Another Change?

Thanks to one of my Knottie sisters, Cincy, and her helpful daily gorgeous wedding posts, I realized today that I want small simple, elegant centerpieces! What we plan to have currently is tall vases filled with limes with calla lilies at the top. GREAT! Because our colors are navy and lime, so that matches the color scheme. But now, I'm thinking small, sexy centerpieces. Something with classic flower and some candles. {Similar to those in today's daily post, wedding #1.}

With that said, I'm trying to figure out how to make navy and lime {and some silver} classic and sexy. Or I'm thinking maybe we should just change the colors. It's not like we've bought anything in the colors anyway.

I pose this question to whoever might be reading, as well as the ladies on TK:

Do you think I can do the sexy, dim room with up-lighting and pull it off with the navy and lime or should we change it to something else, like red and black or something?

Also, with the new simplicity, I think I'd have to change up our table numbers {that I need to post on here.} Maybe something with just numbers instead of our e-pix. Or I can do the e-pix in black and white.

I think I'm just rambling.

Here are some small centerpieces that I like:

I wonder if I could do this with limes, calla lilies, and candles.


Or this with callas and candles.


This with different flowers.

Or this.

I should be deciding soon what way we're going to go with the colors and centerpieces. I'm hoping that the smaller centerpieces will cut some cost, but candles can be expensive. BUT they can be bought in bulk. So, who knows?!

No Kids

I don't want any kids at the wedding. Babe's daughter and my little brother are enough for me. With that being the case, I was trying to figure out what I would use as an alternative to a ring bearer and a flower girl. I suppose since ring bearers don't really carry the rings that the Best Man and Maid of Honor would be in charge of that, as usual. But I want "Coming to America" flowers! lol. So, I saw this:

I think this is beautiful! BUT everyone would walk on it before me! That's not cool. I'll come up with something. This whole no kids thing is becoming harder than I thought!

The Pretty Stuff

I'm a very visual person! So, looking at the emptiness of my ceremony space really leaves room for my imagination. My coordinator will be handling all of my floral arrangements. Since I don't like columns, I didn't want floral arrangements sitting on top of columns. So, she'll be doing them a different way. I don't quite remember.... But I was thinking that the aisle could be decorated like this:

{Found here.}

I don't really want an aisle runner because I like the floor in the room. But I would love to have the rose petals and vases with the floating candles. I think that is so beautiful! The ceremony will be at 4pm, so it won't be dark outside, but the curtains will be closed. I think we should be able to dim the lights and make the candles work. My only problem is... where the heck am I gonna get some vases similar to those and who the heck is paying for them?! lol

Flower Power Continued

In less than an hour, I'll be meeting with the florist at Always Floral. I'm so excited. Well, I'm not sure what to expect, but we'll see. Here are the bridesmaids bouquets that I'll be showing her.

{This bouquet could be found at this wedding.}

{IDK where 3/4 of these flowers came from. If you know, feel free to leave a comment and let me know}

I hope this goes well! Guess I should go take a shower now! lol

Flower Power

Friday I have an appointment with a potential florist! YAY! I will be meeting with Always Floral. This is great, right? WRONG! I don't know anything about flowers. Really don't care for them. I just know that I really want this bouquet:

Or something similar. You can see some of my flower ideas here. You're probably wondering what's the big problem?! Well... the problem is that I don't know/care what kind of bouquets I want for the bridal party! So, I'm thinking... if they have navy dresses {which that's the plan}, they can have some kind of green flower with some white to POP. The florist wants me to bring pictures with me Friday, so I guess I have to get on it finding inspiration. I've been trying, but I get bored with this whole flower search! Hopefully I'll find SOMETHING by then. Wish me luck.

A Piece in the Center

As we all know, I want to do a lot {kinna} of DIY stuff! My venue has centerpieces to choose from, but I don't think they are exactly what I'm looking for. I haven't seen all of them that they have, but I know I won't like them. lol. While looking for vases, I stumbled on Dollar Tree's website. So, I stumbled to their vases. Then... BAM! I saw a vase that I liked AND a whole dang centerpiece!!!

I LOVE this simple centerpiece! It's so simple, elegant, and a little fun! These flowers are called gladiolus. Hopefully they will be in season and they can be green or something! lol. I also like the way the roses looked. I just think roses are real common at weddings and that's not what I want.

Owww, after posting this, I found the flower in green! I plan to start looking for a florist tomorrow!

It's Spring Time!!!

And the flowers are growing in full force!!! I'm not a flower person, but I've grown to LOVE calla lilies. I know that so far I'm all over the place with this whole wedding thing, but hey, I have to get it done, right? Recently, I've been going through all the emails that Martha Stewart's website sends out every day, and I came across flowers. Here are a few ideas that I like.


I love how classic these calla lilies look. I also like the ribbon and button look.


I like the ribbons on this bouquet.


I think that the monogram is a great personalization.


I don't think that I'd try anything like this, but this arrangement is very unique. Well, I like being different, so I could see myself having something similar.
