So, the story goes something like this...
I wanted to make a vendor list to give to my clients. As I was coming up with my "dream team", I thought of Scottwood Floral. They had done the flowers for both of my sister's weddings and for my mom's funeral. I remembered the flowers from all three and how much I had loved them. So, I wanted to put Scott and his business on my list. However, as the working relationship is almost as important as the product, I wanted the experience of working with Scottwood so I could tell my clients, "Hey, I've worked with them, and they're fantastic!"
I'll tell you this...I've never been a bride, but I've been a bridesmaid 15 times and counting...and I'm telling you, your vendors are important. I decided that I wanted to invest in vendors that I really believed in...and doing what I could to help make their business even more of a success. I knew that I believed in Scottwood Floral and the work they do, but I wasn't sure how Scott (the owner) would respond to my offer of taking update images for his website. He could be excited or he could be offended...just as I had hoped, he was excited.
I can't even tell you how excited I am to have gotten to take pictures for him. Whether you are a bride or not, you'd have fun visiting SCOTTWOOD FLORAL (Eureka, IL). I'm serious. They do so much more than fresh flowers...I told someone, that I would like to vacation there...yep. For a week. I'd set my little ol' self down in one of those chairs and drink a cup of coffee. It almost feels like you're at a really good smelling, beautiful spa. As soon as you walk in, the beautiful music and the atmosphere just make you want to stay...for-ever! :)
Yeah, yeah...you remember my post about me being over-dramatic, but trust me...you wouldn't regret the trip there!!! And for all of my out-of-state and international readers (yep, I know about you!)...if you're ever in the area...let me know and we can grab some coffee there. :)
Scott made me a cup of coffee to drink...it was YUM!!!...I've done my best to cut coffee out of my life, but this was definitely worth the exception I made. :)
I was loving all the little decorating details they had.
I kept thinking how great of a place for a guy to shop for his wife or girlfriend, 'cause it's a one-stop deal: flowers, cards, candy, coffee, and decorations. 
I was a little bit obsessed with this bird-feeder...I think I may be going back to buy it for myself!
I think I should say that I'm not sponsored by Scottwood Floral in any way...I am just loving the store and was super excited to share the lovliness of it all!!
