The Bridal Bouquet

A tight budget breeds ingenuity, and Soyeon and Alec were determined to make the most out of their limited finances by using a personal touch. Thursday before the wedding, the bride and her two maids of honor hit the San Francisco Flower Mart at five in the morning to hand-select the freshest flowers available. They picked enough blooms, including white amaryllis and tulips, for the bouquets, boutonnieres, and all of the ceremony and reception decorations. The next day, the amateur florists, along with the bride's family, carefully arranged everything. The flowers were a labor of love, Alec says, but I must say they did an awesome job!
