So, this PM I met with the florist that had been recommended to me. I was told she does the most ''interesting'' work in town and sure enough when I showed up, there was a slightly punky lady with a big armband tatoo and a shop full of extremely cool florals (think moss, sculptural twigs... curly kale (yum!)

She said the owner is very traditional, but has let her hype up the ''we do funky flowers!'' thing which has given them a niche.

I sat down with her and showed her the dress and pics of the venue and said ''What can you do that would be REALLY WACKY!'' so she got all excited that someone was going to let her do her thang, with minimal interference. She''s my own personal flower artiste! Trained originally in haute couture. She asked me to trust her, which I''m totally willing to do. But she also asked me to send her pics of things that I like so that she can get more of a sense of my taste.

So, ladies, I''m asking you: have you seen pics of extremely unusual bouquets? Especially if they incorporate things that aren''t normally in bouquets? (like, say, feathers? curly kale? ahhhh... anything else?)

I''m thrilled with her so far. We really hit it off. Plus she sent me off with a bouquet of purple somethingorothers for my Grammy free of charge.
