We had an autumn-themed wedding, and wanted to avoid flowers because the groom is allergic to most plants. We talked to ten florists, and only one was able to listen to our request to avoid flowers. While nine florists immediately told us how they would pick hypoallergenic flowers or cut out the allergenic parts, Toni-Lisa Gaglione at Amoré listened to us. We sent her our ideas, and she showed us other ideas on the same theme that made it clear that she was listening and understanding us. We ended up giving her only vague guidelines, and she did an outstanding job: our guests commented on the beautiful centerpieces, the bride’s bouquet was gorgeous, the boutonnieres/corsages for the wedding party were tasteful and elegant. We did end up using a few silk flowers (especially in the bride’s bouquet), and they looked and felt so real that a few guests had to smell them to believe they were silk! Because we didn’t use real flowers, we were able to rent the centerpieces, and only paid about half of what we had originally budgeted for décor. And again because we didn’t use real flowers, the boutonnieres and bride’s bouquet will last forever! The whole time we worked with her, Toni-Lisa radiated calm and competence, and made the process very easy for us. We heartily recommend Toni-Lisa Gaglione and Amoré!
