Blooms by the Box: Contest update!

There she is. Haunting your dreams yet? 

I've been patiently holding off on writing a new post since I have been torturing every social media outlet with flower spam for the past week. So here's a quick update about our entry in the Blooms by the Box contest!

For the first few days, we were neck-and-neck with another entry. However, we've now fallen behind by about 50 votes and only have until Sunday, April 13th at noon to catch up! All you have to do is visit our inspiration board and click 'like' - it's that easy! In fact, if every person who liked our Facebook-official engagement announcement liked our contest photo, we would be STOMPING the competition by over 200 votes! The second-place prize is $75, which would still be wonderful to win; I think I would use that money to DIY simple arrangements for the dessert bar/gift table or settle on super minimalistic maid's bouquets (I'm talking 3 hydrangea steams each and that's it). But for now I'll just maintain hope that we can pull ahead!

I did get a chance to meet with Bridget from Flowers to the People while in St Louis this past weekend, and she was just as awesome as I expected; she was completely encouraging of my DIY flower endeavor, saying that arranging bouquets "is not rocket science" (see guys, even the pro says it's doable!!). She happened to be working on some flowers that are pretty darn close to my vision and I'm now waiting on her estimate. Although free is ALWAYS better in my book, I think we have a great alternative if the Blooms by the Box contest doesn't end in our favor.
