Wedding Planning: {Flowers}

August 1, 2012 Comments : 6

I’ll be honest – the entire time we’ve been planning our wedding, the flowers have been the lowest priority on our “to do” list. I finally managed to pull it together in time to meet with three florists, and we’re pretty sure we’ve made a final decision on flowers! Thank goodness. I just couldn’t spend a lot of time thinking about the flowers…I’m way too impatient and indifferent about them. In an effort to be completely contradictory, I will say that I want the flowers to look perfect and make a classic, simple statement. But I still feel indifferent. Moving on. 😉

var _gaq = _gaq || [];
_gaq.push([‘_setAccount’, ‘UA-20949449-1’]);
_gaq.push([‘_trackPageview’]);

(function() {
var ga = document.createElement(‘script’); ga.type = ‘text/javascript’; ga.async = true;
ga.src = (‘https:’ == document.location.protocol ? ‘https://ssl’ : ‘https://www’) + ‘.google-analytics.com/ga.js’;
var s = document.getElementsByTagName(‘script’)[0]; s.parentNode.insertBefore(ga, s);
})();

I didn’t realize how traditional, classic, and simple my tastes were until I started planning my wedding…but it’s very obvious to me now – and probably to everyone else when they see our wedding & reception! I wanted pretty flowers, but nothing outrageous or over the top. Just classic and gorgeous. I originally was going to only have hydrangeas – light blue for me and ivory for my bridesmaids. But I realized that our only colors would be blue and ivory and I truthfully got a little bit bored! I ended up coming across a gorgeous light pink rose bouquet, and I knew right away that it was THE ONE. So I had to find a way to incorporate pink into our wedding. But just a touch of pink…otherwise, I’d hate it. So here is the inspiration bouquet:
My bridesmaids will carry simple, ivory hydrangea bouquets which makes me extremely happy. With all the pink happening in my bouquet, I couldn’t handle any more overstated colors. Ha ha. Our flower girls will have rose petals and will wear floral wreaths in their hair, which I think is going to be adorable with their dresses! Our groomsmen, ring bearer, and ushers will wear ivory rose boutonnieres and M will wear a pink rose to distinguish him from the other guys and to match my bouquet, obviously. He actually let me make the decision for him to wear the pink rose…I think he trusts my instincts…and he can totally pull it off. 🙂
For our reception table arrangements, I chose three styles so that not every table has the same arrangement. We are anticipating having about 25 round tables, so I think it will look nice having a variety across the room. We’ll have:
  • A tall, dramatic cylinder vase filled with ivory hydrangeas
  • A shorter cylinder vase, also with hydrangeas
  • A short, square vase filled with pink roses that match my bouquet

Like I said, I’m extremely simple and classic when it comes to wedding flowers…as you can see. I’m really optimistic that it’s going to look fabulous, and I can’t wait to see how everything looks on our wedding day!

    Pretty! Our colors are similar – mine are teal, pinks, black and white. I went with pink flowers as well – and mine were pretty low on the priority list. Probably why we're less than 2 months away and I haven't even gotten a proposal back from the florist!

Last week to this week ➡️ We’re SO grateful Last week to this week ➡️ We’re SO grateful for a quick recovery from pneumonia — having a sick child is scary enough, but to top it off with no space in our local hospitals’ PICU and being flown to Asheville, you can imagine we were beyond stressed last week 😩 So so grateful she’s back to normal and on International Women’s Day, it felt like a good time to celebrate Brynn 🥰 Thank you to all of our friends & family who reached out, lent a helping hand and kept us in your thoughts & prayers ❤️

Prolon Day 3 | The day started off really good — Prolon Day 3 | The day started off really good — I felt very clear-minded and awake this AM 🥳 Truly, I was nervous because today was a very low-cal day and I wasn’t sure how I’d feel 😅 I did grab a plain iced espresso because my energy was depleting super quickly and that def helped 👌🏼 After lunch, though, I started to hate depriving myself of real food and disliked that I couldn’t push myself in my workouts like I usually do 😒 After dealing with three kids who clearly woke up on the wrong side of the bed 😆, slicing my hand open with a knife and being cranky and irritable because I’ve been hangry for 3 days, I caved. And sorry, not sorry ✌🏼 I just wanted a dang salad and some protein so I can lift heavy things 💪🏼 Moral of the story, listen to your body and what it needs. And maybe try a 1-2 day cleanse/fast because that’s about all mine could handle 🤪

@prolonfmd Day Two | Overall an easier day than ye @prolonfmd Day Two | Overall an easier day than yesterday 👌🏼 Time went by faster and I didn’t have any nausea from being hungry…I looked forward to and savored all of today’s meals — the black bean soup for dinner was actually really good (esp with a little cumin + paprika!) 🙌🏼 I did @pure_barre this AM and then a @onepeloton walk this afternoon…keeping it light because of how little I’m consuming this week 😅 Not gonna lie, nervous for day 3 because it’s the lightest day of food and I’m already pretty hangry in general 🤣 Interestingly, I’ve felt pretty amazing today other than just craving a real meal 👌🏼 Btw, was so hungry for dinner that I forgot to share it in the reel 🤦🏼‍♀️
