Huh? Rental Flowers, R U Kidding Me?
Well, no! Read on, and you'll see why rental flowers 
make sense. First of all, rental flowers are high quality silk flowers. They are very beautiful, and in tip top shape. We only rent them a 4- 5 times and then away they go. Also, we replace the ribbons each time, so they always look perfect.
Silk flowers have several advantages over fresh: they are always fresh looking, they can take heat and cold with a smile, they can stay in your car's trunk for two days without wilting (while you drive to that perfect remote spot), and they look perfect no matter how long you keep them in the sun, while you take photos, ride limos, and dance the night away.
Silk flowers cost about the same as calla lillies, which is a medium priced flower. So, if you want fancy (read: expensive) flowers, you're smart budget option are silks.
So, if we can agree that high quality silks are a good option, then renting them makes even more sense. After all, what do most brides do with their bridal bouquets at the end of the night? Some take them home (and throw them 3 days later) and some even leave them at the reception hall.
Well, wouldn't it be nice to return them and get yourself a bonus? Imagine you needed the following floral package for yourself, 5 bridesmaids and groomsmen, and 4 parents.
- 1 Bridal Bouquet
- 1 Tossing Bouquet
- 5 Maids' Bouquets
- 7 Corsages
- 7 Boutonnieres

Of course. Just call to set up an appointment: 952-938-0778
Bouquets can be made in many styles, sizes and color combinations...
... they can be used by the bride and the bridesmaids (sometimes the bride getting a bigger bouquet)...
... they can match your dress colors...
... or the theme of your wedding...
... notice how to properly and gracefully hold a bouquet: your thumb should be just under your navel...
... present the bouquet with your fingers outstretched, and don't hold it as if it were a baseball bat :)
... and definitely get a good photographer...
... the following photos are older snap shots I took in past weddings, before we worked with the photographers at Fab Weddings on a Budget. Although the light is not great, you can still see a wide variety of pretty arrangements. Call me soon, my calendar fills up fast.
That's us, Fab Weddings Flower Power: Ashley, Anne, Heather, and Valerie. Cheers!
A note from Sarah Dahl: Rev Schaal officiated and I (Heather) took care of the flowers
Hello Heather,
The wedding was absolutely perfect! Everything went flawlessly. We couldn't have asked for a better day and everyone, *everyone* had a great time. The flowers were gorgeous and really held up well, even the ones in our hair. Some of the bouquets are still blooming at home right now!
I just wanted to thank you for the amazing job--you really know your stuff and you did exactly what I envisioned when we spoke together. Anytime you need a reference for future work, you let me know and I'll be happy to provide it. Good work like this deserves to be recognized, and any way I can help you in your future wedding career would be my pleasure.
Thanks again for the spectacular job on our bouquets and other flowers, and for being so accomodating with the pick up. It was a HUGE help to be able to pick them up in Forest Lake the day of the wedding.
