flowers

after seeing my wedding dress, my mom thinks we need to make some adjustments to our flower plans. originally, we were thinking of doing a bright colorful bouquet. but after some discussion, she pointed out that a bright bouquet would compete with my dress....and she is SO right. so to a degree, we are back at square one regarding flowers. kinda. i think mom's helped me figure out what kinds of flowers i like (and i actually know the names of them now, thanks to her - my mom is an awesome gardener and knows all of this stuff). so here's some bouquets that are in neutral tones, but still quite beautiful (all images from the knot):

sweet peas!

roses & calla lillies - i'm not huge on roses, but i really like this pale ivory pink color

i like the pale green hydrangeas

mini calla lilies, ranunculus, and orchids

peonies & lily of the valley

peonies! this one is my favorite :)

these flowers are drastically different from what i was looking at before (here and here) but when you see my dress, you'll understand why the change was necessary! what do you think?

more bouquets

here's some more from the knot. can you tell i like bright colors? :)

bouquets...

now that big huge important things are secured, such as the wedding & reception venue, food, cake, and dj....on to more fun stuff. like flowers! i'm not going to go crazy with flowers everywhere but a few would be nice. here's some pics i found on the knot (which don't match the wedding colors at all - oh well)...any thoughts?

surprise at work

i received a mystery phone call right after lunch today:
"hello?"
"is this stephanie?"
"yes."
"do you work for the *insert business name here*?
"umm who is this?"
the caller then immediately launched into an explanation for the phone call....he was a delivery guy. for this:



seriously?! flowers!! how awesome is that? i was completely surprised. bfff did good :)

surprise!

look what i got! what a nice surprise!
