Gail & Ian's PJ - 9/7/09 WP, CG Napa & UK - WEDDING DAY TR STARTED!!

So I've decided what I'm doing for flowers. I got a proposal today and it's $725 for everything including delivery. I'm using gerbera daisies, spider mums, football mums, and hypericum berries to accent.

Imagine this minus the roses and greenery and add spider mums, football mums, and hypericum berries. My floral is going to be red, white, and yellow. I'm also going to have crystals through out the bouquets. I hope it looks good in the end as good as it does in my head. :lmao:

My bouquet is going to have 4 photo charms hanging from it. One for each deceased family memer of mine. :sad1: She was going to charge me $20/each charm but she cut me a deal to free! :banana:

corsage1.jpg

This is the corsage I like but in red, white, and yellow. Not so sure about the ribbon. Deffinately wrist corsages too. I despise pin-on corsages.

DF wants this boutenniere in red and a gerbera daisy... curly q and all. ;)

These are our centerpieces. $35/each! :) They're also going to be our altar decor. Fresh candles will be put in for the reception. Not sure what flower petals she's going to use for them yet. I'll also have red rose petals sprinkled on the tables with 4 votive candles lit.

Also, not included in the proposal but I'll be sprinkling the aisle with red rose petals. I can get that off a website for $150.

Is this expensive for floral? I'm ordering:
1 bridal bouquet - $100
1 maid of honor bouquet - $55.00
1 bridesmaid bouquet - $45.00
1 grooms boutonnière – $8.00
1 best man boutonnière - $7.00
1 groomsman boutonnière - $7.00
2 father boutonnières 2 @ $7.00 = $14.00
2 grandfathers boutonnières 2 @ $7.00 = $14.00
2 mothers corsages 2 @ $15.00 = $30.00
2 grandmothers corsages 2 @ $15.00 = $30.00
3 other corsages 3 @ $15.00 = $45.00
1 throw away bouquet $25.00
centerpieces 4 @ $35.00 = $140.00
1 memorial rose = $5.00
plus tax, delivery, set-up, and take down fees.

Just bought this bad boy off eBay for $24.90. I saw it in a catalog for $79.99. I'm pretty much in love with it.

So I went to Michaels and got a vase for $2, a 2lb pack of red stones for $1, a large floating candle for $1.99, and a round mirror at AC Moore for $6.99, and then some gerbera daisies and yellow rose petals at Shop Rite for $10.00. I played around a bit and this what I came up with:

Very simple. I love the apples. No one else likes them but me but owell.

Another is the same thing but I layered yellow rose petals, a red gerbera daisy, then the floating candle.

Which one do you guys like? I'm just experimenting 'cause I'm so dang indecisive.
 
Thanks for the heads up on the 'sucky' (I know its not a word!) alfred angelo yellow! I was just browsing through their website and thought some of their dresses were lovely but I don't wanna risk a not nice yellow!

Have you tried mori lee? they've got some really nice dresses.

Wow! I checked it out and thank you! Beautiful dresses!! I've book marked quite a few of them. ;)
 
That is a great price for all your floral.
 
OK call me stupid but I finally just found your new PJ (when the link was in you siggie the whole time... duh!!) everything looks great. I really like the second centerpiece, the one with the daisies. It has more color to it and looks really good.
