Guys, low key freaking out because my favorite grocery store is sponsoring this post. Thank you Albertsons, Market Street and Tom Thumb for sponsoring this post but like always, all opinions are my own.
I like to be ahead of the curve. Before trying a new restaurant, I spend quite some time on Yelp looking at pics of the entrees so I know exactly what I want. Before buying my favorite fitness tops from Lululemon, I’ll check Ebay just to make sure no one is selling for a better deal and after buying a flight, I’ll call back once a week to make sure the prices haven’t gone down (Southwest reimburses you the difference if the flight you purchased goes down!) And…now I am the type of girl who went to a bridal show, before even being engaged. Why should I treat getting married and prepping for a wedding any differently!?
I’ll give you the lowdown. J and I have been dating for 3 years now and let’s be real, I know he is my person.*Swoon* When ya know, ya know, and we talk about engagement and weddings like it’s our favorite pastime because unless God has some crazy plan up his sleeve, marrying Jordan is inevitable. Jordan has asked me to go look at rings twice and for now, it’s just a waiting game (little did I know…)
Jordan and I went to the Dallas Bridal Show a few Saturdays ago. Over 300 vendors representing wedding venues, planners, videographers, makeup artists, florists, and even local Albertsons, Tom Thumb and Market Street lined the Dallas Market Hall. I never had a sister growing up and this whole wedding planning thing is pretty overwhelming.
My first stop at the Dallas Bridal Show was a meet and greet with floral designer, Debi Lilly, who is the creative force behind debi lilly design™, which is available in the Dallas area exclusively at your local Albertsons, Market Street and Thumb Thumb stores. Debi’s clientele includes Oprah, Lady Gaga, The Obamas and the list goes on and on. You would NOT be surprised if you would have met this amazing woman in person! The Albertsons, Tom Thumb and Market Street setup was absolutely stunning and once I was able to chat with Debi, I couldn’t help but admire every part of her personal story, ambition, and sweet spirit! Total #girlboss. I’ve decided I want to be Debi when I grow up. 🙂 We put together a couple of floral arrangements that I was actually able to take and enjoy at home. We also discussed four floral trends for weddings in 2017. Lilac, all white, colorful pops of coral, and lots of greenery.
Here’s the BEST part. Debi wants everyone to be able to experience her little taste of luxury so Debi Lilly has a collection of floral arrangements and décor products sold in Dallas exclusively at your local Albertsons, Market Street and Tom Thumb, and they are TOTALLY affordable! Also, she just launched a new wedding collection that is customizable; it’s like you can be your own florist! Something about having fresh blooms at home makes me feel so happy. It’s the little things in life!
I can find debi lilly design floral and décor at my local Albertsons, Market Street or Tom Thumb, and you can find in your area at any Albertsons Companies family of stores, including Safeway, ACME Markets, Jewel-Osco, Vons, Pavilions, Randalls, Shaw’s, Star Market, United Supermarkets, Albertsons Market and Carrs/Safeway.
I wanted to share a little but about each of the 4 gorgeous collections. They are all so special and unique, at the end of the day, you can’t go wrong with any of them. Getting some major floral inspo for my own wedding!
White Collection – Always in style— classic, romantic neutrals in whites, ivories and champagnes, have never been hotter.
Wildflower Collection – Bright pops of color through flowers from the field, with happy, fun florals and accents.
Lavender Collection – The blush/lavender trend has never been bigger, adding the soft, smoky palette of 2018.
Greenery Collection –The Pantone color of the Year— greens and textures are all the rage for bouquets, tables and parties.
Debi also showed me how to put my own touch on the debi lilly design arrangements by adding greenery and pairing flowers so you can customize them even more. You can do the same thing with the florists at your local Albertsons, Tom Thumb and Market Street store! Scroll down to see a recap of my time with Debi and her gorgeous blooms!
