Casey and I met with Nona at Floral Design Studio in Fremont after work today. I heard great things about her so I was very excited to see what she had to offer.
It turned out to be a mixed bag. She was VERY nice and energetic........had great ideas, and wanted to show examples/pictures of everything. I felt very comfortable telling her what I wanted, or thought I would want.
However, budget wise, she came out around the same as The Flower House. There were some things that she offered that The Flower House didn't and vise versa........so I'm still not sure. I really like the look of the flowers that Nona described, and I could definitely see myself more comfortable with her, because I'm sure that I might end up changing my mind a couple times. Have you met me within the past few months? I can't decided on anything.
Nona did have some great tips, and even brought out a manzanita branch VERY similar to what I am going for......which was great for Casey. He had no idea what look I was trying to achieve. She even showed me how to make your own hanging votives with a glass votive, some ribbon and hot glue. MUCH cheaper than the $2 ones I found on the internet I think..........although I guess I'll have to factor it out.
More to ponder I guess.
