Wedding Flowers

We ordered flowers for the big day.

We decided to bulk order garden roses from FiftyFlowers.com. We'll use garden roses in the bridal bouquet, in the mother corsages, and as centerpieces at the reception. We chose these Yves Piaget Peony Roses and ordered 12 dozen of them:



About two days before the wedding, we'll visit some local florists and choose the rest of the flowers we need--something from which to make boutonnieres as well as a different type of flower for each bridesmaid's bouquet.

I'm thinking all the ladies (including myself) will carry bouquets composed of a single type of flower. We'll use various shades of pink. Maybe Madison will carry Gerbera daisies, Elsie will carry spider mums, and Leigh will carry hyacinths. At least that's how I picture it in my mind. Who knows what we'll find when we go to buy these flowers? I like the potential spontaneity of it.
