Flower Power
September 20, 2008 | 3 Comments
Ok, this blogging thing would seriously be easier if I had a camera that works. Our one has gone nuts - you put batteries in, take five photos, and then they’re dead. Needless to say, we don’t keep buying batteries every five photos…so right now there are none. So I can’t show you my favours…which aren’t complete anyway, though they really should be! So maybe it’s just as well.
I realised that I never really posted about the flowers I finally chose for the bouqets and centrepieces. To be honest, they’re ever-so-slightly up in the air until the Day Of, because I told the florist just to get what’s available in the right colour for the centrepieces, in order of preference: Lilies, tulips, peonies……and waaaay last, roses. Reason is, my friend Henni (her brother) is paying for my flowers, and I don’t want to overload him and make him pay for more expensive lilies, say, when peonies will do just fine. Or whatever. As long as the look and feel is there, I don’t mind! This is the look I finally chose:

Except that I felt it was just a little too much going on for one table, not to mention a few too many vases and flowers expense-wise, so I trimmed it down to this bit:
Eat your centrepieces

Who ever said that eating the centrepieces was not proper wedding etiquette? I think this is a fab idea. The centrepieces wont go to waste, and you can even save a few bucks skipping the starter or combing your centrepiece into favours.

Edible wedding centerpieces are especially great if you are planning to let your guests be seated while you are having your photos taken. A lot of couples like to do this as it keeps the guests from getting bored. You can let them nibble on the centrepiece while they await your grand entrance. Just let them know that they can dig in by placing little cards on their place setting or nominating a family member to spread the word.
