Today I went with my Mom and Sister to Floral Emporium II in Neptune Beach, FL to pick out the flowers for the wedding. My sister’s friend, Liz, had used them for her wedding and raved about them so I knew I had to go check it out! I had a vague idea of what I wanted for bouquets, boutinerries, centerpieces, etc. I actually brought in a picture of the bouquet I wanted which is all white flowers (hydrangea, roses) and they are going to re-create it! Playing off of the same idea, I am going to have the bridesmaid bouquets very similar, but slightly smaller and with yellow roses tucked in the white hydrangea. Since the bridesmaids are wearing navy blue dresses, I think the white flowers, with a pop of yellow will look so pretty! The groomsman boutinerries are very simple, I think Jeremy will have a white rose, and the groomsman will have a yellow rose. I’m not too big on a bunch of colors for a wedding, because I think it looks best when it is simple and understated.
Now for the centerpieces for the wedding, I didn’t want to go too crazy and expensive, because I know people won’t remember the centerpieces at all. (but they will remember that open bar!!!) So call me crazy, but I saw some of the most beautiful centerpieces of baby’s breath! Now, I know it is just considered filler flower, but when bunched and put in a tall vase, the look is so beautiful and romantic! So I am going to have them in tall vases with navy blue marbles and some LED lights in them. I have added some pictures below of the bouquets I have chosen and the centerpieces I have picked out!
yummm!! We opened presents soon after, and boy we must have been good this year!
