oh the flowers...

On Thursday, we went to order the flowers for the BIG day...

...which is less than two weeks away. Wowee!

Let me tell you, it was a looooong morning there at the flower shop.

Luckily, my mom's florist friend is doing the flowers for our wedding and she was there to sort, gather, pick, and bunch the flowers together.

Then she ordered a million and one flowers for the wedding.

...it was a million and one dollars, too. Ouch. Sorry mom and dad.

Anyway, we got the inspiration for the flowers from a wedding that is our inspiration for basically my entire wedding. It was a wedding to die for...literally with all the money that went into it..so we are going to try and replicate it to the best of our ability with our budget. Here's what the flowers looked like:

For our wedding, we will have a crate filled with flowers and two to four small mason jars of flowers on each table. It will be just grand!

My mom's florist friend ordering the flowers in her winter parka--it was freezing in there!!

LOTS of flowers...

Here are some coffee bean berries, which will be in the boutonnieres.

These are "billy-bob" flowers and I love them oh so much! They add the pop of color that we want in the flowers and we are using these with a coffee bean berry for the mens' boutonnieres. Ow ow!!

The China Mum: these will be the main flower in my bouquet. They are giant and just beautiful!

They will be paired with some billy-bob flowers, some pink roses, and some of the flowers below.

These flowers will be sparsely throughout the flowers on the tables and in my bouquet because they are pretty pricey, but just lovely! Wouldn't you say? I just adore them!

Beautiful roses we will use with the perfect hint of pink in them.
