I found a seller on eBay who does custom orders for floral. She specializes in "real touch" flowers. They look and feel real but they're silk. It's the best grade of silk out there. I'll be using roses and stephanotis. Here's a list of what I'll be ordering:
- Bouquet (1)
$105

On to the pics of my ideas:
CEREMONY DECOR
I want the pews swaged so I want floral in this style with red roses instead of purple ones. I'll have 1 one each side for immediate family.
I'll have the pew decor and an aisle runner.
BOUQUETS
I like the bouquet on the top just the way it is. I’d just like it to be hand-tied like the one on the bottom only with a white handle and red ribbons instead of pink ones. I really love the pearl at each cross of the handle. I’d like:
- 1 Bride’s bouquet can be 2 dozen red roses and some random white stephanotis
- 1 MOH bouquet can be 1 dozen white roses and some random white stephanotis
- 1 BM bouquet can be 6 white roses and some random white stephanotis
- 1 Toss bouquet can be just a rose wand with 3 red roses
The attendant’s bouquets can be white handles with white ribbons in the same manner as the picture above on the right.
I bought 106 clear bicone crystals for the bouquets, boutonnieres, and corsages that I bought off eBay for cheap that I’m hoping to use up too.
I also have 4 deceased family members that I’d like to put in charms and get them hung from my bouquet handle like above so they’ll “be with me” on my wedding day.
BOUTONNIERES
So I love the rose boutonniere on the top. The fact that it is 2 open ones and 3 rose buds in front. Of course I’d like the roses to be red and not orange. My fiancé is in love with the style of boutonniere on the bottom (the way it’s “tied” - curly-q and all) - Thanks Carrie. I’d like:
- 1 Grooms boutonniere can be with 2 open red roses with 3 red rosebuds
- 1 BM boutonniere can be with 1 open red rose with 3 red rosebuds
- 1 GM boutonniere can be with 1 open red rose with 1 rosebud
- 2 Fathers boutonnieres can be with 1 open white rose with 3 rosebuds
- 2 Grandfathers boutonnieres can be with 1 open white rose
The attendant’s boutonnieres can be “tied” in the same manner as the picture above on the bottom. I’d like it a crystal on each boutonniere.
CORSAGES
I like the corsage in the picture above. I’m not so sure about the huge green leaves sticking out the sides though – maybe smaller green ones? I’d like the corsages to be made with white roses and make them wrist ones. I hate the pin-on ones. I’d like:
- 2 Mothers wrist corsages can be with 1 white open rose and 3 white rosebuds
- 2 Grandmothers wrist corsages can be with 1 white open rose
I’d like a crystal on each corsage.
CENTERPIECES
I love both of these centerpieces although we can’t make up our minds. If I decide to go with the one on the top I’d like a couple red and white roses with random stephanotis and nice filler. I’d like to use the “flowers on sticks” too if possible. I don’t know what they’re called.
If I decide to go with the one on the bottom I’d like 3 white and 3 red roses with random stephanotis. I want it short enough so that my guests wouldn’t have to look around the centerpiece to talk to each other.
Which one do you like best?
HAIR FLORAL
I’d like 1 red medium-sized open rose and 3 small red rosebuds on a hair comb.
Total = $525.50
