Just a few thoughts from a simple girl as I try to plan a wedding amidst the craziness of my life...

About Me

I am 25 year old getting ready for our nuptials on May 01, 2010. I am currently a graduate student majoring in Occupational Therapy. I love to write and I love weddings (well I used to). I thought it would be a great way to blend a few of my loves into a blog. Sit back and enjoy while I attempt to juggle planning a wedding on a budget while doing schoolwork. So let the madness begin!!

Flower centerpieces...

I've been searching for a florist in a lazy kind of way. I looked up some places on Theknot.com and asked my cousin, who just got married two weeks ago, who did hers. I don't really know much about flowers, all I know is they are pretty and I want lots of purple. The ceiling at my reception site is really high so I was thinking that I should have tall centerpieces. Here are a few that I found that I thought were cute and/or interesting:


















I love the look of flowers floating in the water, it is so pretty to me. And the wine bottle with the personalized picture is a really nice touch. The last picture has the apples in the stem of the vase and that is really cute!






























Low centerpieces: My roommate had a centerpiece similar to the first one with red roses. It was really economical as well, as she bought bushels from Costco/Sam's Club and we assembled them ourselves. They were so simple and so elegant. Unlike other weddings, I have been to, I still remember her centerpieces. I also love the last one, the white vase is such a stark contrast to the cream flowers and the greenery. You can tell I'm a flower novice, I have no idea what the greenery is...lol...
So many pretty flowers and choices! I must say, I have loved the floating flower set up since the first moment I laid eyes on it.
What kind of centerpieces are you envisioning for your big day?
