Flowers... Flowers..... Flowers!

When we first began planning our wedding.... I said... "No, I don't really care about flowers, they seem over priced and they just end up dying." But............. when I started looking at pictures of centerpieces and bouquets, I knew it was something that I would regret not having. Therefore, as a budgeting compromise, I will be "DIY"ing the flowers. Since we don't have a large bridal party the main arrangements will be for the tables. Franklin Plaza provides candleaubras (probably not spelled right) for is to use so we will utilize them!

Trevor's fraternity's official flower is the White Rose, hence in collage we attended the "White Rose Formal" every fall. So, because of this Trevor said we could get flowers, so I'm going white rose crazy the Thursday/ Friday before the wedding.

I'll probably whip one of these up:


And for the candleaubras, I'll decorate them like the Donald did:


Yeah right, I'm no Martha Stewart. However, I do like the simple, compactness (probably not a real word) of this design.


Anyways, I'm going to order the flowers from a wholesaler online and arrange them myself. I'm thinking white and cream colored roses in a simple glass vase for the low centerpeices, and then a small compact bouquet type arrangement in the higher candelaubras. In any event it should be a lovely frustrating DIY task that I will love. :)
