Well with this being my first post, I was trying to determine what I should post about first. Then it dawned on me... FLOWERS! I know you are asking yourself "why flowers". My answer is because this is what I am struggling with at the moment!! People don't realize how important it is not to make snap decisions when planning your wedding. Your wedding is a very special and important day. Every decision needs to be made with a clear mind. Also, remember that picures will be taken and you will have to live with every decision you make FOREVERRRR....
Okay, so moving on. The first thing I have to decide is a theme??? Okay it's "A Tropical Romance". Secondly do I want real or silk flowers? I'll take real. Now, the most important question..Whats' my budget? Yikes!!! I don't know? I have about 25 tables that need centerpieces, will this budget include bridesmaids bouquet's, bouts, coursages and decor for the church??$500, $800, or $1,500.00? I just don't know. So with all these questions that have to be answered, it's important to do some research. Make decisions and try to stick with them!
Think outside the box. My suggestion is instead of going to a traditional florists, visit your local farmers market, research and find licensed florists that work out of their homes. Visit your nearest Costco or Sam's Club (they sell flowers in bulk).
Grocery food stores like Krogers have a wonderful floral display with amazing prices (ie. if i decide to go with the floral manager at my local Krogers, my bridesmaids bouquet's will be about $14 a piece!!!). I know right, that price can't be beat!!I'
Future DIY plans:
I'll buy a bouquet of roses, wrap some beautiful ribbon around the stems and take a photo..give me a few days and I will come back with pics!! Good Luck with your floral selection!!
