Our florist search today was successful! We found one in Carlsbad, for 15 minutes west of where we live and about 15 minutes north of where we will be getting married. The shop is called “Ohana Creations” so yes they do specialized in tropical and Hawaiian flowers.




I was trilled to hear the florist say that there was no problem doing what we wanted and that she could do it for all under $200. My goal of staying under $2,000 is going quite well. She was really nice and informative about different ideas for flowers and when we would need to come in and get the order started.



Here’s a picture of an example of the lei Robert wants, he wants it with plumeria and not orchids like in the picture. It’s called a Ti Leaf Lei, the leaves are twisted together with the flowers.

I’m looking for a bouquet with plumerias, orchids and bougainvillea. It should be really pretty! Kind of like this one but with the classic white and yello plumerias and white orcids. I really like the shape it gets with the different flowers and of course it will smell amazing with the plumeria.

Next on the list is cake. Of course Robert is excited about the tasting! Have a great weekend!
