From Chaos to Class: How a Florist Saved My Wedding Day

From Chaos to Class: How a Florist Saved My Wedding Day

Weddings are magical in Kenyaā€”our vibrant culture, stunning landscapes, and delicious biryani (if you know, you know) set the perfect stage for anyone saying, "I do." But my wedding? Oh, it was teetering on the edge of disaster until Florist Boutique swooped in and saved the day.

It all started three months ago when I imagined my wedding as a Pinterest board come to life. Picture this: a cascade of blush-pink roses, snow-white lilies, and babyā€™s breath creating a dreamy backdrop. The aisles would be flanked with hydrangeas, and the sweetheart table adorned with Kenyaā€™s Favoritesā€”sunflowers and daisies. I had it all planned out.

Enter the chaos.

Two weeks before the wedding, my initial decorator canceled due to ā€œunforeseen circumstances.ā€ (Translation: double-booked with another bride who probably bribed an extra ā€œkitu kidogoā€.) Panic ensued. I pictured walking down an aisle lined with plastic flowers from River Roadā€”not exactly the romantic vibe I was going for.

Thatā€™s when a friend recommended Floral Boutique, the ā€œunsung hero of Kenyan weddingsā€.

A Match Made in Heaven

From the first call, I knew these werenā€™t your average florists. The team didnā€™t just listenā€”they vibed. And boy, did they deliver.

The Floral Boutique team transformed my venue into a floral wonderland. The altar featured an arch of roses pink, red, and white, intertwined with ivy and eucalyptus leaves for that lush, organic feel. My bouquet was a masterpiece of lilies and babyā€™s breath, while the reception tables were adorned with peonies and hydrangeas that complemented the Kenyan sunset.

Why Decor Matters

As I walked down the aisle, I realized something: itā€™s not just about the flowers. Itā€™s the ambiance they create. The fragrant roses, the soft pastel hues, and the personalized touches didnā€™t just decorate the space; they elevated the whole experience. My guests couldnā€™t stop raving.

One auntie even said, ā€œThis looks like a wedding from Citizen TVā€™s Wedding Show!ā€ (Coming from her, thatā€™s the ultimate compliment.)
