When I chose my wedding flowers, I wanted something that would be more than just a wedding decoration. I wanted a bouquet that would speak to me and that would make me feel like there was a real connection between the romanticism of the occasion and the wedding flowers themselves. That is when I discovered that wedding arrangements do have some sort of personality, which is often given by the floral designer that created them in the first place. Because of that, I decided to chat with our senior floral designer, Leyla Guido, who shared with me some interesting aspects of one of our best seller flower sets, the Mini Callas Collection.
