesome."
Josiah: "That is the first time I've heard you say something was awesome."

It's true. I've been less than thrilled about some recent wedding experiences, but my meeting with Jeanne from White Poppy was incredible.

First of all, she was excited. And had ideas. And cared about what I thought (a novel idea?).

At one point she called herself the "anti-wedding florist," which sold me haha. She explained that she's not into the frilly tulle and bows and nonsense garbage. I'm stoked about that.

I can't wait to work with her and get everything figured out. What a relief. It was a great feeling to walk out of her home studio (in the beautiful Arcadia neighborhood), and be truly excited.

Saturday brings another appointment to try on dresses at Uptown Bridal in downtown Chandler. They have a great collection (read: more than one) of shorter dresses. I can't wait to try them on!
