2024 Update: I bought flowers every week from the farm stand at $10 a bunch--I had several options/varieties/colors to chose from--I could match my flowers to my mood!

He then set the arrangements for the ceremony, guest tables, bars, etc. We rented the white table vases from him as well. Overall, it was such a beautiful and fun process of working with Rock River. And, I am overjoyed about the way the...
