To assist you in your vendor selections, we have decided to start featuring some of our favorite vendors. These are vendors we have worked with, and trust. Just because a vendor fits your budget does not guarantee a match in style and professional personality. Building an ideal Wedding Team means prudently selecting vendors who will work together to create an event just for you.
We start this special edition blog post featuring one of our favorites: Courtyard Flowers.
In case the name doesn't give it away, this Signature Vendor is a Wedding Floral Specialist. Take a gander at our interview with the owner, Katie Trost. She's excellent at what she does and has often shocked me and my clients (in a good way) with the wonderful way she's able to take an example photograph and bring it to life with such elegance.
