Our Wedding - Bouquets

I know I said my next post was going to be about the reception decor, but I just realized that I forgot to show you the bouquets.


J & I each had white bouquets. I went back and forth for a while deciding if I wanted a dark wine colored rose & calla bouquet or if I should carry a white bouquet. In the end I decided to go light since I didn't want such a stark contrast between us. My bouquet consisted of white dahlias, scented geranium & white roses and J's was lily of the valley and white roses.

We both had charms hanging from our bouquets to remember our loved ones who had passed. I had 3 charms...one for my grandmother, one for my best friend, and another for J's father.

And J had two...one for her Dad and another for our best friend. It was a nice way to remember them.

Our attendants held wine colored bouquets. Honestly I didn't have a chance to see them until the wedding...for some reason they weren't included in our flower sample. I might have changed them somewhat if I had a chance to preview them but I guess they turned out ok.

And our flower girl had a flower hair wreath...her mother wanted her to wear one so we were sure to honor her wish. And she carried pink petals in a basket in memory of her mom.

Next up for real this time is reception decor!

Dreaming of a White Wedding

Happy Monday! We got a lot accomplished this weekend so I'm feeling pretty good today. We made the bouquet charms, spray painted the frames that we're going to put the table names in gold, tied all of the flip flops in burgundy & teal ribbon & glued aqua swarovski crystals onto the burgundy escort cards. Not bad, not bad. And tonight is a big night because we have the flower sample and we'll finalize the linens. I've been waiting for this for months!

Unfortunately, we missed another gorgeous beach weekend because we were so busy with wedding tasks again. And I just keep findind myself wishing the summer away. It's got me thinking that maybe we should have planned a winter wedding so we could have enjoyed the summer. It's our favorite time of year after all. But what's done is done and it's almost here and it's gonna be amazing!

Check back tomorrow for more engagement pix!
