After our PS we did our floral with Laura. I was nervous for this part because I had a specific vision in mind and a very tight budget. Well as soon as Laura and I started talking about what I was thinking she got my vision and had the same ideas even before I showed her pictures. Sorry about the large pictures I am still figuring photobucket out!
This is the bouquet idea. We are taking out the orchids because Laura said they would be really expensive and instead doing a mix of white roses, hydrangias and white tulips with the feathers. It will be wrapped in lace from my mom's wedding gown and have a few crystal mickeys. In the middle of the wrapped stem will be a blue starfish to represent my something blue.
For the centerpieces, I wanted the eiffle tower vases with feathers coming out. Laura said that the eiffle tower vase is hard to balance and would be easily knocked over so we went with a bigger vase, filled with pink gel and white LED lights. Around the base will be votive candle holders with the gel and LED lights. Here's the too-skinny vases but the look will be the same!
We are having a small alter arrangement with the same flowers as my bouquet with a few feathers. The groomsmen are wearing pink rose bouts and the bridesmaids are carrying small bouquets with pink roses and hydrangias. Kevin's bout will be a white rose with (hopefully) a little feather. He's still putting up a fuss about the feather! We're doing a winebox love letter ceremony instead of unity candle/sand. Only instead of opening it every 5 years which is tradition, we're going to write a new letter to each other each year and on our anniversary we will drink the wine, read our letters and replace them with the new ones then lock the box until the next year!
We are also doing white chair covers with pink sashes and pink napkins with black bows. We are using the standard white linens for the tables. I was really excited when we went over the lighting package because we are putting a light pink coach on the dance floor in addition to the castle/fireworks behind us and it wasn't any extra! Woo hoo!!!!!
