My flowers have gone through so many changes since I started planning, it's honestly kind of funny.

First, I was going to DIY.  But I vetoed that idea.

So then I ordered flowers from an online retailer that "specializes" in silk flowers.  I spent almost $900, and waited 8 months to come in.  And they sucked.  Absolutely sucked.  If you'd like more information about that vendor and why I was so displeased, please feel free to e-mail me.

So I met with some real florists, and I'm really excited for how they will turn out for our wedding!

Bride's Bouquet

Picture
I am absolutely in love with this bouquet.  The only things that I am changing is adding some rhinestone sprays, the stems won't stick out so far from under the ribbon, and it'll have a rhinestone buckle.

Groom's Boutonniere

Burgundy calla lily with a rhinestone spray.

Bridesmaid's Bouquets

Picture
No greenery, but with clear rhinestone sprays scattered throughout.  The ribbon wrap will be black with a rhinestone buckle.

Groomsmen's Boutonnieres

It's just going to be a white calla lily with a rhinestone spray.

Parent's Flowers

Picture
Similar concept, but made with smaller open roses rather than just one huge open rose
Picture
Without the curly thing, and the pearl things will be replaced with bent bullion wire like the mom's corsages

Grandparent's Flowers

Picture
Just some white roses and silver ribbon
Picture
Just a plain white rose, none of this decorative stuff
