Flourish Friday

So today is all about my flower girls! When Joey and I first got engaged, flower girl baskets were the first thing I purchased. Unfortunately at that time we were planning an outside wedding so around Easter time I had bought white whicker baskets.

But now our plans have changed. Our wedding is a lot more formal and is inside so my whicker baskets really no longer work. So I have been looking for the right basket that isn't too expensive because remind you I have 4 flower girls! So even if I found some for $20 it would cost me over $80 for flower girl baskets.

I happened to run across this basket on The Wedding Outlet. I absoultely love the pearl handles and the best thing is its only $8.95each! I showed Joey to see what he thought and he also loved it and thought it was very classy.



To go along with the flower girl baskets I also came across these white hydrangea flower girl petals on Advantage Bridal.com. They are perfect since my flowers are hydrangeas and tulips. And they are on sale for $9.95.

I will be purchasing these items next week! So exciting! Can't wait to show my flower girls!

Tisk Task Tuesday

Countdown: 242 days

I had a very productive wedding weekend. I bought the other three zippers I was looking for and I went to High Fashion and bought my bridal loops that I needed for my wedding dress. I also had my two appointments with florists this weekend and I went with my foster mom. We chose to go with Sarah's Florist for the flowers for the wedding party. Chuck was very helpful and gave us a lot of advice.

The groom, 7 groomsmen, 3 ushers and 1 ring bear will be wearing hydrangea boutonnieres. The bridesmaids will be carrying a "salad plate size" bouquet of blue hydrangeas and I will be carrying a "dinner plate size" bouquet of blue hydrangeas with about 15 white tulips. Just to let you know hydrangeas are not cheap nor are flowers for such a large wedding party.

We are really excited though and cant wait to see the final product. Just in case you were wondering our location the Ayva Center is doing the flowers for everything else.

Flourish Friday

So tomorrow I have two appointments with florists to get a better idea of the flowers I want for the wedding and get some prices.

Here's what I'm thinking for my bridal bouquet. Tulips with a ball or two of blue hydrangeas.

Flourish Friday

It is time for me to start thinking about the kind of flowers I want for my wedding. Since it is taking place in the Spring I do want seasonal flowers. I have a few that I have in mind. I love tulips, calla lilies, hydrangeas and orchids.

On Fridays I will be sharing a picture of a bouquet or centerpiece flowers that I really like. This week I chose a bouquet of white mini calla lilies with a pearl wrap around the stems. Just classic!
