our wedding: flowers

we decided to save $ by doing all the flowers for our wedding ourselves!

i pulled tear sheets of ideas for months - and worked with a fantastic wholesaler in town (import flowers). after the rehearsal dinner, we went to town! so thankful for my best friend laura, sister leigh, mom and fantastic groom who worked their tails off.

i think the flowers turned out perfect ...

here's what we ordered and how it was used:

• mason jars for the ceremony - 3 white hydrangea + 1 white football mum and lavender
  
• boutonnieres - a sprig of boxwood from wade's parents house wrapped w/ twine
  
• bouquets - a wild mix of phoebe roses, antique green hydrangea, white ranunculus, light pink hypericum, misty blue, bullit allium, gunni eucalyptus, italian ruscus & boxwood all wrapped again in twine
• corsages - white ranunculus
• flower girl crown - lavender
  
• centerpieces - sheet moss + 2 white hydrangea and 1 green hydrangea in a mason jar

in total we spent about $650 buckaroos - but we made 7 ceremony mason jars, 9 boutonnieres, 5 bridesmaid bouquets, 1 flower girl crown, 1 bouquet for me, 6 corsages, and 26 centerpieces ... and we had plenty of left overs which were scattered around the reception in random jars & buckets. a pretty sweet deal!

need to save a pretty penny for your own wedding? you can do it. we did!
