Flowers Update

So we were going to get the flowers from an online vendor who is absolutely fantastic. The flowers look so real, but the price was a bit expensive, and we are at that time where we are trying to cut costs where we can. So Nick was talking to his friend a couple months back and he mentioned that his wife does flowers. We already had a vendor, but never kept her out of our mind. So the other weekend we went over to Nicki and John's house to see her portfolio and talk. Well long story short she is going to do the flowers, and it will probably save us about $1000 (my estimate) if not more! How could we say no?! I mean the flowers probably aren't going to be as high quality as the ones from the internet, but I told her I want them to look as real as possible with a reasonable price tag, and she's all for it! We are SOOOOO happy we found her!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Centerpiece/Favors

So let me explain this a little bit. The centerpieces are made up of 9 square budvases. There will be 8 persons at each table. Each of the budvases will be etched with a poem written by Nick and I on one side, and a Monogram-thingy on another side. They are serving as both centerpieces and favors (because well, let's face it...people usually take the centerpieces too). So this way it kills two birds with one stone, looks good, and is functional. Now to explain the pictures...some of the centerpieces will be together some apart (as shown) [this is still debatable though], and some of the centerpieces will match the bridesmaid bouquets (example shown) and some will have three *WHITE* calla lillies (not like the pink shown).


I know it's stunning with the calendar backdrop! Be expecting that at the wedding too...Every table with their own HUGE calendar, because we never want you to forget what day it is :)

Here is what the bridesmaid flowers should look like:
I am going to carry a Calla Lilly bouquet (my FAV. flower in case you didn't know already). I'm not sure if they will be white or pink callas though.
