Life as Mother of the Bride: We have a Florist and Day of Coordinator!

It seems like just yesterday the proposal occurred.. but it was actually 3 months ago!
The Bridal Party has been choosen and said "Yes!" The Venue has been chosen and booked.
Tuesday, July 17, 2018... We have a Florist and Day of Coordinator! Tammy Bell from T & T Flowers. 
Lexi had very strong thoughts on what she wants her flowers to look like on their wedding day. We needed to find a florist that was a perfect fit! She must be able to take Lexi's vision and make it a reality! Lexi has her visions, she has her pictures and she has her vision board. So the stage is set.. we just need someone to re-create that vision.
Lexi has also been very adament that we will only have a Day of Coordinator and I will coordinate the rest of the wedding (make that our wedding tribe.. Gig, Mimi, Brandy, Farren and I!) She has always loved her birthday celebrations, baby and wedding showers that we have planned so it's only natural that we would help her and take an active roll in planning their big day! 
We felt truly blessed when we realized our florist is also a coordinator and is willing and excited to be Lexi's Day of Coordinator. We will have the plans, ideas, decorations and all our special details ready and Tammy will take over when she arrives putting them out and coordinating the rehearsal morning and making sure the day goes smoothly!
((Since I'm going back and time and writing about our wedding adventures.. I can tell you .. Tammy & her team met and exceeded our expectations. We booked Tammy in July 2018 and we chatted on the phone from July until the wedding day and we met at her shop to chat and make sure we were on the same page this spring, When it was time for Bridal's Mimi and Grandad went and picked up Lexi's amazing Bridal bouquet. When I was nervous the week before the wedding that the littles might need to practice being in the wagon and pulling the wagon she let them stop back by and pick it up for us to practice with. So helpful! So amazing at creating the perfect floral arrangement. Lexi's bouquet, the bridesmaids bouquets, corsages and boutonnieres were all amazing. 
On the Wedding day.. Tammy and her girls arrived for the rehearsal Sunday morning and guided it along seamlessly, set up the flowers at the ceremony site, set up all of the pictures, signs, guestbook table, favor table, bubble table, the huge backdrop & added the flowers to the top, the mantle, centerpieces and more! 
When it came time for the wedding to begin she kept us on schedule, calmed nerves, corraled the wedding party and more. 
Tammy was such a huge part in making it a perfect day!!! We couldn't have made a better choice.. so thankful we found Tammy and her shop.
