purty flowers…

I am anxiously awaiting my order of silk flowers & other supplies to arrive so I can start making the bouquets, the flower girl basket, and all the corsages and boutonnieres. I got the first box yesterday. The place I ordered from was in California, so it only took two days to get here. The other place is in New York, so it should get here by Monday.

I'll be enlisting the help of Josh's mom and probably his sister-in-law as well.

My colors are lilac & pearl... So I'll be using cream white colored roses and lilac/white colored orchids, and cream white & lavender carnations. The carnations are for the fathers', brother's and grandfather's boutonnieres.

I know the point of a flower girl's basket is to hold flower petals for the flower girl to throw on the ground as she walks up the isle, but frankly, I don't think anyone is going to feel like cleaning up the mess of that, so I plan on making the flower basket like mine was when I was a flower girl... basically a bouquet in a basket. I may even paint the basket with white pearl acrylic paint (it's currently light straw colored).

Which reminds me... I need to get a small foam core for it. I got the basket already but forgot the foam. Oopsie.

Anyway, I'll be sure to take pictures when they're all done and post them in my photoblog when the time comes, so everyone can see our handywork!
