ago today, I got married. A spectacular day in a small Colorado mountain town.
But it was also the day that really captivated me with crazy floral endeavor that I started pursuing only 2 months later when Shelley took me under her wing; wild-eyed and bewildered, as an intern at Bow Street Flowers. With absolutely no experience to boot, might I add. When I first met my florist/day-of-planner/miracle worker Lauren over coffee, both my mom and I felt that there was an instant connection, and that she brought a sense of ease that presided over the entire planning aspect. She understood my vision perfectly, even though my ideas were all over the place. Her excitement and knowledge, her anecdotes and stress-relieving tips throughout the process were well received - especially in our hectic state of furiously printing, collecting, sewing, painting, you name it, all of the details. Everything about Lauren was completely inspiring. I loved that Lauren ran her own events studio - Quintessential Events - from her house, her aesthetic matched my aesthetic, she would be able to do the flowers, help with final set-up and coordinate day of! Whoo Hoo! Since this day 2 years ago, but actually since the day that I met Lauren a few months prior, I knew that that was what I wanted to do.
So thank you Lauren, for not only delivering such gorgeous and perfect flowers and running the show, but for all the inspiration you unknowlingly have been. And Shelley, for taking a chance on me.
