A wedding planner told me to skip the baby's breath filler, and I'm glad I listened
I was setting up for a big wedding at the Grandview Hotel last Saturday and the planner, Sarah, pointed at my buckets. She said, 'Logan, you know that baby's breath is just filler, right? It makes a big arrangement look cheap.' I've used it for years to fill space and keep costs down, so I was ready to argue. But she showed me her phone with pictures from a wedding the month before, where they used only five kinds of flowers but in huge, loose groups. It looked full and rich, not empty. I tried it with the centerpieces, using just garden roses, ranunculus, and some olive branches. The bouquets looked way more expensive, and the couple loved them. I think I was just stuck in my old ways from working at the chain flower shop. Has anyone else moved away from using a ton of filler flowers and found it works better?
