so, originally i didn't want to hire a florist. *gasp*
i know. because... i kind of don't care about flowers. *double gasp*
but, even though there is a really great wholesale flower place around the block from
our old house in nashville, my mil helped me see the light that i probably don't want to be worrying about throwing together a bouquet on my wedding day.
enter:
amanda jerkins design.
another reason i didn't want a florist was because many tennessee-based flower designers are very... old school. i don't want red roses. i don't want the tiny bouquets that make bridesmaids look like they have man hands. i don't want super-colorful, overwhelming arrangements.
and then i saw amanda's portfolio and knew what i DID want.
a soft and lush bouquet for moi.
someone who can appreciate getting a bit funky with things. {also, she planned
this shoot with my wedding coordinator,
jennifer hamilton! nashville wedding vendors is like a gang. and you need to check with all your other vendors to make sure they like whomever you're bringing on board. because - trust - they all know each other. in fact, our photographers -
phindy studios - actually shot amanda's wedding.}
someone who isn't afraid to mix colors and textures.
and someone who is fun! which, based on our in-person meeting she definitely is.
plus, she was nashville wedding mafia approved :)
