Flowermania

Hello....! I haven't posted in quite a while, and I've been missing it, but I've have been crazy busy! So, I'm gonna post later on that but right now on my mind, nagging the back of my mind is fllloooowerrs

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?
