Still Need to Book:
Florist
Engagement Encounter

I’m not sure why I am putting off booking the florist. Part of me feels like this isn’t something that needs to be done right away. Part of me feels like I know nothing about flowers, so finding the right florist for the right price is going to take some research, and a few meetings. Not so keen on the meetings part. I should just get over it though, I think I know exactly what I want. And I think we are going to do our own centerpieces (in an effort to save money, however the time factor may cause me to just hand this over to a professional)  So really the florist would only be doing our bouquets, which I think I want to look like this:

Just a bunch of white Ranunculus, with the same for the bridesmaids, only smaller, and possibly mixed with marigold colored ones. With marigold colored ones for the guys. Here is another option.

Here are some pictures of the look I want for the centerpieces:

(all from Martha)

Simple. Simple. Simple. I know that creating these centerpieces wouldn’t be so hard… it is more of the creating centerpieces while baking cookies for the favors part… and the who is going to set them all up the morning of part.
