Bouquets, boutonnieres and more

Recently I spoke with my florist friend about some ideas for the wedding initially we planned on hydrangeas, orchids and peonies. Lately I've been falling in love with carnations and babys breath both are very affordable (YIPPEE) and to my surprise beautiful. Here are some more bouquets, boutonnieres and other stuff I'm considering.

Since the wedding is in May I like the idea of having baby's breath included in the floral scheme, it reminds me of buds

Centerpieces, Centerpieces

For the past few months I've been thinking about what flowers were going to use as centerpieces. Originally I wanted blue hydrangeas with orchids but lately I've been thinking about the price tag that will carry. So I've been looking into more affordable flowers (they are a must for me, I love flowers) like carnations and roses. I plan to have a few hydrangeas here and there in the centerpieces but not as much as originally planned.

I always associated carnations with funerals and would never think of using them for a wedding but I keep seeing these beautiful pics of bunches of carnations that are stunning. And roses are not my favorite, maybe because they are so common and I try not to follow the crowd. I found this pic and absolutely love how full it is. It's made up of carnations, white roses and babys breath this one is in the lead as of now.

Flowers

I must admit I'm one of the luckiest brides. Why you ask? Because I have friends with some serious talent I have a friend who's a DJ, another who owns his own car service (for my limo), a friend of the family who has know me from day one who is my coordinator and my friend who is a florist.

I have to meet with my friend soon to discuss flowers. We met with her a few months back and discussed some options. Now that we are getting closer I want to explore some more options. One thing that will not change are my peonies!!! I want a bouquet full of beautiful peonies :)
