Hi sweetie!!
For the bridesmaids my favourite is # 5 and for you, pretty girl, my favourite is # 5 or # 6

 

[elleinad16]

#4 for you!

 

[Shannon84]

Love the save the dates, the envelopes are beautiful and they all flow great!! good stuff!!

Going to look at the bridesmaid photos now

 

[DoomBuggy0922]

Just a warning about #4: my MOH tried that dress on too. She said the fabric was SUPER clingy and showed everything.

I like #3 for you. And it's not an option, but I think #6 would be great for you too!

 

[MrsDuck]

My favorite dresses are #1, 3, 6, 7, and 10! They're all really pretty.

I think #3 for you!

 

[Jilian]

That is really cool that you are letting your bridesmaids choose for themselves! I like the last one for you. You could totally pull that off with your body type.

 

[belle2211]

I really like #3 for you..it looks so fiesta-y!

 

[tinydancr06]

Just finished reading through your pj and love everything! Your story is so romantic and I LOVE your save the dates. Excited to read more as you get closer to your big day!

Blue orchids and bouquet design of what mine will resemble

the brown curlies are the monkey tail

The purple that looks like cabbage is actually Kale and yes it is a vegetable and yes you can eat it...yes Greg asked if he gets hungry can he eat my bouquet...I told him no!

I personally think this is really good with all the floral costs I have seen around on the boards lately. I feel like I am getting a lot and not having to give up anything.

Hooray for a great floral company so far

[CDsSleepingBeauty]

I love the floral, especially your bouquet! I've been thinking about adding the electric blue dendrobium orchids to my bouquet.

 

[tinkerbell 766]

I used 'Petals by Design Orlando' for my floral too and although my order was very much smaller than yours, I was absolutely thrilled with everything!!
I love all your inspiration pictures!! Very pretty!!

 

[DoomBuggy0922]

Awesome! I love all of your floral inspiration pictures. I definitely think you're getting a lot for that price: they're so much more reasonably priced than DFTW!

 

[Jilian]

Wow, you are getting a ton of floral for the price! I love you choices and I can't wait to see how everything looks together.

 

[MrsDuck]

The floral prices are great and I really like your inspiration pictures! Can't wait to see it come together.

 

[NoOrdinaryPrincess]

Wow! Your flower ideas are phenominal. Somehow I missed/didn't remember you were having a peacock-themed shindig.

 

[yourgypsy]

Teresa, everything looks SO beautiful! That first bouquet picture is gorgeous.

 

[lilsqueakrr]

It all looks/sounds gorgeous! I love the blue orchids so much! We may sneak a few into our florals, just depends on the colors. I have more of a teal in our scheme.

That pricing is just fabulous. I'm somewhat JEALOUS! ;D

 

[Chilly]

sounds amazing

 

[2dogmom]

Love your flower inspirations and the price. I still need to work on flowers and decide what I am going to do. I think I will check out your place.
