Hmm, what about flowers? Well, first off flowers are beautiful, i love having them, I love getting them as a gifst, I love when Jordan suprises me with flowers, I also love having them in the garden (they'll be there eventually) and I really like watching them grow etc. They're great.
What I'm looking at now are wedding flowers. Wedding flowers are really pretty! Here's some ones I thought were pretty...
I love the grey and white here!
I like these other two because they're not too dramatic, they're also in colors I like...But what the heck why are they so dang expensive? I just don't get it, when I go grocery shopping and the flowers catch my eye I have to reason with myself why I should spend $7 on a bouquet I really like. We complain at valentine's day because roses are $20 a dozen.
So how come when is comes time to pay for a wedding are bouquets suddenly $30, $40, $50, $60 per bouquet!?! Let's be realistic for a sec most of these bouquets aren't even going to be around for a week, they're going to get left somewhere, lost, and thrown in the garbage by the night is over. At least my $7 bouquet I have around for a couple weeks...
And yes I know, all these flourists are telling me to preserve my bouquet and use it another time as a centerpiece or something. But I'm still paying an arm and a leg for the bridemaid bouquets. So that's my dillemma I can't reason enough with myself to spend $300 or more on flowers, they're really pretty but I'd rather get pretty flowers for $7 a bouquet.
Look at all those pretty grocery store flowers :)
I'm sure those will be perfect!
How about you, do you have any suggestions? Do you have any expiriences or advice? What did you do for your own wedding?
