'Beyonce Knowles & Jay-Z's Wedding Was Like Heaven'

The wedding of Beyonce Knowles and Jay-Z was a glamourous event, with the couple adorning their reception location with dozens of flowers and luxury garlands imported from Thailand especially.

Amy Vongpitaka, florist for the special occasion revealed she only had one week’s notice to adorn Jay-Z’s apartment with orchids ready for the party.

However, despite the short timeframe, she decorated the venue exquisitely. She tells Us magazine: "It made the apartment like a heaven, like a palace."

The newlyweds also ordered lots of foot-long garlands to drape around the $8 million, 9,000-square-foot apartment.

"Beyonce requested the specific look of the bloom," Vongpitaka revealed. "You know in a palace where things hang down from a chandelier, that's what they tried to do with the flowers.

"You walked in, and it was all flowers — everything white and creamy. It made Beyoncé look special."

Vongpitaka admitted that 100 workers cut orchids at a Thailand to ensure Beyonce got the flowers how she wanted, and a total of nearly 200 people worked on the job.

Nearly 100,000 orchids came from Thailand "because for celebrities you have to pick the best ones," she says.

The day before the wedding, "I heard Beyoncé was thrilled," Vongpitaka says. "I know she's so happy with this wedding."

Vongpitaka added of the happy couple: "They're a great match!"
